25、vy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr. Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr. Scottie knew very little Engl
26、ish, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hours traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employe

As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the s
32、treet, maybe you will say, “Its cool.” You may think, “Hes so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”.

33、er asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited.

39、e womans gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.
