19、their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer.

21、 the world.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and things in their school bags.

The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find wate
28、r using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water.

32、 lie and we should always tell the truth. Unfortunately, most children lie even if theyre told not to.
