On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked together towards his house, he

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 48 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still 49 ?away. A mother who has not 50 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star".

A

　　Our town is in the eastern part of our country. Once a year, we elect a girl to show how beautiful and great our town is．All the girls are eager to get this position in an effort to become popular.

　　It was not an easy choice this year, since there were eight girls to choose from. The elder judge finally decided that either Sara or May would get the position. Both girls were beautiful with extraordinary appearance. Besides, they had a good education and cared about how pollution had a bad effect on the earth. Most importantly, both girls got up early to eat eggs at their breakfast. Eggs were important to people of the east of our town because the economy here depended mainly on the production of eggs．

　　“Either girl will win,” my father said, “But someone will cry in the end.”

　　“Either will be fine,” I said, “They are both great girls.”

　　The final round was held at the east edge of our town. Sara lived nearby so she did not need to get up early
