The ruler in this country was as monstrous as a monster. He did not know that a molecule is made up of atoms, so he forbade the others to go to school. He installed monitors everywhere to monitor the people. The monetary system became a government monopoly. The ruler was in no mood for thinking of modernization. Every time his subordinates asked to see him, he always answered, “I am watching TV for the moment. I am busy at the moment. Wait for a moment. I will come in a moment.” His subordinates waited and waited but could not see him. One day, the ruler wanted to build a monument to himself. He wasn’t modest at all. A huge mold was modified to build the monument. The moist season set in and the moisture made the building work harder. The monument was done. The moment the ruler saw it, he cried with momentary excitement. Now he had another ridiculous request. He forced all the ministers to pay homage to the monument monthly! Nobody was interested in his monotonous show, but none of them dared to say that.这个国家的统治者像怪物一样可怕。
他不知道分子是由原子组成的，于是他禁止别人去上学。
他到处安装监视器来监控人民。
金融系统成了政府的一项垄断。
统治者没有情绪来思考现代化。
每次他的下属要求见他，他总是回答：“我现在正在看电视。
我此刻很忙。
等一会儿。
我马上就来”他的下属等啊等啊最后还是见不到他。
一天，统治者像要给自己建一座纪念碑。
他根本都不谦虚。
一个巨大的模子被改造来建造他的纪念碑。
潮湿的季节来了。
湿气使建造更加艰难。
但纪念碑还是造好了。
统治者一看见纪念碑就因为瞬间的激动而大叫起来。
现在他有另一个荒谬的要求了。
他强迫所有的大臣每月一次参拜他的纪念碑！没人对他单调的表演感兴趣，但没人敢说出来。

可爱的孩子们是托儿所的核心。
他们穿着一式的尼龙衣服。
他们喜欢吃坚果，比如腰果和核桃。
牛奶用来给他们的身体提供养分。
他们需要足够的营养。
孩子们刚才吃过了午饭。
他们中午任何地方都不准去，于是他们就去睡觉。
但海伦还是不时地听见他们的耳语。
海伦喜欢在这个闲暇时间读小说。
她正从小说里学习很多新的名词。
不幸的是，现今，孩子们更喜欢看电视而不是读众多的书了，海伦这样想着。
而且有些电视节目还鼓吹原子核战争！这是多么讨厌的事呀！Mr. Porter was a notable detective. He had been nominated as the police sergeant. Nonetheless, he was only the nominal one. But he did not care. He was pleased to the normalization of relationship between the police and the people. In the northern hemisphere, spring is in March and April. On April 4, the police notified Mr. Porter to follow the tracks of a notorious murderer. Mr. Porter started out notwithstanding the heavy rain. He left before noon to catch the ship in time. And he decided to pay for the nominal fare himself. The ship sailed northward first, then northeast, finally northwest. Everything was absolutely normal. Mr. Porter took out a notebook and wrote down anything he thought noteworthy. He found the murder easily because of the noticeable scar on the latter’s forehead. Mr. Porter subdued him with a gun. Then he called the police. At first, the police did not have a notion of what he meant. They thought what he said was nonsense until they arrived at the ship. They asked him what reward he wanted. Mr. Porter answered that he needed nothing but a few days’ rest.波特先生是个著名的侦探。

他们认为他在废话胡说，直到他们到达了那条船。
他们问他想要什么报酬。
波特先生回答他们仅仅想要休息几天。
