22、Dear Zhang Hua,

Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.

Now we are staying in Bangkok（曼谷）. It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry（珠宝）and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace; my father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.

Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok. However, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things when I travel.

The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it’s hot again.

Yours,

Mary

23、   While Mr Wan, his wife and their little daughter were in Europe,they decided to drive three days to Germany. His little daughter had never traveled at night before. She was scared the first night in the car, with the deep darkness outside.

"Where are we going, Daddy?" To your uncle's house in Germany. "

24、Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any money at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small credit card(信用卡). We will use it instead of money to buy all the things.

Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. For example, we lose money from time to time. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the cards. Someone may even make a card that looks like our cards. Since we can’t buy anything without our cards, the credit cards may be no better than money.

Is there something easier to use than credit cards? Each of us has a thumbprint(拇指指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people’s thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something, you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will posses one. Everyone’s thumbprints will be in the computer. It will be difficult to lose our thumbprints! It will be difficult for someone to steal it or to make one like it.

25、Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier, but how well do we know and u【1】 each other? Here is a simple test.

If they are Americans, they will probably be fifteen minutes early. If they are British, they’ll be fifteen minutes late.

The British seemed to have thought since the English l【5】 was widely used in the world, what they did was certain to be widely understood. Very soon they f【6】 they were completely (完全地) wrong. For e【7】, the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters with a drink during the meal, but the Japanese prefer not to talk about work while e【8】. Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know e【9】other, and they don’t drink at lunch. The Germans like to talk about business b【10】 dinner, and the French like to eat first and talk afterwards.
