At the end of a party，he invited her to have coffee with him．In a nice coffee shop，he was too nervous to say anything，and she felt uncomfortable，thinking，“Please let me go home．’’
Suddenly he asked the waiter，“Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee．’’
Everybody，stared at him—so strange! His face turned red，but，still，he put the salt in his coffee and drank it．
She asked him curiously，“Why do you have this hobby?”
He replied，“When I was a little boy，I was living near the sea．I liked playing in the sea，and I could feel the taste of the sea，just like the taste of the salty coffee．Now every time I have the salty coffee，I always think of my childhood．I miss my hometown and my parents so much．’’
She was deeply touched．A man who can tell out his-homesickness must be a man who loves home，cares about home，and has responsibility for home．
They continued to date．She found that actually he was such a good person，but she almost missed him!
Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story went just like every beautiful love story．．．And，every time she made coffee for him，she put some salt in the coffee．
After 40 years，he passed away，leaving her a letter which said，“My dearest，please forgive my whole life lie．This was the only lie I told to you—the salty coffee．
“Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time．Actually I wanted some sugar，but I said salt．It was hard for me to change，so I just went ahead．
“I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life，but I was too afraid to do that，as I have promised not to lie to you for anything．
“Now I'm dying，I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth：I don’t like the salty coffee．What a strange bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee in my whole life!…”
Her tears made the letter totally wet．Someday，someone asked her，“What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet.” she replied．

閱讀下面短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Lots of teenagers are trying to enter a university by coping stories and phrases from the internet to fill out their personal statements in Britain. Personal statements are used to show what can make applicants （申請）different as they outline their interests and reasons for studying a particular course. But it seems that some ideas and words are alike, even the same, thanks to an internet site designed to help those who don’t know what to write about themselves. A study found that nearly 800 applications had personal statements containing phrases taken from three online examples. The study, which involved examining 50,000 personal statements, found that 5% used the material from the internet, most from one free website. Borrowed material was most likely to appear at the end of a statement or where the applicant described the reasons for wanting to study a subject. Almost all applications are now completed online, but the new evidence of Internet temptation（誘惑）follow concern that teenagers are cutting and pasting material for A-level coursework(課程作業). A spokesman said later that he and his partners were looking for ways examine whether people appeared to be copying material.
