Dear Tom，
I’m so excited to write to you and tell you something about the outing in my summer holidays.
How did you spend your summer holidays？Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours，
I received a warm 1 from my host family—the Steins.Gena was my host mum，and her daughter Lily would also be a new 2at Phillips.They took me to the school and 3 me around the campus.
On our way to my dorm (学生宿舍)，we saw a huge truck delivering a student's 4to her room.Many students at the school were very rich，and they would fill their dorms with decorations (装饰物)．But I was 5not to because I thought it was a 6of time and money.
I had a single room，which was about the 7 of a Chinese college dorm—the one which normally holds six people.
8she helped carry my bags，Lily asked me，“What's your favourite9 ， Teresa？”
I thought for a moment before answering，“Orange.”
I didn't know why she had asked the question.
We 10 an introduction meeting after dinner.11 of the students were native English speakers，so I felt a little 12I returned to my room after the13 ，tired and wanting to go to bed after a(n)14day.
When I opened my door，I found a big 15.The bed was perfectly made with blankets and an orange sunflower pillow.On the 16was a sunflowerpattern mat (垫子) while a colorful lamp 17 beside the bed.
I opened my mouth，18. How beautiful!
There was also a 19 card. I touched the little pillow on the bed as I read the card. A warm current (暖流) rushed through my 20.
—I'm considering. It's hard to choose from.
People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune (免疫的) , for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middleaged persons as bad for the heart. But a wellknown British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a_steel_river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
