She always refused.As her middle school graduation approached, however, Adriana began worrying about university. Her parents would cover her study fees, but Adriana planned to pay for her university books

13、, art supplies and accommodation herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made the suggestion, Adriana agreed. A disbelieving grin appeared on Mr. Marcus's face.The following day, after checking the newspapers and visiting several local real estate offices, Adriana and Mr. Marcus wandered around

14、the town looking fbr a suitable location. Finally, though, they could not find anything within their price range.At the day's end, the pair entered a small co flee shop to rest. Mr. Marcus could see the disappointment on Adriana's face and9 as a woman came to take their order, said, "Do

Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example, have long been a dream of many There is a natural desire to

21、explore as far as we can go, and also to extend humanity's presence on a permanent or at least semi-permanent basis.

29、rated as a great crafter of language and playwright (剧作家).But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre.

32、enged the feudal system of his time.
