Miss Richards was a teacher at a school for boys and girls.She 1 ndline chemistry and physics from the lowest to the highest classes in the 2 ndline.Sometimes the new classes 3 ndline rapidly(迅速地),but sometimes they were very 4 ndline,and then Miss Richards had to 5 ndline things many times.
One year,the first class had been studying chemistry for several 6 ndline when Miss Richards suddenly asked,“What is water? Who knows? 7 ndline up!”
There was silence(沉默) for a few seconds,and Miss Richards felt saddened(難過),but then one boy 8 ndline his hand.
“Yes,Dick?”said Miss Richards encouragingly(鼓勵(lì)地).He was not one of the brightest children in the class,so she was 9 ndline that he could answer.
“Water is a liquid which has no 10 ndline until you wash your hands in it,Miss.Then it turns black,” the boy replied with great confidence(信心). |
