The manager of the office asked him how old his parents were when they died.“Mother had a bad heart and died at the age of thirty. Father died of tuberculosis when he was thirty-five.”“I am very sorry,”said the manager,“we cannot insure your life as your parents were not healthy.”As the man was leaving the office, depressed, he met a clerk, who had overheard the conversation.“You must not be so frank and tell the truth,”said the clerk,“no office will insure you if you speak like that. Use your imagination a little.”The man went to another office and was shown into the manager's room.“Well, young man, how old were your parents when they died?”“Mother was ninety-three, and she died from a fall off her bicycle.

初中英语阅读理解趣味练习——Rainbow serpent

Aboriginal Dreamtime Stories –The Rainbow SerpentIn the Dreamtime all earth lay sleeping. Nothing moved. Nothing grew. One day the Rainbow Serpent awoke from her sleep and came out from under the ground.She travelled far and wide and grew tired and curled up and slept. She left marks of her sleeping body and her winding tracks. Then she returned to the place where she had first appeared, and called to the frogs, “Come out!”The frogs came out slowly because their bellies were full with water. The Rainbow serpent tickled their stomachs and when the frogs laughed, water ran all over the earth to fill the tracks of where the Rainbow serpent had moved before. This is how lakes and rivers were formed.With water, grass and trees grew. Also, all animals awoke and followed the rainbow serpent across the land. They were happy on earth and each lived and found food with his own tribe. Some animals live in rocks, others on the plains and others in trees and in the air.The Rainbow Serpent made laws that they all were to obey, but some began to fight and argue and make trouble. The Rainbow Serpent said,” Those who keep my laws will be rewarded; I shall make them human. Those who break my laws will be punished and turned to stone, never to walk the earth again.The lawbreakers became stone and turned to mountains and hills, but those who kept the laws were turned into people. The Rainbow Serpent gave each of them their own totem of the animal, bird or reptile from where they came. The tribes knew themselves by their totems. Some totems were kangaroo, emu, carpet snake, and many more. So no one would starve, the Rainbow Serpent ruled that no man should eat of his totem, but only animals of other totems. This way there was food for everyone.The tribes lived together on the land given to them by the Rainbow Serpent and knew the land would always be theirs, and no one should ever take it from them .Questions Try to answer using sentences with Capitals and Full stops.1.

新译林9AUNIT1英语课外趣味阅读及练习题课外趣味阅读复活节(Easter)在多数西方国家(western countries)里，复活节一样要举行盛大的宗教(religion)游行(parade)。

游行者身穿长袍(robe)，手持十字架(Latin Cross)，赤足前进。

他们打扮成基督教(Christianism)历史人物，唱着颂歌(canticle)欢庆耶稣复活(revival)。

现在节日游行已失去旧日浓厚的宗教色彩。

节日游行洋溢着喜庆的气氛，具有浓郁的民间(folk)特色和地址(local)特色。

在美国，游行队伍中即有身穿牛仔服(Jeans Wear)踩高跷的(stilted)小丑，也有活泼可爱的卡通人物米老鼠(Mickey Mouse)。

在英国，游行多以介绍本地的历史和风土人情(local conditions and customs)为主，游行者扮装成(make up)为苏格兰风笛(Bagpipe)乐队(band)和皇宫卫士，吸引了众多的游客。

复活节的到来还令人们纷纷换上新衣。

过去基督教教徒会在节前去教堂行洗礼(baptism)，然后穿上自己的新袍，庆贺基督的新生。

穿着一新的风俗保留至今，因为人们以为节日里不穿新衣是要倒运的。

复活节期间，人们还喜爱完全打扫自己的住处，表示新生活从此开始。

英语趣味阅读100篇1Ali, who was working a long way from home, wanted to send a letter to his wife, but he could neither read nor write, and he had to workall day, so he could only look for somebody to write his letter lateat night. At last he found the house of a letter-writer whose name was Nasreddin.Nasreddin was already in bed. "It is late," he said. "What do you want?" "I want you to write a letter to my wife," said Ali. Nasreddinwas not pleased. He thought for a few seconds and then said, "Has the letter got to go far?""What does that matter?" answered Ali."Well, my writing is so strange that only I can read it, and if Ihave to travel a long way to read your letter to your wife, it willcost you a lot of money."Ali went away quickly.2An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly spent all the money, so that soon he had nothing left. Of course, when that happened, all his friends lefthim. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Nasreddin, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles."My money has finished and my friends have gone," said the young man. "What will happen to me now?""Don't worry, young man," answered Nasreddin. "Everything will soon be all right again. Wait, and you will soon feel much happier."The young man was very glad. "Am I going to get rich again then?" he asked Nasreddin."No, I didn't mean that," said the old man. "I meant that youwould soon get used to being poor and to having no friends."3When Mr Jones went to restaurant one day, he left his coat nearthe door. There was nothing in the pockets of the coat when he left it,so he was very surprised when he took his coat after his meal and found the pockets full of jewelry!There was a waiter near the door, so Mr. Jones said to him, "Somebody has made a mistake. He has put some jewelry in my coat. Take it, and when he comes back, give it to him." The waiter took itand went away. Suddenly another man came in with a coat just like Mr. Jones's. "I am sorry," said this man. "I make a mistake. I took yourcoat and you have got mine. Please give me my coat and jewelry." Mr.Jones answered, "I gave the jewelry to the waiter. He will give it to you."Mr. Jones called the manager of the restaurant; but the manager said, "We have no waiters here. We only have waitresses." "You gave the jewelry to a thief!" shouted the other man. "I shall call thepolice!" Mr. Jones was frightened and paid the man a lot of money for the jewelry.4A man was travelling abroad in a small red car. One day he leftthe car and went shopping. When he came back, its roof was badly damaged.Some boys told him that an elephant had damaged it. The man did not believe them, but they took him to circus which was near there. The owner of the elephant said, "I am very sorry! My elephant has a big,round, red chair. He thought that your car was his chair, and hesat on it!" Then he gave the man a letter, in which he said that hewas sorry and that he would pay for all the damage.When the man got back to his own country, the customs officers would not believe his story. They said, "You sold your new car while you were abroad and bought this old one!"It was only when man showed them the letter from the circus man that they believed him.5Nasreddin was cutting a branch off a tree in his garden. While he was sawing, another man passed in the street. He stopped and said, "Excuse me, but if you continue to saw that branch like that, you willfall down with it." He said this because Nasreddin was sitting on the branch and cutting it at a place between himself and the trunk of the tree.Nasreddin said nothing. He thought, "This is some foolish person who has no work to do and goes about telling other people what to do and what not to do."The man continued on his way.Of course, after a few minutes, the branch fell and Nasreddinfell with it."My God!" he cried. "That man knows the future!" and he ran after him to ask how long he was going to live. But the man had gone.6It was half-past eight in the morning. The telephone bell rang and Mary went to answer it."Hullo, who's that?" she asked."It's me, Peter."Peter was a friend of Mary's eight-year-old brother, Johnny."Oh, hullo, Peter. What do you want?" said Mary."Can I speak to Johnny?""No," said Mary, "you can't speak to him now. He is busy. He is getting ready for school. He is eating his breakfast. Grandmother is combing his hair. Sister is under the table, putting his shoes on.Mother is getting his books and putting them in his school bag. Goodbye,I've got to go now. I have to hold the door open. The school bus is coming."7Two rich ladies were sharing a taxi and talking about the high costof going anywhere by taxi.One of the ladies said, "Taxis are terribly expensive these days.The owners get a lot of money for nothing.""Yes," said the other lady, "and the drivers get such big tips thatthey soon become rich. They ought to be ashamed of themselves."One of the ladies was smoking a cigarette. After a minute or twoshe said to the other lady, "Can you see an ashtray in this taxi? Thereisn't one on my side."The driver, who had heard everything the ladies had said, answered, "Oh, just drop the ashes on the carpet─I have a servant who comes inand cleans three days in the week!"8Nasreddin put two big baskets of grapes on his donkey and went to market. At midday it was very hot, so he stopped in the shade of a big tree. There were several other men there, and all of them had donkeysand baskets of grapes too. After their lunch they went to sleep. Aftersome time, Nasreddin began to take grapes out of the other men'sbaskets and to put them in his.Suddenly one of the men woke up and saw him. "What are you doing?" he said angrily."Oh," said Nasreddin, "don't worry about me. I am half mad, and Ido a lot of strange things.""Oh, really?" said the other man. "Then why don't you sometimes take grapes out of your baskets and put them in somebody else's baskets?""You did not understand me," said Nasreddin. "I said that I was half mad, not quite mad."9There was a big garden near Nasreddin's house, and it had a lot offruit trees in it. One day Nasreddin saw some beautiful apples on one of them. He went home and got a ladder, put it against the high wall of thegarden and climbed up. Then he pulled the ladder up, put it down on the other side, and climbed down into the garden. Just then a gardener came round a corner and saw him."What are you doing here?" he shouted.Nasreddin thought quickly and then said, "I am selling my ladder.""Selling your ladder? In somebody else's garden? Do you think I believe such a stupid story?" said the gardener and came towards Nasreddin with a stick."It is my ladder," said Nasreddin, "and I can sell it where I like.You needn't buy it if you don't want to." And he took his ladder and climbed over the wall again.10Nasreddin woke up in the middle of the night and saw something white in his garden. It seemed to be moving towards the house."That is a thief!" he thought, and he took his gun and shot at him. Then he went back to bed, because he was too frightened to go out of the house in the dark.The next morning Nasreddin went out and saw one of his white shirts hanging on the clothes-line in the garden. His wife had washed it theday before and hung it out to dry. Now it had a bullet-hole rightthrough the middle of it."My God," said Nasreddin, "I was lucky last night. If I had been wearing that shirt, the bullet would have killed me!" And he calledhis neighbours together and asked them to thank God for saving him.11A judge was working in his room one day when a neighbour ran in and said, "If one man's cow kills another's, is the owner of the first cow responsible?""It depends," answered the judge."Well," said the man. "your cow has killed mine.""Oh," answered the judge. "Everyone knows that a cow cannot think like a man, so a cow is not responsible, and that means that its owneris not responsible either.""I am sorry, Judge," said the man. "I made a mistake. I meant thatmy cow killed yours."The judge thought for a few seconds and then said, "When I think about it more carefully, this case is not as easy as I thought atfirst." And then he turned to his clerk and said, "Please bring me thatbig black book from the shelf behind you."12When Nasreddin was a boy, he never did what he was told, so hisfather always told him to do the opposite of what he wanted him to do.One day, when the two were bringing sacks of flour home on their donkeys, they had to cross a shallow river. When they were in the middle of it, one of the sacks on Nasreddin's donkey began to slip, so hisfather said, "That sack is nearly in the water! Press down hard on it!"His father of course expected that he would do the opposite, butthis time Nasreddin did what his father had told him to do. He pressed down on the sack and it went under the water. Of course, the flour was lost."What have you done, Nasreddin?" his father shouted angrily."Well, Father", said Nasreddin, "this time I thought that I woulddo just what you told me, to show you how stupid your orders always are."13Nasreddin had lost his donkey. He was going about looking for it everywhere, and while he was looking, he was singing gaily.One of his neighbours saw him and said, "Hullo, Nasreddin. What are you dong?"I am looking for my donkey," answered Nasreddin."Don't you know where it is?" asked the neighbour."No, I don't.""Then why are you singing so gaily? Usually when somebody loses something, he is sad.""Yes, that is quite true," answered Nasreddin. "But you see, I amnot yet sure that my donkey is lost. My last hope is that it is behindthat hill over there. If you wait a little, you will hear how I willcry and complain if it is not there!"14One winter Nasreddin had very little money. His crops had been very bad that year, and he had to live very cheaply. He gave his donkey less food, and when after two days the donkey looked just the same, he saidto himself, "The donkey was used to eating a lot. Now he is quickly getting used to eating less; and soon he will get used to living onalmost nothing."Each day Nasreddin gave the donkey a little less food, until itwas hardly eating anything.Then one day, when the donkey was going to market with a load of wood on its back, it suddenly died. "How unlucky I am," said Nasreddin. "Just when my donkey had got used to eating hardly anything, it came to the end of its days in this world."15Nasreddin's wife was very ill, and at last she died. After a few months, Nasreddin married again. His new wife was a widow.Exactly seven days after he married her, she had a baby.Nasreddin at once hurried away to the market and bought some paper, some pencils, some pens and some children's books. Then he hurried back home again with these things and put them beside the baby. His new wife was surprised. "What are you doing?" she said. "The baby won't be ableto use those things for a long time. Why are you in such a hurry?"Nasreddin answered, "You are quite wrong, my dear. Our baby is not an ordinary baby. It came in seven days instead of nine months, so itwill certainly be ready to learn to read and write in a few weeks from now".16One of Nasreddin's neighbours had been abroad for many years, and during that time he had travelled in many strange places. When he came back home after many years, his old friends and neighbours listened tothe old man's stories about foreign countries and strange people, and found them very interesting."Do you know," the old man said, "in one country which I visited where the climate is very hot all the year, nobody wears any clothesat all!"Nasreddin loved a joke, so he said at once, "Oh, is that so? Thenhow do you know whether somebody is a man or a woman in the country?"17Some of Nasreddin's old friends were talking about the young people in their town. They all agreed that old people were wiser than young people. Then one of the old men said, "But young men are stronger than old men."All of them agreed that this was true, except Nasreddin. He said, "No. I am as strong now as when I was a young man.""What do you mean?" said his friends. "How is that possible? Explain yourself!""Well," said Nasreddin, "in one corner of my field there is a rock. When I was a young man I used to try to move it, but I couldn't becauseI was not strong enough. I am an old man now, and when I try to move it, I still cannot."18One day a beautiful young lady went to a famous artist and said,"I want you to paint a picture of me. How much will it cost?""Five hundred pounds," said the artist."Oh?" said the lady. "That is a lot of money." Then she thoughtthat, as she had a very beautiful body, the artist might be happy topaint her picture more cheaply if she wore no clothes while he was painting it. So she said, "And how much will it cost if you paint me without any clothes on?"The artist thought for a moment. "One thousand pounds," he then said. "But I shall have to keep my socks on, because my feet get cold;and I shall have to wear something to put my brushes in."19Henry and Mary had just got married, and everybody was enjoying their wedding party. There was plenty to eat and plenty to drink, and everybody was getting very merry, when a very thin, very young man came into the room. He looked at Mary sadly and accusingly, walked slowly towards her, kissed her lovingly and said, "Why did you do it?"Then he walked to the door and disappeared.Nobody had ever seen the young man before-not even Mary.20The Second World War had begun, and John wanted to join the army, but he was only 16 years old, and boys were allowed to join only if they were over 18. So when the army doctor examined him, he said that hewas 18.But John's brother had joined the army a few days before, and the same doctor had examined him too. This doctor remembered the older boy's family name, so when he saw John's papers he was surprised."How old are you?" he said."Eighteen, sir," said John."But your brother was eighteen, too," said the doctor. "Are you twins?""Oh, no, sir," said John, and his face went red. "My brother is five months older than I am."21One day a big ship hit a smaller ship while they were both goingfrom England to America. The smaller ship was badly damaged, and hadto be taken back to England, where a judge had to decide who was to blame for the accident.Several of the people who had seen the big ship hit the smallerone said that, a few seconds before the accident, the big ship hadsent a signal to the smaller one. The judge was puzzled b y this, sohe said, "Who sent this signal?"A young signalman came forward and said, I did, sir.""Oh?" said the judge. "And what signal did you send to the other ship?"The young signalman's face went red as he answered, "Good luck on your voyage."22Mr. Jones was very fond of climbing mountains, so one year he went to Switzerland for his holidays. After he had climbed some easy mountains, he decided one day to climb a more difficult one; but he did not want to go up it alone, so he found a good Swiss guide, who hadoften climbed that mountain.At first it was not a difficult climb, but then they came to a place which was not so easy. The guide stopped, turned round and warned Mr. Jones. "Be careful here," he said. "This is a dangerous place. You can easily fall, and if you do, you will fall straight down a very longway. But," he continued calmly, "if you do fall here, don't forget tolook to the right while you are going down. There is a quite extraordinarily beautiful view there─much more beautiful than theone you can see from here."23A young father was visiting an older neighbour. They were standing in the older man's garden and talking about children. The young man said, "How strict should parents be with their children?"The older man pointed to a string between a big strong tree anda thin, young one."Please untie that string," he said. The young man untied it, andthe young tree bent over to one side."Now tie it again, please," said the older man. "But first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again."The young man did this. Then the older man said, "There. It is the same with children. You must be strict with them, but sometimes you must untie the string to see how they are getting on. If they are notyet able to stand alone, you must tie the string tight again. But whenyou find that they are ready to stand alone, you can take the string away."24Mrs Smith was looking out of her window, when she saw a truck and a big car hit each other. She ran out to help. There was only one manin the truck and one woman in the car, and neither of them was hurt,but the car was damaged.The lady looked very white and her hands were shaking, so Mrs Smith invited her into her house and gave her some tea. She was a pleasant woman of about 50 years old. She drank the tea and soon looked much better. Then she said to Mrs Smith, "Have you got a telephone, please?I would like to telephone my husband. We have a kind of custom─whenever I have an accident with the car, I telephone him."25The zoo had big baskets for rubbish, where people who bought ice- creams and other things could throw the papers from them. One Saturday afternoon Mr Brown was walking near the cages where the lions andtigers were kept. Usually there were a lot of people round these cageson a Saturday afternoon, but that day there was nobody there. Mr Brown was surprised. But he was even more surprised when he saw a crowd around the rubbish basket near the lions' cage.He went towards the crowd. Most of them were children. He looked over their heads and saw─a little mouse, which was running aboutamong the pieces of paper in the basket and looking for bits of food.It was only a few centimetres from the children, but it was notafraid─and the children were more interested in this small, common mouse than in the lions and tigers.26One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor. Shewas very afraid of mice, so she ran out of the house, got in a bus andwent down to the shops. There she bought a mouse-trap. The shopkeeper said to her, "Put some cheese in it, and you will soon catch that mouse."The lady went home with her mouse-trap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in it. She did not want to goback to the shops, because it was very late, so she cut a picture ofsome cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap.Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful! Whenthe lady came down to the kitchen the next morning, there was a pictureof a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!27When Nasreddin's first wife died, he married again. His second wife was much younger than he was and they often quarrelled. One evening when Nasreddin came home very late, his wife said to him, "I cooked your dinner two house ago. It is quite spoiled now." She was so angry thatshe gave him a push, and as she was strong, and he was old and weak, he fell down the stairs.One of Nasreddin's neighbours, who was always eager to know what was happening in everybody else's house, was listening, and when she heard the noise that Nasreddin made when he fell down the stairs, she came to his front door and knocked."What has happened?" she said."My coat fell down the stairs," he answered."But a coat would not make so much noise!" the neighbour said."Of course it would," answered Nasreddin, "if I was inside it!"28One of Nasreddin's rich neighbours gave a big party one evening,but he forgot to invite him. Nasreddin waited and waited, but no invitation came, so at last, when the party had already begun, he tooka piece of paper, folded it, put it in an envelope and took it to his neighbour's house."I have a very important letter for the host," he said to theservants at the door. The servants took him into the big room where everybody was eating, Nasreddin gave the letter to his rich neighbourand at once sat down and began to fill his mouth with food.The host looked at the envelope, but there was nothing on it, sohe said, "Are you sure that this letter is for me? There is no addresson it.""Oh, yes," said Nasreddin, "and there is no writing inside iteither─because it was prepared in a hurry."29One evening there was a big dance at the hotel in our town. One of the guests at the dance was a man of about forty who thought he was so handsome that every girl who saw him would fall in love with him. Atthe beginning of one of the dances, he saw a pretty young woman who was standing beside an older lady at the edge of the dance-floor. He wentup to the girl and asked her to dance. She had seen him dancing before,so she knew that he was a good dancer, and as she too liked dancing,she accepted.After they had danced several dances together, the man led her into the garden and said, "Do you tell your mother everything that you do?""Of course not," she answered sweetly. "She does not mind what Ido now. But my husband always wants to know!"30John liked to wear his hair very long. Some of his friends thought thatit looked like a girl's hair, but they never made jokes about it,because John was a big, strong young man and he did not think jokes about his hair funny.John always went to the barber's twice a month to have his haircut and washed, and one day the barber said to him, "Now why don't you let me cut most of this hair off and make your head tidy? Nobody would recognize you if I did that, I am sure."John said nothing for a few seconds, and then he said, "Perhaps you are right─but I am sure that nobody would recognize you either if you did that to my hair."31On Saturday mornings our cinema shows films for children. One such morning an old man took his grandchildren to the cinema. At the door there was a list of the prices of tickets, but he could not see anyprice for tickets for adults for Saturday mornings. The only pricewhich was shown for that time was for children's tickets, so he asked the lady who was selling the tickets how much it was for adults."Adults!" she said. "No, we don't have prices for tickets for adultsfor our Saturday morning films. Any adult who is brave enough to go in there to see films like that─and with all those children─can go infree!"32A small talking dog was a big success when it came to our theatre.It told jokes, sang songs and did a lot of other funny things on the stage.But while it was singing one of its songs, a bigger dog came intothe theatre, stopped, listened for a few moments and then ran up and jumped on to the stage. The small talking dog tried to get away, butthe bigger dog caught it by the skin of its neck and carried it offthe stage. Just as the two animals were disappearing behind the curtainsat the side of the stage, the small talking dog said, "I am sorry about this, everybody! This is my mother. She doesn't want me to be an actor. She wants me to become a doctor."33Mrs Robinson always seemed to be ill and unhappy. She often had painful headaches, and medicines did not seem to make her any better,so at last her husband took her to a good doctor.The doctor examined her carefully and asked her a lot of questions. Then he suddenly put his arms around her and gave her a big kiss. Mrs Robinson at once looked better and happier."You see?" said the doctor to her husband. "That is all she needs.I suggest that she has the same thing every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday," and he smiled."Well," said Mr Robinson, "I can bring her on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but not on Saturdays, because I always go sailing on that day."34A pretty, well-dressed young lady stopped a taxi in a big square,and said to the driver, "Do you see that young man at the other side ofthis square?""Yes," said the taxi-driver. The young man was standing outside a restaurant and looking impatiently at his watch every few seconds."Take me over there," said the young lady.There were a lot of cars and buses and trucks in the square, sothe taxi-driver asked, "Are you afraid to cross the street?""Oh, no!" said the young lady. "But I am three-quarters of an hour late. I said that I would meet that young man for lunch at one o'clock,and it is now a quarter to two. If I arrive in a taxi, it will at leastseem as if I have tried not to be too late."35Mr Robinson worked in an office. Every morning he had breakfast with his wife at half-past seven, read his newspaper, drank a cup ofcoffee and then left his house at 8 o'clock to go to catch his trainto town.One morning he was still sitting comfortably at the breakfast tableand reading his newspaper at five minutes past eight. He did not seemto be in a hurry and asked his wife for another cup of coffee."Another cup?" she asked. "But aren't you going to the office today? Have you got a holiday?""The office?" he said and looked up from his newspaper very surprised. "I thought that I was at the office!"36Mr Black gave his wife money every Friday evening, but she always spent it before the next Wednesday, so that for the next three days shehad none.Every Tuesday evening Mr Black asked her, "But what did you spend all that money on?" and she always answered, "I don't know."One Friday Mr Black brought home an exercise book and a pencil and gave them to his wife with her money. "Now look!" he said to her. "When you get money from me, write it down on this page, and on the opposite page write down what happens to the money."When Mr Black came home the next Tuesday, his wife came to him and showed him the book. "I have done what you told me," she said happily.On one page she had written "Friday, 28th June. I got ￡18 from John"; and on the opposite page, "Tuesday, 2nd July. I have spent it all."37A letter to a magazine:"Dear Sirs,。

趣味阅读：Colorful school lifeWe have lived in Lida School for more than one year. I enjoy all the time here because it can bring me a lot of things such as feelings, knowledge and other things I need.There are many trees and flowers around us. The trees are green all the year. When we sit in the classroom and look out of the windows, we can see a big tree shaking its strong arms to us. It is really wonderful.In some ways, our thoughts are at large. Perhaps it makes our brains creative. I believe that nothing can tie up my mind even it stands for authority. The free life is just like our school life.In our school, of course, there are both success and failure. We should not be proud but modest because there are too many people much better than myself. Actually, we also should muster up courage and work harder.I like to sing:“We are honest.We always keep promises.We often think a lot.We are never afraid of anything.”So we have our own school life different from others.At last, it is impossible for me to resist the temptation to say: what a perfect school life I have!1 / 1。
