11、by propellers(螺旋桨). Heres a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually theyre just opening their mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?

17、s.D. To comment on popular lists BIn 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought Id hitch

18、a ride (搭便车). I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldnt give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat

21、er. After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldnt remember where Id met him.

28、philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.
