Linn sensed something abnormal or mysterious buried somewhere in Martha, his deskmate. Her sincerity and particularly the sweet greeting in her undoubtedly earned her respect and popularity, but her white gloves appealed to everyone. Who ever saw them removed from her hands?—Exactly, never. It was obviously distinguished her from anyone else.
It deserved to be researched. Linn felt it big fun. The life of senior high was occupied with stacks of books and large amounts of homework, especially when one was a member of the high school with an excellent reputation. Every day, all spared no pains to prepare for various examinations. It would bore one to death not to seek excitement. It was impossible for Linn to be lonely just for a minute. One like Linn born to be cheerful would possess several best friends like peas and carrots, and Andy was one of them. Andy was outgoing and humorous. He seemed not concerned but nothing could escape his attention. His biggest headache was that he found it hard to control his temper, because he tended to lose patience with others.
这值得(deserved)去探究(researched)一番。林恩觉得这非常有趣。高中生活被一摞摞(stacks)的书和大量的家庭作业占据(occupied)着,尤其(especially)是当一个人就读于一所有着良好声誉(reputation)的高中时。每天,所有人都不遗余力(spared no pains)地为各种各样的(various) 考试(examinations)做准备。如果不去寻找(seek) 刺激(excitement),真会让人无聊(bore)到极点。对林恩来说,哪怕一分钟感到孤单都是不可能的。像林恩这样天生开朗的(cheerful)人会拥有(possess)几个非常要好的朋友,安迪就是其中之一。安迪性格外向的(outgoing)又幽默的(humorous)。他看上去似乎不在意(concerned),但没有什么能逃过(escape)他的注意(attention)。他最头疼的事是,他发现很难控制(control)自己的脾气(temper),因为他往往(tended)会对别人失去耐心(lose patience)。
