Dear Nina,
Thanks for your e-mail. Yes, I am in Japan now.
Food can be very expensive in Japan. We learned this is the first time we went to get some food. As soon as we reached Osaka(大阪), we decided to look for a Japanese restaurant near the airport. We wanted to eat noodles, and we found a nice restaurant. The menu was easy to read because it was written in Japanese and English, with pictures of the food. However, I was shocked when I saw the prices. On the first page of the menu there were dishes for 8,000 yen and 12,000 yen. I even saw a dish for 23,000 yen. In other words, these dishes cost $80, $120, and $230. Luckily, the noodles we ordered were only 800 yen.
Prices for food can be high here, but they don’t have to be. We soon realized that there was a lot of excellent food in Japan at good prices. Some restaurants that sell noodles can have nice meals for between five or ten dollars. We can also have a nice cup of coffee for $5, but it’s also easy to find coffee or soft drinks at the train or subway stations for a little over $1.
Hope you are having a good time back home. By the way, how’s my cat?
Nancy

( )55.How much did the writer pay for the noodles she ate?

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house？How will you escape？Do you know how to save yourself？ Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family，such as stairways and fire escapes，but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings，escaping through windows is possible，learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course，it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked（渗） into the room.
On a second or third floor，the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement（水泥） might end in injury（受伤. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
