| It was her giggling that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn't all that funny. Walking over to the offender , I asked for the__1__. Frozen , she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet 2 between teacher and student. When she finally 3 it over she whispered , " Okay , but I didn't draw it. " It was a hand-drawn 4 0f me, teeth blackened and the words "I' m stupid" coming out of my mouth. I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, 5 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 6 . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some 7 to teach them a lesson,and maybe it was high time that I did it ! Thankfully, Iwas able to keep myself 8 . When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how 9 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason 10 and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.

| If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he'd better offer you more money to do so-or even double that depending on where you live now. That's because Moscow has just been found to be the world's most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting. Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34. 4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation , food , clothing, household goods and entertainment (娱乐) . A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month;a CD $24. 83, and an international newspaper $6. 30, according to Mercer. By comparison,a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包)is a stea at $ 4. 80. London takes the No. 2 place , up from No. 5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates (估算) London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo , both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York ,while No. 5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly. Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 0f the world's most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last year's study-New York came in 15th, down from lOth place, while Los Angeles fell t0 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No. 54, down 20 places from a year earlier. Toronto , meanwhile ,is Canada's most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No. 21 worldwide. |
