14、 migrant(移民) communities and particular of Asian peoples. That had been a hugely noticeable change, Mr Spoonley said.

19、ys better to wor with another person to solve a problem. Some problems have only one solution. You cannot be of two minds over this.

20、th one stone. That is, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs dont mae a right.

21、o go along on your date, you can just say to your friend twos company, threes crowd. When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three Rs. These important sills are reading, writing and arithmetic. These three words do not all start with the letter “R”. But they have the sound of “R”. My
22、teacher used to give three cheers when I did well in maths. They gave praise and approval for a job well done. Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their school wor. They were at sies and sevens. In fact, they did not care if they finished high school. But they were happy when the

26、 D. Two heads are better than one. CDuring my junior year of college, a group of us drove a car and “discover” a new suburb(城郊) every month. At first, we all agreed that we had come to college in this major city to escape what we thought were our boring lives in our various places of origin, but aft
27、er a time, we realied that it would be impossible for us to turn our bacs on our old lives completely. The first stop was typically some old diner, which reminded each of us of one from our various hometowns. There wed usually sit, chat with the restaurants owner, drin a cup of coffee, and figure ou
28、t which new and eciting place wed be driving to net. Even now I can remember one diner in Maryland, whose sign we could see from the highway. Although we had all agreed that we had to go to a new town each time, we agreed a few times to brea the rules and come bac to this place. After we had taen no
29、urishment(营养物) for our “big night out”, we would then drive on. We would usually just follow our noses to the inds of places we lied to visit in these towns, typically stopping by the biggest supermaret we could find. There wed buy instant noodles and soda, and other types of foods we all remembered
30、 from childhood. We went to as many places lie this as we could; we were always sure to happen upon something strangely familiar to us. The place - whether it was one of a million grocery stores, movie theaters, or fast-food restaurants - was unimportant; it seemed that everywhere had something spec
31、ial for at least one of us. Looing bac, Im still not sure why we too these trips. Sometimes, though, even now that I live in a different city, Ill still go out to those inds of places once in a while and just drive around the town. I guess, in a way, many of those early memories are lie that diner sign we could see from the highway; most people would never notice that old sign, but to those of us, we all had a great hope that it would still be burning the same as we remembered every time we drove by or came bac. 28. What was the original ai
