It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework, 41 newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see 42 do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful 43 she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked 44 she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:
I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite 45 . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world 46 you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as 47 you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to 48 . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at 49 tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.
Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to 50 the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

Dear Laura,

I wanted to do something very 37 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He worked all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 38 it looked almost new. I was so proud of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet(头盔)and a riding outfit(全套装备).
I could 39 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I couldn’t sleep the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to 40 the coffee, tea, and morning dishes. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 41 :” To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so surprised. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 42 lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s promise.
I stood there shocked(震惊的), crying a river, asking myself how my son could 43 this expensive gift.

Of course I was the proudest mother ever on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love is 46 present and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to 47 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
