Lesson 22?A glass envelope
My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were traveling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post-office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

envelope
An?envelope?is something that envelops, or wraps around. It usually refers to the thing you stick a stamp on and snail mail.
In the early 1700s,?envelope, the noun for "wrapper," evolved from the French?enveloppe, meaning “to envelop.”?Envelopeis always a noun, unlike the verb?envelop?which means “to wrap, cloak.” Synonyms for?envelope?range from?casing?and?enclosure?to?pouch?and?sheath. Virginia Woolf said, “Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning.” She ditched hers by walking into a river with her pockets full of rocks.

1. 一旦陷入舒適區(qū)，就不想懂了哀军。因為相對其它任務(wù)來說仁堪，朗讀對我來說算是比較容易完成的任務(wù)了哮洽，但是我朗讀新概念的初衷是最好認(rèn)真掌握好文章，背一背弦聂，用一用鸟辅。所以氛什，做的還是太少。
