You can work together or petitively. Set a time limit for best results.2) State Version:Try to find a license plate from every state. Work as a team.

Make Them LAUGH!Straight Face:One person is “it.” They have to answer any question with a silly phrase. You decide what this phrase is before beginning. A mon first phrase is “The cat’s tail.” Then you each ask this person a question, like “What do you eat your soup with?” The person must answer, without smiling or laughing, “The cat’s tail.” The next person asks another question, like “What is the most important thing to take to school tomorrow?” Each person must ask a question until the person who is “it” breaks down and laughs or smiles.

People learning to be humorous.CSince the Second World War, there has been an obvious trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stage of adolescence, “go steady” through high school, and marry before their formal education has been pleted. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying heads over the unacceptable ways of youth. However, emotional(情感的) maturity does not grow with age。 it does not arrive automatically at twentyone or twentyfive. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in threescore years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of loneliness. However, any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one’s problems。 more often, it merely worsens them. What’s more, it is doubtful whether the home is able to carry all that the young are seeking。 they might abandon one idol(幻像) only to have another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the most important in life, but they themselves are wrong in believing that they have found the true center of life’s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are basically unrealistic and therefore can not be met. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment(幻想破滅) is often likely to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are bad and all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own benefits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few false expectations, and if it is economically workable, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones. 63.

DNew security camera can “see” through clothesNew technology that can “see” through clothing and detect what’s underneath can now be used to scan crowds, making it a potentially effective tool to prevent terrorist attacks in public places.The ThruVision T5000 camera picks up Terahertz rays, or Trays, which are naturally sent out by all objects and can pass through clothes or even walls. The camera can then detect metallic and nonmetallic objects hidden under clothing on still or moving subjects without showing any body detail.While similar technology is seen at airports around the world, the T5000 is designed to be used in large, open areas. With a range of 25 meters, the T5000 can screen people in public places, thus avoiding bottlenecks at border crossing or security checkpoints. It also means people can be screened without knowing it.The technology develops from British astronomers’ work in studying dying stars. Astronomers use Tray cameras to see through dust and clouds in space. The pany sees uses for its camera at other sites where political or business activities take place. For privacy concerns, ThruVision Chief Executive Clive Beattie said the image produced by the camera did not show detailed parts of the body. “It’s almo
