Sometimes it is impossible to deliver（投递）all the mail that arrives at the post office. Perhaps there is an mailing address and there is no return address. The post office cannot just the mail, so it becomes “dead mail”. Dead mail is to one of the U.S. Post Service’s in Atlanta, New York, and San Francisco. Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.
There the workers of the dead mail offices have ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages, expecting that something will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen. However, all of this mail cannot simply be forever; there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail comes together, the dead mail offices hold public auctions (拍卖). Every three months, some people who are are invited to the offices with objects found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the bidder (出价者).

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory(记忆力) works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault, But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found that some people can’t hear or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they can not write them down in a little book. They have to remember days, names ,songs and stories. So their memory is the whole time being exercised.

What must you do when you receive a present for your birthday? You have to sit down and write a thank-you note. The word “thanks” is very important. We have to use them very often. We say them when someone gives us drink, helps us to pick up things, hands us a letter or lends us a book. It is rude to ask someone to do something without saying “please”. We have to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book or a pencil, more rice or help. We have to use “please” to make request pleasant.
We have to learn to say “sorry”, too. When we have hurt someone, we’ll have to go up and say we’re sorry. When we have forgotten something, we will say “sorry”. We can make people forget wrong by saying it.
These three words are simple but important. Our children must learn to use them. They are pleasing words to use in any language.
