Did you know that what you think you like and don’t like is often the result of false beliefs? As humans, we tend to be ____41____ (easy) influenced when it comes to liking or disliking something, and we’re happy to have our existing beliefs confirmed.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Mr Wilson,

Thank you for the wonderful service in your hotel and your advice on sightseeing around London. I’m writing to see if I could ask you a favor.

I realized when I got home that I had left my glasses behind. They have gold frames, and are in a black case, which has my name and address written on the inside. I think I must have left them on the bedside table on the day I left. If you manage to find my glasses, could you please post them to my home address? Of course, I will pay for the postage.

Please contact me if you have any problems with this matter, and once again, I would like to thank you for all your help.

Yours Sincerely,

Li Hua
