19、me to be a college man.”The psychologist laid his hand on the boys shoulder and said, “People have different kinds of talents. Some day you will find what your special gift is and when you do, you will make your parents very proud of you.”Johnnie never went back to school. Jobs were scarce in town,

26、ith a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “Im so sorry. Im so sorry.”His actions I this scene are very British. If Roberts character were from the Britain, then she would probably apologize repeatedly as
27、well even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesnt happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street regardless of whether they are responsible or not.

40、bility.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntingtons disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive abilities. Our study gives
