Some call such people “illegal immigrants.“ Others call them “undocumented immigrants“.Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time.

14、pt that they have the words “Federal Limits Apply“. That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center, says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups s
15、ay the police and others will not.Dan Schnur, a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior.

20、was that he could catch many fish while I couldnt catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “Im not a fish!” I didnt know how to think like
21、a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-b
22、looded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer.

A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in
28、 the head. It controls our bodys functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say “Shes the
29、 brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing it.
