Passage One
After having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate. It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate.

However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate.

Some danger signs include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning, forgetfulness, aches(疼痛) and pains for no apparent(明显的) reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to eat poorly, loss of interest in activities, etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many of these symptoms(症状), but if you have noticed several of them, and you have experienced them for months, you may need to do something.
If you notice these signs in yourself or your loved one, check with your doctor to eliminate(排除) other possibilities.

Dear Zhang Wei,
I am glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.
However, I am afraid there is some bad news. I am planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit. All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, I am lucky enough to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the conference. I really can’t miss it.
I understand that it will be your first time to this city and I am
your only friend here. I have asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room. He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday!
Yours Sincerely Li Ming
