I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate(适当的)topic. “Well, Id better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk a
15、bout the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it.

21、rk? If you are like most women, youve faced this question the hard way.A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually wont make an effort to clean or organize it.
