"Spell ‘champion,'" Scott told his elder sister.
"C-h-a-m-p-i-o-n."
Unsure about it, Scott still cheered, "You'll win the spelling bee (拼写大赛)!"
Lucy thanked, happy but worried, wondering if her dog Senator would be looked after well when she was away for a week.
"Dad and I will keep him perfectly!" said Scott, dreaming of getting his own pet if he could prove himself.
It was time to leave. Dad wished Lucy good luck.
"See you in a w-e-a-k," Scott said.
"W-e-e-k," Lucy corrected him and said, "Bye!"
Each morning Scott woke up early to feed Senator, leaving a note to remind Dad. After that Scott continued to sleep.
A week later, Lucy returned and told the family she failed. Then she found her dog sick. Scott felt sorry but confused, because he'd been a strict direction-follower.
They came to the animal hospital. After the examination, Lucy was angry, "A terrible stomachache! How could Senator put on two pounds in such a short time?"
Dad said, "I only fed him two scoops of dog food every morning."
Scott shouted, "Dad! You fed him again? Didn't you read my note? It says I've fed him!"
It took Lucy a while to understand before asking Scott how to spell "fed".
"F-e-e-d? Scott! ‘Fed' is spelled f-e-d. But your note says f-e-e-d, telling Dad to feed the dog!"
"So Senator was fed twice?" Dad asked.
Scott said sorry, "I just wanted to be responsible so I could get a dog for my next birthday."
"OK. I'll teach you how to spell correctly and train myself for next year's spelling bee," Lucy said.
"You have a few months to practice before you get one for your birthday," Dad added.
Scott burst into laughter.
"Having a little brother isn't so bad," Lucy told Senator, "if he can help f-e-e-d!"
When I just moved to Los Angeles(洛杉矶), I didn't have a car.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, but I wanted to prove(证明)them wrong.
I asked my neighbor, Mrs. White, to take me to the bus station in the center of the city, so I could try taking the bus home.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. When I got there, I went inside and got a bus timetable(时刻表). I looked at the map and worked out that I needed to take three buses to get home.
I bought the tickets and went outside to wait at the bus stop for the Number 8 bus. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I gave my ticket to the bus driver and took a seat. At the right stop I got off. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I waited and waited. A man was also waiting for the same bus. He said that it wasn't unusual for the bus to be late. Half an hour later, it finally came. To make the matter worse, the third bus broke down halfway and the driver had to fix it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. So when I finally got home, I was very tired. Maybe getting a car in Los Angeles wasn't such a bad idea!
A. It wasted half an hour B. I would take buses in Los Angeles again C. Then I waited for the next bus D. She thought I was crazy but gave me a ride E. Everyone said that I couldn't get around without one F. Soon it came and I got on |
