     Tom is a student. He is always absent-minded(心不在焉的)in class. His father and mother always tell him to listen to  the teacher carefully in class.  "Don't  be abset-minded  again."  His teacher thinks a lot to
change him. "Look at us when you're in class. Don't be absent-minded." Tom answers, "OK. I will."
     One day, Tom is in the English class. He is looking out of the window and smiling. His English teacher
asks  the class.  "Say two pronouns (代詞),  please.  Who can  answer my question? " Tom  looks at his
teacher in surprise and stands up, "Who? Me?" "Very good, sit down, please."

     Simon and I were born in the same year. We are classmates and good friends. I always listen to the
teacher carefully in class and do things as the adults (成年人) say. I am well behaved (表現(xiàn)好)and never naughty(調皮). I always get good marks. I am the apple of the teacher's eve. Simon is different. He is
clever but the teachers don't like him, because he is so naughty. In class he often makes faces to make
others laugh(大笑). Sometimes he asks strange questions which are hard to answer. That makes the
teacher in embarrassment(尷尬).
     One day Simon asked Mr. Smith, our history teacher; " May I ask you a question?"    
     "Go ahead, please."
     "When you are teaching a group of students, there comes another group. Then how many groups of
students do you have?"
     "Two, of course. That's the easiest question in the world."
     Simon laughed and said, "you are wrong, sir. Two groups of students joining together(加在一起)is still one group. That's the easiest question in the world."
     All the students burst out laughing.
     You see, we are so different, but we are good friends.
