Whenever he had a problem, he would say ”I don’t understand Chinese” and take out a card carrying his name and workplace, both written in Chinese.

My biology teacher，Mr.Kwak，divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(选择)and how birds find food．

26、   My 10-year-old granddaughter was happy the day before yesterday because her mother took her and her friend to a park to celebrate Children’s Day. For a whole day, the two girls played heartily---no homework, no extra-curricular (课外) skills training. The happy life lasted only for one day. Yesterday, everything returned to normal: doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English and “Olympic maths” courses.

Every time I went to my daughter’s house in the evening, I saw her sitting by the small desk in the room doing her homework. On the wall behind the desk are some words she wrote. One sentence reads: “Why is the exercise endless?” Poor girl!

All the workers shouted at him. Einstein was very confused(困惑的). “Sir, are you leading me the w【5】 way?” he asked.

“Think a【6】it,” Minkevsky said. “Can’t you see? Only the new concrete road surface can l【7】 deep footprints. The old road surface has been hard for a long time. Many people leave steps on the old road. You cannot find your footprint there.” Hearing that, Einstein thought for a long time and nodded.

After ______ me off, the driver had picked up another ______ who started walking off with my bag. The driver remembered ______ that she didn’t have any bag when she got in.
