　　Dear Eric,

　　You want to know about Chinese paper cut. Here I'm glad to tell you something about it.

　　Chinese paper cut has a long history of over 2,000 years. It can be seen in different parts of China. Many people, no matter young or old, are fond of it.

　　People in northern part of China do well in making paper cut. They cut paper into different shapes, like birds, animals, flowers and so on.

　　I think Chinese paper cuts are not only beautiful but also very useful. People usually put them on doors or windows when they celebrate something happy, especially for the Spring Festival. More and more people are interested in it. I hope you'll come to China to see more Chinese paper cuts one day.

　　Best wishes

　　話題二十一：自然

　　1、根據(jù)提示寫一篇80－100字左右的短文，說明樹木對于人類的重要性。

　　提示：1. 樹木可以美化環(huán)境(beautify the environment)，有助于凈化空氣，有益于身心健康。

　　2．木材有許多用途，不但可用于建筑，還可用于制造許多其他的東西。例如，我們家中的許多東西都是木制的。

　　3．我們應廣植樹和保護樹木，嚴禁亂砍濫伐，以保持生態(tài)平衡(the balance of nature)。

　　參考例文：

　　Trees can beautify the environment and help to make the dirty air clean. It also will be good for our health. It can not only be used for building houses and making paper, but also can be used to make many other things. For example, many things in our houses are made of wood. So we must plant more trees and mustn't cut down trees. We must try to keep the balance of nature.

　　Dear Iris,

　　Thank you for your concern about the heavy snow that has swept across many parts of China including Anhui since mid-January. Actually,it's the worst snow disaster in our country.Railway and freeway traffic has been paralyzed,making the family reunion of many people in the Spring Festival impossible.Some of the electricity facilities were destroyed,which caused huge losses to the national economy.Besides,electricity shortage has been there because the severe weather made the production and transportion of coal difficult.To make matters worse,in some places have been suffered power failures.The snow caused great inconvenience to their life.

　　Luckily,effective measures have already been taken by our government,but fighting the snow disaster is not something left to our government alone.As citizens,we have done our own little bits.First,we have helped remove the snow from roads and streets.Then we have saved as much electricity as possible by turning off the air conditions and so on.And last but not least,we have taken good care of those families with only the old and young at home.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Hua
