Where is the woman? Where is the woman?

A lot of people don't want to talk about their age, especially (尤其是) women over 30. The thought of growing older is a painful ( 痛苦的) one and most of us, if possible, would like to have nothing to do with it. However, getting older is a thing that happens to all of us. As a result, many people work hard to keep young. So the last thing they want is for someone to ask the question, "How old are you?" People may answer this question like: "How old do you think I am?" "30 something. I'm in my thirties. Let's just leave it at that." "I can't remember." "Oh, don't ask me that." "A lot older than what I would like to be." However, if you really want to know someone's age, this is how you could find out the answer. First you estimate (估计) their age. Then you subtract(减去) ten years from that estimation. Certainly you will get a big smile from that person who will also say, "Wow. You are my best friend. I'm 38 already. Can you believe it?" You, of course, say, "No. I really can't. You're joking. You don't look a day over 28."

"Drive me to office immediately!" The driver answered 【C10】______ quite a loud voice, too. "Yes, sir!" But he still shook his head at the same time. Suddenly the officer realized that, "No means Yes here!"

Old Mr. Green has lived in southern Iowa for a very long time. He has worked on the land all his life and he sees no reason to stop now. His legs have bothered him for many years, and his hands have pain(疼痛). His wife has been asking him to get some help from a doctor, but he has never listened to her. He has known old doctor since he was a boy, so of course he trusts(信任) him. But it's one thing to trust a doctor, another to really go and see him. At last, when he cannot work because of the pain, he has to let his wife take him to see the old doctor. "How long have you had problems with your legs, Mr. Green?" "For three years!" "And your hands? They've given you pain for a few years, right? I think you might have arthritis (关节炎). I know you've been taking care of your farm by yourself all these years. From now on you' d better get someone to help you on the farm and keep yourself warm. Come and see me again in two months. " Mr. Green feels sorry that he didn' t come to see the doctor earlier.

When you are invited to attend a party in the west, the first important thing you need to know is arriving late. It is a great embarrassment(尴尬) to arrive at a party early or even on time. Therefore, unless you are the host of the party, you never want to be the first person present at a party. Why? Because people are afraid that others may think that they have no life or nothing better to do than waiting for a party to start. Many people try to show an image(形象) of business which, whether true or not, has something to do with success. So by arriving late, you are saying, "I live a full life and it's really exciting." Therefore, an 8 o'clock party usually doesn't really start until maybe 9 o'clock as everyone wants to be thought of as a busy and important person with lots of things to do. In other words, a party is one of those rare occasions (极少数场合) where your punctuality can actually hurt you. It's quite a strange thing, isn't it? Anyhow, remember, be late!

Henry walked for one hour and a half to get home. It______Henry one hour and a half to walk home.

There isn' t______time left, so we' d better hurry.

If you're invited to a friend's home for dinner, keep in mind these rules to be polite. First of all, arrive on time (but not earlier). It's OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes. When you're invited to someone's home for a meal, it's polite to bring a small gift. Fowers or candy are always nice. If you have something made in your own country, your host (主人) would certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift most. What do you do if you're served a food that you don't like or cannot eat? If your host doesn't say anything about what you aren't eating, then you shouldn't, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one sees what you left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit(承认) that you don't eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you've enjoyed the other foods and have had "more than enough" to eat. Don't leave immediately (立即) after dinner, and don't stay too long, either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversations, you'd better leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.

The teacher asked me to ________ some books here.

There was a child ready to be born. So he asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to the earth but how am I going to live there, being so small and helpless?" "Among the many angels (天使), I choose(挑选) one for you. She will be waiting for you and will look after you," God said. "But here I don't do anything else but sing and smile, and that's enough for me to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy." The child said, "And how can I understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men speak?" God told the child, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and teach you how to speak." The child said, "I've heard that on the earth there are bad men. Who will protect(保护) me?" God said, "Your angel will protect you even if it means costing her life." At that moment voices from the earth could already be heard, and the child asked in a hurry, "Oh, God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name!" God answered, "Your angel's name is not hard to remember. You will call your angel Mummy."
