11、off. The car rolled down the driveway as fast as it could go, crossed the road and finally stopped up against my neighbor s curb (路边 ). I thought it was fun, but Mom didn t think so.

12、njoyed watching The Adventures of Superman on television so much that I wanted to fly just like him. One day I got into the closet and picked one of Mom s best pillowcases (枕套 ). I went out onto the front yard and tied the case around my neck, pretending it was a cape. Then, standing on the side of
13、the porch ( 走廊 ), which was about 7 feet high, I jumped. The spanking my mother gave me didn t hurt as much as my scraped knees. But the worst thing I ever did happened when I tried to impress the new girl across the street. She was incredibly cute, so I went over and introduced myself. 4 After I to
14、ld her my name, she said she wanted to show me something she had found. We went into her backyard, and in the knot of the biggest and oldest tree was a beehive. She said she liked honey and asked me how to get it out. “ We could stand watch, and when they leave the hive, we can reach in and take the
15、 honey,” I suggested. A large group of the bees flew away, so I moved closer to the hive. I was brave and maybe just a little crazy. I managed to take a little bit of honey when a bee rested on my arm. I killed the bee, and then it seemed like thousands of bees flew toward me. My new friend screamed
16、 and ran. I ran as fast as I could across her yard and up the long hill to my front door. I never looked back. The sound of the bees behind me told me the coast wasn t clear. When the group of bees attacked, I screamed for my mom. As I reached my front door I saw her swinging a broom around me to ge
17、t the bees off me. I didn t care that she landed a few hard hits on my head, I just wanted them off.

Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like fetching a th
23、rown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog magazine.

In addition, dog people are 11 percent more conscientious than cat people. “ Conscientiousness” is a tendency to show self-discipline, to complete tasks and aim for achievement.
