Dear Henry，

Knowing you are so interested intraditional Chinese culture that you areplanning to take a related course outside ofschool， I highly recommend the course“Introduction to Chinese Culture” offeredby the local cultural center.

The subjects of the course， whether itis history， philosophy， art or traditions，allprovide a comprehensive overview ofvarious aspects of Chinese culture. It notonly covers theoretical knowledge but alsohas practical activities， such as calligraphyand tea ceremony classes.

To learn the course well， I suggestimmersing yourself in Chinese culture asmuch as possible. Additionally， practicingMandarin Chinese would also be beneficialas it will help you understand the cultureon a deeper level.

I believe this course will be a wonderfulopportunity for you to explore andappreciate the richness of traditionalChinese culture.

Dear Jenny，

Thank you for asking about the recentdiscovery of ancient Chinese wooden slips.

Discovered in Chongqing Municipality，these wooden slips date back to theWestern Han Dynasty and provide insightsinto the Chinese astronomical calendar.The wellpreservedset of 23 slips relatedto the Ten Heavenly Stems and 12 EarthlyBranches， used to divide a day into 12twohourperiods. This discovery is significantas it sheds light on burial customs ofthe area and the history of China.

The tomb dates back to 193 BC，making it one of the oldest Western HanDynasty tombs and contributing to ourunderstanding of Chinese culture.

Best regards，

Deep understanding

1. It doesnt contradict the fishermans“tough” image. It is the instinct of everyfighter who runs out of energy to fight tohave a brief hesitation and fear， but whenfacing emergency， he does not hesitate tofight， which makes the character more real.At the same time， the unbeaten spirit is notonly reflected in the fight between the oldman and the shark， but also in the innerstruggle where he is shaky， suspicious andwants to compromise. The victory of thiskind of struggle explains the real value ofthe unbeaten spirit—one cannot be defeatedby himself.

2. From the secular point of view， the oldman may be a loser. But actually， he is a“tough guy” who does not bow to fate， awarrior who fights bravely with courage，perseverance and wisdom no matter howdifficult the environment is and a personwho defends the“ dignity of human soul”.He is a loser， a failed hero and a“ tough”man.

Postreading activity

1. What is success？ Everyone canhave his own opinion. As far as Imconcerned， success is to be yourself—follow your inner enthusiasm， do what youwant to do， and live in the way you want.

2. Struggling in trouble， I should haveunyielding faith in myself， the courage toface challenges， unwavering determinationand invincible dignity. Because man is notmade for defeat—a man can be destroyedbut not defeated.

3. You are just an ordinary fishermanon the deep sea. When the waves roll， younever flinch. When sharks strike， younever fear. When difficulties approach，you never blench. When failure comes， youignore it. Nothing can knock you out andnothing can hurt you. You defend the“dignity of human soul” with your action.

If there is one thing in the worldcalled fearlessness， the person who canprove it is Santiago.

If there is something in the worldcalled persistence， the person who owns itis Santiago.

If there is a kind of person called ahero， his name is Santiago.

Mom was right—she had been unaware of what was happening.Grabbing her hand and mine， Momled us downstairs and rushed outside to asafe spot against time.

Paragraph 2：

Luckily， some neighbors passing bystopped and offered help. The firemen hadjust arrived and set about fighting the fireblaze， which was reaching up to the twofloors above the motorcycle shop. Comprehendingthe gravity of the situation， Janebroke down. Holding my mothers handstightly， and with tears flowing down hercheeks， she spoke something to Mom. Icould not hear what she said， but there wasno mistaking her gratitude. I dread to thinkwhat would have happened if Mom had notturned back for her. How brave my Momwas！

Paragraph 1：

Finally， I arrived at Room 512. Iturned the key in the lock and pushed thedoor a little open， with Dad still complainingabout his hurting knee or something. Iput my head in， expecting the worst. Butmuch to my surprise， the room wasntempty at all. It was furnished with two setsof desks and chairs， bookshelves， curtains，a TV and several pleasant paintings on thewalls.

Paragraph 2：

And there on a well?made bed sat agirl， my new roommate. She was dressedsimply but neatly. Greeting me with a nod，she said in a soft voice，“ Hi， Im Amy. Youmust be Cori.” Then， she turned down themusic and looked over at Dad， “And ofcourse， youre Mr Faber，” she said smiling.“Would you like a glass of iced tea？”Dad's face turned decidedly less red beforehe could bring out a “yes”. I knew thenthat Amy and I would be friends and myfirst year of college would be a success.
