26．Dear Sir/Madam，
①It is now common to go online in the home，yet a recent survey showed that ninety﹣five percent of parents do not know what websites their children visit．I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children．
②One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children's online activities．If they had a better understanding of the Internet，they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly．
③Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork．These days，a lot of homework needs to be done on computers．If parents have poor computer skills，they will be of little or no help with homework，it is clear that students，especially young students
④Improving parents' Internet and computer skills might also be a good way or parents to improve their relationships with their children．These days，children spend a lot of their free time on computers．If parents want to be part of that free time，they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity．Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap（代沟）
⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way，and so training is extremely important．
Yours faithfully．
Pat Chan

27．Once upon a time，there was a seed（种子）and because he was only a seed，feeling kind of inferior，the seed gave no importance to his own existence（存在）.

"It's hidden on islands，under dead trees，but mostly under the floors in haunted houses."
So，one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill.It was a quiet and lonely place，which made the boys feel very frightened.They entered quietly，but there was nothing there.They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.
"What is it？" whispered Huck，going white with fright.
"Keep quiet!There's someone downstairs."
The boys lay down，looking through the holes in the wooden floor.There were two men downstairs.One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant﹣looking.
Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said：
"It's time for us to move，partner.What will we do with the ＄650 from the robbery （抢劫）？"
"Let's keep ＄30 each and leave the bag here."
The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone.Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins.The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs.
Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.
"What is it？" asked the other man.
"It's a box，" said Indian Joe.And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins.The other man found the boys' tools，and they soon pulled out the box.
"There's thousands of dollars in there，" said Indian Joe.
"The Murrell Gang used this area one summer，" said his partner.
"They must have hidden their money here."
"What will we do with this，Joe？Will we bury （埋） it again？"
"No，someone might find it，" said Indian Joe.Let's bury it in the number two den."
Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left.They decided to watch out for the "man in the sombrero" when he came to town and find out where the number two den was.
