Many Japanese never take their vacations they should enjoy, but with the coming of “Golden Week”, a series(系列) of holidays following one after another in late April and early May, they pour out of the country by tens of thousands. The most popular place they go to is Hawaii, but Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan are also favoured. The typical Japanese abroad, as it is reported, travel for about a week and spends, as average, $2, 800 on airline tickets, hotels and gifts for friends and relatives. It may seem high, but it’s cheap for the Japanese, who would have to spend a lot more if they spend a week touring (making a journey) their own country.

Last week the manager of an old jeweler’s shop received a letter marked “personal”, so of course his secretary gave it to him unopened. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. Then he opened it and a ￡10 note fell out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is what it said:
Dear sir,
In 1935 I got engaged. But unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job. I was six months without a job and then I got work again. But of course was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring. The assistant brought some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girl-friend’s finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring.
My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience (良心) all these years. At the time the ring cost ￡2 so I reckon (估计) that is about ￡10 at today’s price. And I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer
“Well, well, well,” said the manager, “life is full of surprises!”

Chemists have been studying why people cry. They say the body produces two kinds of tears. One kind cleans out the eye if it gets dirt in it. But when people cry because of their feelings, these tears have poisonous chemicals in them. The body is getting rid of chemicals produced by strong feelings.
In the United States men have heart diseases more often than women do. Doctors say heart disease and some other diseases are related(有关的) to the pressures of living and working in a modern society. Perhaps men suffer more from these diseases because they do not cry enough. And it is possible that as more and more women work outside the home, they will also suffer from more pressure. Then everyone will need to cry more.

When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services, where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend all the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.
There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels. However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.
In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites(套房), which include two or more rooms connected together—perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.
1. One’s choice of a particular hotel is made mainly according to _______.
A. how much one is willing to pay for a night
B. whether one is travelling on business or for pleasure

Dear Social Security,
I am applying for a new Social Security Card.
I lost my old one last week, I was walking home from the subway station, and I pulled a tissue(纸巾)out of my pocket and lost my wallet at the same time. My card was in my wallet.
Please send me a new card. If you can get the card to me within two weeks, please sent it to the address at the top of the page. If it will take longer than this, then you will have to send it to my new address. I am moving on May 23rd to 103 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 28445
If you can send my new card within two weeks, I would be very pleased. I am applying for a new job at Ventura Savings Bank, and I know they will want to have my Social Security Number. Unfortunately I have forgotten it, so I will need my card to find out. On my old card I was called Victoria Matthews. Since then I have gotten married. Please issue my new card in my married name: Victoria Villata. In case you need more information about me to hunt down my old number, my date of birth was September 11, 1985. Thank you very much.
Sincerely
Victoria Villata
