I am writing this letter to show my worries about the food my family and I were served at your restaurant two days ago.
My name is Rosemary Lane.I came with my family to your restaurant for my daughter's 13th birthday party.We ordered some food and drinks and the waiter promised that our meals would be ready in forty-five minutes.Though the meals were on time,when the soup was served,we found there was human hair in it.The main meals weren't any better,because our warm potato salads and other food were served cold.
For dessert（甜品），we ordered a big chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday.But we were served a small piece of cheese cake!At the end of this terrible experience,I was forced（被迫）to pay for the service I did not get.
So I ask for a full refund（退款）of the money I paid to your restaurant.At the same time,please make sure that your waiters pay attention to the food and service.I hope you can take these worries seriously and solve the problems quickly.
I am looking forward to your reply.Thank you.

6.（填空题，8分）Rainy days don't have to get you down,a happiness expert has claimed.
Paul Dolan,Professor of Behavioral Science at the London School of Economics,said that people only feel miserable in bad weather because they think about it too much.Studies have shown that people who live in warm,sunny climates are no happier than those in chilly,wet climates,he said.
So the British talking about the weather may be making us gloomier（沮丧的）than the weather itself.
He said： "A study was done that measured the happiness levels of people in California compared to the North West."
"They expected that people in California would be happier because it is sunnier,but they found that levels of happiness were exactly the same."
"If it is sunny every day you get used to it and the sunshine doesn't make you any happier."
"Most of the time the weather doesn't affect our well-being at all.But when we think about it,and think that it does,that's when we get miserable."
In his new book,Happiness By Design,Dolan argues that we can think ourselves happy by taking our attention away from what makes us sad.
"Most of our anxieties come from what might be," he argues. "If you want to be happier,pay attention to the things that make you feel good."
He also claimed that a problem shared was not always a problem halved（减半）.He claimed that humans are actually very good at being able to get over tragedy and loss.
Professor Dolan also admitted for the first time that he had a stammer（口吃），which had made his early life miserable.He claimed it only got better when he learned not to pay attention to his speech problem.
"Things are never as bad as you imagine them being," he said.
（1）What has the research found？ ___
A.British people don't like to chat about the weather.
B.Rainy days have no effect on people's mood.

D.Cold days make people feel less happy.
（2）What does the underlined word "miserable" in the second paragraph mean？ ___
A.Good.
B.Unhappy.
C.Cheerful.
D.Confident.
（3）What is Dolan's suggestion for being happy？ ___
A.Don't think too much about yourself.
B.Don't focus on what makes you sad.
C.Avoid comparing yourself with others.
D.Avoid doing many miserable things.
（4）What do we know about professor Dolan？ ___
A.Once,he couldn't speak fluently.
B.Once,he didn't want to share his problems with others.
C.He has a great ability to get over bad things.
D.He has written many books about happiness.
