When Connor first 37 the package, he thought it was a normal gift filled with some necessary things.“I was 38 , because it's like Christmas when you get mail from your family in college,”he said.
However, as Connor 39 the package, what was actually inside couldn't have been further from what he had40.
It wasn't a care package or a gift. It was 41 he'd left behind while he was at home for the Christmas break---his rubbish. The box was filled with 42 things ---everything he was too 43 to take out when his momhadaskedhimoverChristmas.
In fact, Connor failed to. do all of his 44 at home. So his mom got the 45 to mail his rubbish to him to teach him.

And we had a good laugh 48 t he phone," he addcd. Connor later said that the rubbish he'd received in the box was 49 a part of what he was asked to take out.
Where was the rest? They were 50 in his bedroom drawers.

The number 666 has become so 51 among young people that it can now be seen on different kinds of social media platforms(平台). It is interesting that the number carries different 52 i n Chinese and Western cultures. As far 53 I know, 666 is a homophone(同音词) for being fantastic in Chinese. In Westerncountries,however,itreferstobadluck.
The 54 of 666 is to mean“fantastic in games”. When a player has given a wonderful performance, his or her team members will type 666 in the dialog box 55 their deep admiration(赞美).
Sometimes, even the opponents(对手) will do 56. However, in some situations, the number 666 is used as irony(反语). When a person 57a silly mistake, someone may laugh at him or her by saying“666”.
In a word, 666 has become a very popular number, but it isn't 58 used to express positive meanings.The next time someone says 666 to you, think twice---is it a compliment.(赞扬)or a 59. Also, use 66660(or don't use it at all) when you are talking to a Westerner!

His new owner Marion Wischnewski said that she took the parrot in after he was made to leave the animal center. That was bccause one of his previous owners used to teach him to say dirty words.

Hello everyone,
May I have your attention, please?
Next week our class are going to have a journey to Sunshine Farm. The journey will last for one week. On the farm we’re going to do some cleaning and help clear away rubbish at first. Then, we’ll learn how to plant trees and grow vegetables. During the week, we’ll have a picnic and help the farmers pick fruits such as apples and pears. For our safety, we mustn’t go swimming in the river and we should keep together. Nobody is allowed to leave the class group and go alone.
Wish you a happy journey!
That’s all. Thank you!
