Carol and Susan are very good friends. They are in the same _1_ at school and they often visit _2_
home at weekends (周末). Now they are _3_ eight years old. Carol's mother has got a new baby.
Carol is very _4_ to have a little sister. So she is always talking about her to Susan. At first she is very
_5_ in the new baby because she doesn't have any brothers or sisters. But _6_ some time she begins to
get tired of Carol's endless talking (喋喋不休地谈论) about it. She also fells a little jealous (嫉妒) of her
friend.
One morning when the two girls _7_ in the school ground, Carol says to Susan, "Do you _8_, Sue, my
baby sister has put on nearly half a pound in weight (体重增加了半磅) this week."
"That is not very _9_." answers Susan. "I know a baby and he puts on ten pounds a day."
"Oh, that can't be _10_." answers Carol laughingly. "Whose baby is it?" "An elephant's" says Susan. |
