The expert said with a smile, “Let me tell you a sto

We loved the

20、visitor centre there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pic

He was 12 and had been at the Childrens Home(孤兒院)since he was only four. I thought of him. He was honest(誠實(shí)). For example, the handle (柄)

26、of the ax (斧)broke one day. Jerry said the Childrens Home would mend it. I handed him some money to pay for it. He wouldnt take the money. Ill pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didnt hit the wood in the right place. _. And it was a weak handle. Ill speak to the seller. It was only then that he would t

27、ake the money.Another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things. The things would not be badly needed but would make life so much easier. For example, he found a hole near the fireplace. Ill put some wood in the hole, mama. Then when a sudden storm(暴風(fēng)雨)comes up, you can

28、stay warm. One cold day, Jerry sat close by me near the fire. We watched the fire bum. He suddenly talked of something he had never talked of before.

32、ople might feel their hearts beating quickly while they are waiting for the test paper. A student with really strong testanxietymay even feel like he or she might be sick or throw up（嘔吐）.Sound familiar? Youll find that just about all peopleadults and othershave some anxiety before a test. According

33、to studies, proper anxiety can be helpful, keeping you sharp and focused and even helping you get good grades. But when you have so much anxiety or feel so sick that you cant do well in your studies or tests, thats bad for your studies or your body health.Of course, if you dont study for the test, y

34、ou might be worried. That kind of anxiety isnt easy to deal with because even if you find a way to calm down, you still might not know what to do with it.

It is their great ambition（雄心）

38、in life. They think pop-stars earn a lot of money, they lead interesting and exciting lives, thousands of fans love them, and they become famous!Yes, but first they must become stars. Most performers star life with a group. This is the pattern nowadays. But there are many groups and competitions are

39、 hard. Groups appear and disappear almost overnight. Only a small number survive. Almost without exception they have to work very hard before they reach the top.And very few reach the top and stay there. In England there are perhaps thirty or so groups at the top. Most of these do not earn so much m

40、oney, perhaps 500 pounds each time they perform. Whats more, they have quite a lot of expenses(開銷). They have to pay a manager, for example. He is the key person in their lives and takes about 20% of their earnings-perhaps more. Then there are their clothes, their instruments and their van. Sometime

41、s they are still playing for the last two items.And dont forget, they have to travel a great deal-sometimes 2,000 miles in one week.

He was very lucky

44、as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize（交往） with, and was used to people from the moment he was born.However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. Thats when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of t

45、he kittens? Theres one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten. When we first brought him home,Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in th

46、e house,hell stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isnt long before he finds his way back to us. A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new born cat named Bear.

47、 across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle（摔跤）.Theyll lie down in the grass together when tired.
