Dear Du Juan,
I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now. But as a friend of yours, I don't think you should be unhappy.
I know that your family is not rich, so your parents can't afford to buy you clothes of famous brands (名牌), which makes you unhappy. Although we don't have much money, we can have a good mood every day. Many rich people have too much money, but they often feel bored and lonely. Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future. This is not easy for your parents. So you should thank them. Don't ask for something that is out of your parents' reach. Don't be vain-glorious (虚荣的).
I also think you should put your heart into study. Read more books and you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition, you will become happy.
So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad. You should smile and think you are lucky in life.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Wish you happy!
Yours,
Meimei

My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. I was so excited about it. Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play.
“Choose a character in the play whom you'd like to be,” she told us. “This afternoon, you can learn a few lines of this part as homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I'll decide who play each part.”
I wanted to have one of the biggest parts in the play, so I chose the part of the king. There were a lot of lines to say. I learned them by heart.
This morning in our English class, we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted really well.
Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher decided who would play each part.
Many of the students in my class couldn't act at all. They couldn't even read without making lots of mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play.
However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He had only one line. It was, “Yes, sir!”
I was very disappointed. At the end of the class, I went up to her and asked her why I had such a small part.
“You put too much expression in your acting,” she said. “Good acting is not big acting. It is acting that the audience can believe in.”
I think I know what she means.
( )68.How did the writer feel when the teacher told the class they would put on a play
A.Bored. B.Sad.
C.Excited. D.Unhappy.
( )69.What did the writer want to do in the play

B.To organize the play.
C.To get a large acting part.
D.To work the lights.
( )70.Why didn't the teacher give the writer the part of the king
A.Because he did not act correctly.
B.Because he did not know the lines.
C.Because he was not handsome.
D.Because he was too short.
( )71.What does the underlined word “They” refer to
A.Many teachers.
B.Many students.
C.Many parents.
D.Many friends.
( )72.What can we learn from the passage
A.The writer made many mistakes.
B.The teacher didn't like the writer.
C.The writer's classmates acted well.
D. The king was one of the biggest parts in the play.

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely. 73.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 74. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. 75. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. 76. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. 77.
A.When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you.
B.If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
C.And those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
D.And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too.
E.I want to help those who have no houses.
F.When you meet with difficulties, you can give them up and be happy.
G.It's a feeling of your heart.

One Possible Version:
Dear Eric,
I know that you prefer to stay at home rather than go out and have fun. That's because you are shy. You feel nervous when you answer the teachers' questions.
Please don't worry about what others think of you. You'd better do something to change. First, try to talk with your classmates or help them when they need. Then try to answer one easy question in front of the class. If you start, you will feel much better. And it's a good idea to go out and have fun doing sports with your friends. If you can do these, you will be more confident.
Yours,
Li Hua
