A glass envelope
課文內(nèi)容：
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.

我的女兒簡從未想過會接到荷蘭一位同齡姑娘的來信。去年，當(dāng)我們橫渡英吉利海峽時，簡把寫有她姓名和住址的一張紙條裝進了一只瓶子，又將瓶子扔進了大海。此后她就再沒去想那只瓶子。但10個月以后，她收到了荷蘭一位姑娘的來信?，F(xiàn)在這兩位姑娘定期通信了。然而她們還是決定利用郵局。這樣會稍微多花點錢，但肯定是快得多了。
