Today, roller-skating is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making instruments. In his free time he liked to play the violin. Merlin was a man with many ideas and many dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an in
vitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller-skating. He rolled on, playing the violin. Then, with all eyes on him, Merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall.
The mirror broke into many pieces with a very loud noise. Nobody forgot Merlin's wonderful entrance after that.

Mona Lisa, the famous picture painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery(神秘) of her smile. "It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops," said Professor Livingstone. "It's because direct vision(视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows." However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.
Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was finally sold to France's King Francis I in 1519. In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War II, the French hid
the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.

Dear Cindy,
How are you? I had a great time last Monday, June2th, 2014. It was a traditional Chinese
festival 86 Dragon Boat Festival that day.
This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of the 87 Chinese poets. He killed himself
by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th of the lunar calendar (阳历), 278 BC. People there rowed the boats 88 him. But it was too late. They were very sad and then threw 89
into the river to feed the fishes so that they would stay away from his body.
90 then on, every year on this day, people enjoy _91 Zongzi which is made of rice with meat, eggs and so on. In the past we ate it only 92 a year, but now we regard it as our daily food. We can have it any time we like
.
Have you ever 93 the dragon boat race on TV? It is another important part of this
festival. Several teams row their dragon-shaped boats as 94 as they can. The first team to
reach the finish line wins.
If you have a plan to visit China next year, would 95 
like to spend this festival with us?
Best wishes !
Yours,
Shen
