Carl studied in our high school three years ago. Last August his father found a job in another city and his family moved there. He began to study in a new school and we often write to each other. He often tells me something about the city where he lives now and his studies in the school. So I can know what happens to him.
Last Friday Carl came to our city again. He hoped to stay with his old grandpa during the summer holiday. He’s taller and stronger than before. We swam in the river outside the city together or had a picnic on the island. It surprised me that he has learned to cook when we were travelling in the wild forest. He told me his parents were both busy and sometimes he stayed at home alone and he had to look after himself.
"How do you like your school" I asked.
"Wonderful," said the young man. "It has a tall building and there’re two chemistry labs, two biology labs and three physics ones. And our library is big and there’re plenty of books in it."
"I can see you are happy with it."
"Yes," answered he. "But our geography teacher often says to himself in class."
"So does our new history teacher," I said. "But he doesn’t notice it. He often talks on’ and on, but none of us listens to him!/

years ago. Last August his father found a job in another city and his family

both busy and sometimes he stayed at home alone and he had to look after
himself. "How do you like your school" I asked.

Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That’s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.
Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.
Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they’ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won’t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.
Many post-80s couples can’t go to the movies, shop or attend parties because( )
A:they have to look after their kids B:they have to look after their parents C:they are busy with their work D:they have no money

In hindsight I realized she never developed any interests (58) her own. In fact, she seemed to have no interests (59) from his interests. As "doctor’ s Wife", she (60) him, the family and the house. When the children became independent, she became even more attentive to him and didn’t (61) any other interests to replace the missing children.
When grandfather died, we all tried to visit her often and tried to persuade her (62) our families. She told us to give her a little time to (63) and said that for the time being she preferred to stay home. About three months later, I found her (64) in grandfather’ s bed having passed away from an apparent heart (65) . In retrospect I think that she had died in spirit when grandfather passed away. When he died, her identity died and soon there after her body.
