As children we are well-trained t find the right answer. We are rewarded fr A's, the hnr rll and acing the test. Our educatin trains us t fllw the rules and deliver the expected answers.

Nutritinist Lily Sutter als clarifies if it really takes seven years t digest chewing gum (口香糖), whether yu can swim after eating and if fish is gd fr the brain.
She cnfirms that while carrts cntain lts f vitamin A, which helps maintain healthy visin, they dn’t help yu see any better in the dark.

Almst half believe fish is gd fr the brain. They’re right, as lng as they’re eating ily fish, because essential mega-3 fatty acids in ily fish cntribute t nrmal brain functin.

A lack f infrmatin abut the cars may be stpping peple frm taking the plunge. It’s nt prmted at all fr the public t understand—it’s simplifying the actual wning f a car—yu dn’t have t d s many things t wn it and run it, it’s just s much simpler.

解析： 前文提要：我挣扎着保持漂浮,但没有用。“如果我听了我父母的话,这是永远不会发生的,我默默地想。
(1)第一段所给首句：Finally, after struggling fr a minute r tw, I still gt pulled underwater.这是一句转折句,接下来应该是作者不放弃,勇敢地游出水面,求救,无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。
(2)第二段首句：When I wke up, I was in an empty rm lying in bed.这一句应该是转折句,既然作者醒来,说明他已经被救,接下来应该是作者躺在医院里,一定是通知了他的家人,父母来后一定会生气的,父母会责备他偷偷地跑出了房子,但也很高兴他没有受到严重的伤害。作者永远不会忘记那可怕的经历。他也不想再炫耀了。
44．答案：was trn dwn

46．答案：putting yurself in their shes
