Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything — tutors(家庭教师), cards, special learning centers — in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的) school.

After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread(铺开)out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity(好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns(修女)?”

Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.”

“Well then,” she asked again. “What was it?”

Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed(钉) to the plus sign(十字架), I knew they weren’t joking.”

Do you know 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar(卡塔尔). And FIFA(国际足联)has made a big decision. The 2022 Qatar World Cup will be held in November and December. It is the first time FIFA has moved the event from its traditional summer to winter. According to the decision, the 2022 World Cup will start on November 21. The final(决赛)will take place on December 18, one week ahead of Christmas.

FIFA said, “This is an important step for us. December18, 2022 is a Sunday, and it is National Day in Qatar, so it fits very well.” Many people disagree that Qatar has the chance to hold the 2022 World Cup, since summer temperature(气温)is very high—sometimes, the temperature may be about 50℃. So the country has an idea to move it to winter. At last FIFA gave the chance to Qatar.

The change is good for the players, but there is still muchopposition. The biggest opposition comes from the major European leagues(欧洲联赛), because the new time will be just European club season. FIFA said they would try their best to make things go well.

In this way, you will h    80     us have better, greener and bigger cabbages.

Betty didn’t think she could do it at once and in the end she f    81     all about it. The mother fell ill for a few days and couldn’t work in her garden. When she was w    82    , she took Betty with her to the garden to see the cabbages. To her surprise, the insects ate up every leaf. When Betty saw this, she b    83     to cry. Then her m    84     said to her, “we should never put off (推迟) what we have to do today till t    85    . And you must learn to deal (处理) with the bad things while they are small, or it will turn into a big problem.”
