realized that the kings foot was injured. they decided to throw him back into the forests. it is the tradition for the cannibals not to eat anything that was in any way injured.it is true that everything in our lives happens for a purpose, and most often for our own good. if you think about it, all our past experiences actually happened to bring us to where we are today and make us a better

flier miles（航空积分里程）for the airplane ticket, but had to shell out cash i really couldnt afford for the hotel. i found a travel website where a discounted promotional 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel. about three weeks before the trip, i had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable（可转让的）to another person, couldnt be changed to a later date and wasnt refundable（可退款的）for the next two weeks, i tried selling it on craigs list with no success. five days before the big weekend gave up trying to spend any money and decided id contact some acquaintances who live in chicago and offer someone a free staycation . after trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, i was determined to have the room not go to waste. thats when it suddenly occurred to me that i was looking at the rooms in the wrong way. instead of viewing them for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put them to good use, and that was when the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it hit me. i finally found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic violence. this particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and facilitated the transfer of the rooms. the shelter was working with a desperate woman and her young daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room.25. what did

articulate that which was heard. the sit-and-listen game is especially helpful if your child is at the stage of developing language skills: listening, speaking and so on. method: this is a very relaxing activity in which you both need to sit still and silent for about 30 seconds and just listen to the world around you. you are both trying to hear as many different things as you can, whether they are cars, people, airplanes, water running, the wind in the trees or any other kinds of daily sounds. after the given time is up, having a chat about what you both could hear. it is a good idea to ask your little one some open ended questions to promote their language development, such as: what were the loudest sounds you heard? what were the closest sounds you heard? how many cars did you hear? how far away do you think that barking dog might live? what sounds did you hear which you did not expect to hear? note: as an extension activity you may wish to draw a picture of all the things you could hear. 29. the sit-and-listen game is intended to develop_. a. your childs curiosity b. your childs imagination c. your childs patience d. your childs language ability 30. during the game,
