Joseph has written a letter to his cousins, James and Susan. Here is the letter.
Dear James and Susan,
I am writing to you again because I am at home in bed. I have a cold recently and I am unable to go to school. I really have more than a cold, it’s the flu. I’ve got a fever and a severe headache as well. I lose my appetite and I find food tasteless.
The weather here in Toronto is horrible. I am sure the weather is much better in Hong Kong. Do you agree? The snow came a bit early this year and it was freezing cold. There’s a foot of snow on the ground. It’s surprising to see kids cheerfully playing in the snow and building castles and snowmen this morning. A few of them made snowballs by pressing snow together and threw them at each other.
I am going to have my examination soon. I’m extremely worried about it because I’m too sick to get out of bed and hold my text-books. What’s more, I haven’t attended lessons for nearly one week. I have to work hard to catch up with my classmates.
I have got a new mate recently. He’s on my bed. That is Bobby, our cat. Uncle Tom gave him to me as my birthday present. He is rather disobedient and he runs here and there from time to time. He’s much more energetic than me. However, I’m glad to have him with me at the moment.
Well, I am quite tired from writing this letter, I’ll finish here. Please write to me if you have time. Give my regards to your Mom and Dad.
Best wishes,
Joseph

Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don’t worry, because most earthquakes are so weak that cannot be

Many earthquakes have happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan. Thousands of people died in it. So it’s important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay 76 in an earthquake.

When an earthquake has ended, be careful because after-shocks may still
79 . These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it’s safe to get up.

In general, laws for children are a good thing.
One hundred years ago, in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at the age of seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell (1)a 81 or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the (2)s 82 .
Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey (3)r 83 or they should be punished（惩罚）, others do not (4)a 84 . The Eskimos (爱斯基摩人) in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don’t hit their children. If the children go too far, the parents punish them by making fun of them.
Children in other parts of the world are not as (5)l 85 as Eskimo children. American parents can spank (打⋯⋯臀部) their children at home, but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school. This is also (6)t 86 in Germany. In contrast, it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a (7)s 87 government official who works for their rights（权利）.
