Dear professor Jackson:
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination you gave on Moby-Dick last Wednesday. I feel badly about it and want you to know what happened.
On my way to class that day,I had a flat tire,and I had to go with the mechanic when he repaired it. It took me more than one hour to get it done. A copy of the bill is enclosed.
I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation. I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make up examination. I will #e to your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you. Once again,I''m sorry fro any inconvenience caused.
Sincerely yours,
Alice
Yesterday was Father's Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn't remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I
got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.
What a wonderful surprise!
Dear Dad,
Today is father’s day, for so many years I’ve been seekig a way to express my heartfelt thanks for all you have done for me. Here comes it!
Thank you for always being there sharing my life when I need you most. Whenever I encounter difficulties, I never feel alone and vulnerable, because you will keep me on the right path. I’m blessed to have you.
Thank you for offering me education and teaching me how to be a man. You always inspire me not by words, but by what you have done! Your efforts in the work, your loyalty to your friends, your responsibility for the family and your persistence in the life have already set me good examples in my own life.
Thank you for always appreciating my work, no matter how tiny it is! You have made me realize that it’s capacity not scores that really counts.
Dad, I love you and I will love you forever!

dear david:
i am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered your letter dated 7, december sooner, but when i have told you the reason, i trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. when your letter arrived, i was just in hong kong. as my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when i took it up. now the first thing i have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret.
i enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. i shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when i see you next.
sincerely yours,
tom

这本书从家庭、教育、宗教三个维度来阐述文化和结构对我们的影响。
对于家庭而言,现代社会最大的改变就是,工作已经脱离家庭转入公共经济领域,学校取代了家庭发挥越来越重要的社会化角色作用。现在,家庭正在变得日益私人化。
从社会学的角度来说,更关注家庭的功能而不是家庭是什么来定义家庭。建立在爱情和情感基础上的后现代家庭,有别于历史上的制度家庭、伙伴家庭,承载着两个主要的功能:社会联络功能和个人需要功能。社会联络功能涉及家庭和社会的关系:我们通过家庭传承社会地位,和谁组建新的家庭,在家庭中学会语言、与人交往甚至基础的生活技能。例如,不同家庭类型的人,对于“长大后我想成为怎样的人”而不同。非洲酋长家的孩子也许是做个好的酋长,家族企业的继承人更大概率去考虑如何运营企业,而普通家庭的孩子,则是在思考“如何找个好工作”。
而个人需要功能包括家庭成员的生理需要和情感需要。历史上,存在过通过多生孩子来提高家庭生产力,从而得到更多的生活用品。而现代,家庭已经能够满足我们的基础需要,并且生孩子在时间和金钱上的花费,越来越高昂,正如我们所看到的,发达国家的生育率越来越低。
像我们父母一辈的,很少将家庭事务如带孩子、清洁卫生、收拾屋子外包,家庭甚至通过像一起聚餐、一起打扫卫生来实现家庭情感的沟通。而后现代社会,由于工作日益影响家庭生活的投入,我们不得不面临很多的问题:如何兼顾工作和家庭。因此,我们看到组织家庭的方式都在发生剧变,而这一切都是不可避免。
教育更是影响我们的机会和选择。作者作为一个大学教授,直言不讳的指出:教育能力可以克制资源获取上的差异,同时也掩盖了我们丧失机会的程度,并由此帮助维持了现状。简单的说,从小沉浸在大学教授家庭的孩子比普通家庭里的孩子更容易理解认知策略中的概率论。
周末,我来到玄武湖公园,毕竟这里是秋姑娘定下的地点。一进门,我的眼神就“唰”地一下漂移到了荷花上。它们此刻已经没有了夏日的.粉嫩,连同曾经碧绿的荷叶也一同低下了头,仿佛在反省自己的过错。走到湖边,望着那被绿藻淹没的岸边一角,我清晰地记得,在夏天这里还有小鱼、小螺蛳,可如今却不见了踪影,就像从来没有出现过一般。这一湖秋水因此而也显得倍加寂静。“也许这就是所谓“悲秋”的由来吧!”我缓缓地向公园深处走去。
林荫小道上,虽然同是秋,可这里的景致却与荷花池大大不同了。我跑到一丛灌木前,它已被染上了金黄色,与荷叶的土褐色形成了强烈的对比。有几片叶子从灌木上飘落,我不禁捡起一片叶子,细细观察起来:它有着锯齿状的边缘,细细的叶脉上微微泛起一丝亮丽的金黄。我将它轻轻地放入衣袋,经过季节更替的熏陶,它从春日那一片小小的嫩芽,变成了一件金黄的艺术品,这也许是秋姑娘赠与我的礼物之一吧!我抬起头来,整个林荫道也发生了变化——它从夏日的深绿变成了秋日的金黄。远远望去,仿佛通向世界的尽头。几片叶子从树上落下,在空中玩起了孙悟空的把戏,接连好几个后空翻,这才愿意与其它落叶同伴待在一起。看来秋也是有法力的魔法师啊!
秋,是寂静的;秋,是美丽的;秋,是充满情趣的。此刻,我正在拨弄着秋天的礼物,这令我忽然明白,也许,这本来就是秋姑娘这个可爱名字的来源吧!
嘘,别吵我,悄悄告诉你,其实秋姑娘邀我去与她玩耍呢!
