ravel around. As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear go into our camp. Tom wanted his father to chase(驅(qū)趕 ) him away. His father said, “No, it’s dangerous to chase a bear. And don’t let him chase you.” Susie said, “Wha t should we do? Maybe we should climb a tree.” Tom said, “No, we have to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent.” “Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat.” Susie suggested. Then I said, “How are you going to get the honey? It’s in the tent.” We watched the bear go into the tent and heard him turn everything upside down. “It’ ll be foolish of us to try to chase him away,” said my husband . “Leave him alone and wait for him to e out.” We waited, but the bear stayed inside.

I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me said something to me in a low voice, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned (傾斜 ) over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I could lend her a pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink(墨水 ) and would not write. I took a pen out of my pencil box and put it on her desk. Later, after the test papers had been handed in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students could leave. As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up。 she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things. Later on, I found out that the teacher thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. So I went to the teacher and tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just helping the girl by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test. 76. The story happened when __________.

Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource(資源 ). Maybe that’s why they like the expression, “Time is m
