Tina usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “Hi”.In one class, I gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite (背诵) a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my _ would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student _ to correctly recite the poem. Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who _ recite the poem had to do three push-ups (俯卧撑). To my _, Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class. _ she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she _ her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just joking!” But she stood up, continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? Its not an _ assignment!”“Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal (正常的),” Tina said.Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, were not normal! We areteenagers! We get in _ all the time.”“I know,” Tina said as a big smile spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too. Tina got only a few _ that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.11 . AdifferentBstrongCshortDyoung12 .

However, it is not the only natural wonder of Australia. Another popular natural site is located in the desert in the heart of Australia. This natural wonder is the huge rock formation (岩层) called Uluru, or Ayers Rock.The two names for this rock formation come from the two languages of Australia. Uluru is an Aboriginal (土著的) word with no real meaning. It is just the name of the rock. The English name, Ayers Rock, was given to this natural wonder in the 1800s by an Englishman named William Gosse. Gosse named it after the Chief Secretary of South Australia at that time, Sir Henry Ayers. Today, both names are used for the site.Looking at Uluru from a distance , viewers are first astonished to see this huge, lonely rock in the flat (平坦的) ground. Visitors who happen to be there early in the morning or late at night can also witness (目击) the changing colors of Uluru. The rising and setting sun changes the color of the formation, red, blue, pink, brown, and gray at different times. What people cannot see, however, is that two-thirds of the formation is under the ground. What visitors to Uluru see is only one-third of the whole rock.In case you are wondering how big Uluru really is, the top of the formation is 348 meters above the desert. It usually takes about two hours to hike to the top. There is also a l0-kilometer trail that visitors can follow to walk all the way around Uluru.27 .

And many people will never pay through the nose, that is, they will not pay too much money for something. It is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other peoples business.

And my teacher often says, If you put your heart into it, the answers should be right under your nose. It means something can be found or seen easily. As for ear, there are also some expressions.When I want to say something to you, I hope you are all ears and listen carefully. I also advise you to keep your ear to the ground. This means to be interested in what is happening around you and what people are thinking.Another expression about ear is to play it by ear. Someone is able to play a song or a piece of music by remembering the tune（旋律） and not by reading the music.There are many other expressions about different parts of our body.For example, if someone is playing a joke on you, you can say, You are pulling my legAnd to turn your hand to something means to begin to do something.
