话题八　人际交往 一、阅读理解 A When I finished a charity(慈善) event and was on the train back home, I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.

It went like this: Dear Julie, Ive been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for cooking beautiful and delicious food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary(周年纪念日). We talk about it every year. Thank you. We miss you.
