There are four girls. They go to school by car every day. Their parents drive them all to school.
One day, after the girls arrive at school, Angie says, “Let’s go to class an hour late. I don’t want to take the math test today.” The other three girls think it is a good idea, because they all don’t want to take the test. Angie says, “But our teacher will be angry if we come late. So we need a good excuse(借口).” “Oh, that’s easy,” says Susan. “ We just tell the teacher that my mother’s car has a flat tire(轮胎坏了). So we are late.” All the girls think it is a good excuse. When the girls arrive at the classroom an hour later, the math test is over. The teacher is very angry. “Why are you late?” asks the teacher. Susan says, “My mother’s car has a flat tire and we have to wait for her to repair it.” Then the teacher says, “Sit down, girls. Take out a piece of paper and a pen. Write down which tire is fault(出故障) on the paper.” The four girls look at each other and they don’t know what to write.[来源:学科网ZXXK]

David hated spending money. When he had to buy something in a shop, he always tried his best to knock down the price, even for the cheapest things. If he wanted to buy a bottle of orange, for example, and the shopkeeper asked for $2, David would say, “Make it $1.90 and I’ll buy it.” Sometimes the shopkeepers agreed to reduce their prices a little. “What’s ten cents?” they asked themselves. “If it makes this man happy, it won’t hurt me very much.” In this way David saved a few cents here and a few cents there, and by the end of the year he had saved several hundred dollars.

One day he had a very bad toothache and had to go to the dentist. The dentist looked at the tooth and said, “This tooth will have to come out. It’s too serious to save.” “How much must I pay you to take out a tooth?” David asked. “Forty dollars,” the dentist said. “How long will it take you to pull out the tooth?” he asked. “About two minutes,” the dentist answered. “Forty dollars for two minutes’ work!” he shouted, “That’s robbery (抢劫).” The dentist smiled. “You’re right,” she said. “Thank you for telling me. I’ll pull your tooth out very slowly. How about if I take half an hour?”

It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
