Like most students she had very little money, but she wanted to buy a car. If I can buy one really cheap that works, she thought, I will save money on bus fares. Then Ill have more to spend on food.” She spent a day looking at cars in the secondhand car yards. Most of them were much too expensive, but at last she found one for $ 250. The car was rusty（生锈的）and the paint was badly damaged, but it worked Its got a good engine, the salesman said, and the gear-box（齿轮箱；变速箱）is OK. Forget everything else.” Kathy bought the car and drove it out of the car yard. Everything was wrong with it except for the engine and gearbox, which worked very well. As long as they work, Kathy thought, nothing else matters. The salesman was right.” Unfortunately, a few days later, while she was driving to her university, a police car drove up beside her and made her stop. A young policeman got out of his car and walked around Kathys car. He looked at it disbelievingly. He made a list of the things wrong with the car. It was a very long list. Then he looked inside the car. Does your speedometer（时速表）work? he asked. Kathy shook her head. It is against the law, Miss, he said, not to know how fast you are traveling.” Kathy smiled at him sweetly. Oh, but I do know how fast I am traveling, she said.

The police officer told her. BDear David, How are you? I am in Malaysia but it took a long time to get here! Our flight from Sydney, Australia was at eight oclock in the morning. We had to arrive at the airport two hours before our flight departed, so we had to be at the airport at about six oclock. We left our flat at half past four in the morning, and we thought it would be easy to get to the airport on time. We caught a bus at five oclock. Unfortunately, the bus broke down while we were traveling along the highway. We waited for half an hour, but another bus didnt come. My father was getting anxious. He looked at his watch and said, Well be lucky to get to the airport before seven oclock， We decided to take a taxi to the airport. We were late and we thought a taxi would be faster. Wrong! We found a taxi, but the taxi got stuck in a traffic jam. We finally arrived at the airport at ten past eight. We looked at the departure board and saw that our flight had already left. My father went to the airline office and explained why we were late. The people that worked there were very helpful. They said we could travel to Kuala Lumpur on the next flight, which left three hours later. We waited for two hours, and then we heard an announcement that said our new flight to Kuala Lumpur had been cancelled! My father went back to the airline office. He asked them what was going to happen to us. About one hour later, the airline put us on a flight to Bangkok, Thailand. In Bangkok, we had to change planes in order to catch another flight to Kuala Lumpur. The flight from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur was then delayed for three hours because of bad weather. When we finally arrived in Kuala Lumpur, it was 12oclock midnight! We were supposed to arrive at 12 oclock mid-day! What a terrible journey! Ill write more soon. Your friend, Stephen1.

My generation grew up with no MTV, no college loan deadbeats，no $ 175 sneakers（软底鞋），no underwear worn in public and very little jewelry worn on the tongue. Yet somehow we broke through and, achieved all these things, and more. I believe that your generation is far more humane and caring than my own. You ask questions: What is the meaning of life? How can I make a fortune with almost no money down? Why do we have to sit round in the hot sun listening to a commencement speech? I do not recall who it was who spoke at my own graduation Whoever it was, I know I looked to him for wisdom and guidance, just as you now look to me. I suppose if there is one single message Id like to leave with you, it is this: concentrate（集中精力）on what you are doing. If you do it well, you will be successful, unless you are trying to eliminate（消除）the federal deficit（赤字）or establish an indoor smoking zone Act daringly. Do not fear making mistakes; though if you make one, look out. Make a contribution Even though 70 percent of you will be lawyers, still 1 say to you: Try to do something useful with your life, if only in your spare time. In a very real sense, your graduation here today is not an ending but a commencement, a beginning. If I may say so, this is, in fact, the first day of the rest of your lives. I realize it is a bit shocking to look at graduation this way, but I believe we must. Thank you, and lots of luck. Youll need it.1.

The planet moved closer to earth than at any time in the last 5,000 years. If that doesnt sound close, just remember that it was five times. as distant only six months ago. You cant miss Mars, its bright and red, said Myles Standish, an American astronomer. Mars is so close because of something called opposition. This means the sun, the earth and Mars are positioned in a straight line and, as a result, theyre closer (remember, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line). For the next few weeks the planet should shine brighter than any other star, apart from the moon and Venus（金星） It wont be difficult to see Mars. You can use a telescope if you have one, but you wont need it. Mars will be so bright that even the tights of the city shouldnt get in the way. All you need to do is to go outside and look up at the sky. Mars can be found a little to the south and a little to the east. But the planet will not seem very big, it will shine like a coin seen from 500 feet away. Even though Mars is twice the size of the moon, it is 145 times as distant. And it might not be red either. If there are dust storms on Mars, it will look mostly gold. If you do see red, then youre seeing the surface of the planet. Make sure you go outside and have a look: the next time Mars will be this close will be August 28, 2287. Cool Facts about Mars: The last time it rained on Mars was about 3 billion years ago. Youd have more time on Mars: The Martian day is 24 hours 37 minutes. What would you do with an extra half hour? Gravity is less on Mars than on the earth. So someone who weighs 100 pounds here would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.1. On February 27, 2003, Mars was aboutmiles away from the earth. A.6,929,283 B.173,232,090 C.34,646,418 D.17,323,2092.
