to one of two dark shelters. (Shore crabs like to hide in dark spaces.) Once they’ve made their choice, the crabs in one of the shelters were exposed to an electric shock. After a rest period, the crabs were returned to the lit tank. Most of the crabs went back into the dark shelters, and then the same crabs were given another electric shock. When they were placed back into the lit tank for the third time, the majority of the shocked crabs instead went to the other dark shelter, avoiding the one where they had repeatedly been given shocks.
As Elwood put it, the crab’s choice indicated that they wanted to escape the shocks: having experienced two rounds of shocks, the crabs learned to avoid the shelter where they received the shocks. They were willing to give up their hideaway in order to avoid the source of their probable pain.

Hearing that you are planning to drop out school, I am writing to persuade you not to do that.
To begin with, as a student, study comes firstly. Receive education at school at the present will have a long-lasting influence on our future. In addition, everyone met with difficulties and we must try our best to overcome it. That I need to mention is that there are many way to help you get through the present difficult situation.
Hopeful you will go on with your study, or I will try my best to help you.
Dear Tony,
How are you? Our English teacher asked us to read some authentic English novels in our spare time. Therefore, I'm writing to ask you to do me a favor and buy a few for me.
According to my English level, the language difficulty of the books should be moderate so that they won’t be too hard for me to understand. Also, I hope the content is appropriate for senior middle school students like me. What's more, I prefer novels, because they are both educational and fun. As for the price, it's not a problem and the cost of the books will be on me.
Please bring them to me when you come to China next month. Thank you very much. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours, Li Hua
