It wasn’t the first time that I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to the people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstandings (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Jenny a call andtell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man asked me if he could help me.“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married?”“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Jenny explained the misunderstandings to me.“Don’t worry,”she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first.

If I were ever given a chance, I would be able to give a lecture myself!”“Very well,” replied Einstein, “I’m going to Dartmouth College next week. They don’t know me. You can give the lecture as Einstein, and I’ll be Harry!”So Harry gave the lecture in Dartmouth College the next week while Einstein sat in the back row playing “driver” as Harry did before and having a short sleep. And people found nothing wrong about the lecture.Just as Harry was walking down from the podium (讲台), however, one of the listeners asked him a question about the theory on relativity (相对论).

Girls on the Run uses running to encourage girls from 8 to 13 to stay in physical shape. The group also holds after-school activities where girls learn good behavior.Nine-year-old Ela Kalra joined Girls on the Run at Washington InternationalSchool. “It’s really fun and it teaches you how you should care for others and what you should think about yourself,” Kalra said. “You shouldn’t be unkind to anybody else.” Ela is among 60,000 girls in 45 states who have joined the 10-week program. They also learn about nutrition and how to be confident.Molly Barker, a runner, founded (成立) Girls on the Run in the southern state of North Carolina. She says the girls discuss what she calls “the girl box”, society’s definition(定义) of how girls should look, act and feel. “There’s acertain appearance a girl should have; there’s a certain way a girl should act,” Barker said. “But the girls should learn that instead of trying to fit into it, they should be themselves. The girls discuss developing good behavior, such as caring about others, and avoiding negative behavior like using their strength or power to frighten or hurt someone who is weaker.”Each group carries out a service project. The girls at Washington International School are running and taking donations for a Washington-based group, Girls Gotta Run Foundation. The money is used to buy shoes for girls in Ethiopia who are training to be professional runners. And it also helps keep them in school.47. Who will be most likely to take part in Girls on the Run?A.
