41、nted when they informed me they only accepted cash. I was $ 7.00 short, which meant I had to carry the books back home.

43、. I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways. The next day, I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money.

49、ng suit for divers to breathe underwater without carrying heavy oxygen tanks. His suit makes use of the air that is dissolved（溶解）in water, just like fish do. The system uses the Henry Law which states that the amount of gas that can be dissolved in a liquid is proportional (成比例的)to the pressure on t

50、he liquid. Raise the pressure -more gas can be dissolved in the liquid. Decrease the pressure - less gas dissolved in the liquid releases the gas.

51、eleasing the pressure, and the gas fizzes(嘶撕作响)out.
