South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild
12、.But the toad got a last-minute pardon.

32、 The back of his jacket danced in the wind. Very quickly, he disappeared into the fog.At last, I realized my dream. I studied for four years at a famous university in the south.

38、r hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.

39、both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it.

Dont read in the bed or in a moving car.It is high time that we took quick actions to protect our vision!Thank you!
