Dear Tom ，
How is everything going with you?
I’m terribly sorry that I’m not able to go to your birthday party this Saturday
afternoon.I’m in Beijing now because my mother is seriously ill and will have an operation
here.She is badly in need of my care these days，so I’m staying here to take care of her in the
hospital.
I wish you a happy birthday and hope everything will go well with the party.By the way，I
have sent you the latest CD of Xu Song.I hope you’ll like this birthday present.
I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours ，
Li Hua
Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
They’d been planning this forever.From her birth，most likely.Mya’s mother，Helena
loved hosting parties.And Aunt Beatrice loved birthdays.Together，they’d make her Sweet
Sixteen a hundred times bigger，bolder，and brighter than it needed to be.They selected a themeevery year and stuck to it.Her fourteenth had been the “Snow White” and her ninth had been the
“Frozen”．They never told her what the theme was the day before.She’d just wake up her
birthday morning，a brand-new birthday outfit(一套服装) laid neatly on her dresser (an outfit
related to the theme，of course) and she would open her door to see the adventure that lay ahead of
her that day.
Mya had a few guesses as to what this year’s theme would be.A play on the words “Sweet
Sixteen” was likely—a candy themed party，perhaps？But she’d had a baking party a few
years before—and Helena was anything but repetitive.Mya didn’t have any interest in cars，so
she doubted a sports-car party was on the menu.She’d tried to look through her mother’s
purchase history online，but her mother had been careful enough to delete everything recent.So the
only clue left was the birthday outfit she would receive the next morning.
May 1st，Mya woke.The bright sunlight begged her eyes to open and she loved the day that
her birthday took place.It was always nice out on May 1st and it never rained.This morning was no
different than her previous birthdays.She sat up in her bed and looked to her dresser before slipping
out of bed and inspecting the outfit.She unfolded it and held it against her body，seeing how it was
like.It reached down，just above the ankle.Mya dressed，eyed herself in the mirror and found it
was not so much a pretty outfit as she had received before.It was totally one for blue-collar
workers!
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Suddenly，her thoughts were interrupted by a knock.
With everything done，her face shone with a sweet smile.

Suddenly，her thoughts were interrupted by a knock.Helena walked in.“What is my birthday
theme this year，Mum？” Mya asked.“Labor！” Helena answered in a firm voice.“But I
was expecting a party！” her voice sounded shaky.Oh，how could she forget she was born on
Labor’s Day！Mya’s feet brought her small steps to follow Helena to the van.On arriving at a
farm，she noticed the vast land of wheat spreading over the horizon that made a splendid view
itself.Their job was to remove the weeds.
With everything done，her face shone with a sweet smile.Several drops of sweat traced a path
on her red and pink cheeks and she turned to Helena：“This is not bad，Mum and I feel I’ve
grown up enough to help you with something.”Helena pulled Mya into her arms and planted a big
kiss on her forehead.The sun in May was shining brighter than ever like a fire ball.Picturing the
good harvest of this year，they hit the road with a happy birthday song echoing in the van.
