digital clock．

By default(默认值)，the 41 was shown in degrees Fahrenheit(华氏)．I 42 all the

buttons on the clock． 43 no matter how hard I tried，I wasn’t able to change it into degrees

Celsius．I had a couple of other digital clocks in which there was a separate button for display change of temperature．This was 44 here．Every day I would think，“What would be the way to 45 the display of the temperature?”

Fast forward to 9：30 a．m．this morning．I just 46 the clock again．My mind told me that

every time I pressed the“mode”button，there was a corresponding(相应的)action and so this time I

went very 47 one by one…and Bingo!!!There it was．The 48 had been won．It now

Proverbs are used everywhere in the world．If you can understand a culture’s proverbs，you can

better understand the culture itself．
