If he wants

52、to start a conversation with a British but is 38 to know where to begin, he could do well to men ti on the state of the weather. It is a（n） 39 subject to which a resp onse may well be 40 of eve n the most reserved of the British. 21. A. relaxed B. frustrated C. amused D. exhausted 22. A. yet B. othe

We decided to let it 24 growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to
