Papa's felt so upset when mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams---not to succeed 21 to fail. "It's unbelievable!" he said. "Sister has always been so 22 of her good grades!" "Yes, she has," said Mama. "But it's 23 . It just shows how 24 she wanted off the swimming team." "Wanted off the swimming team?" said Papa. "She 25 said anything about that to me." "Of course she didn't," said Mama. "She was afraid you'd blow your top.(生气) You already 26 her get a swimming scholarship(学位)to college and win gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much 27 she must have felt? For her, being on the team 28 have been much fun."
"Oh, my gosh!" Papa said, clapping a hand to his forehead. "I've been so stupid! I just 29 she'd want to be a champion (冠军) swimmer 30 she's so good at it." "It's like 31 else, dear," said Mama. "No matter how good at it you are, if it 32 being fun, you won't want to do it anymore. "Papa put his head in his hands. "She must be really 33 me," he said, "Maybe I should say 34 to her."
Sister's 35 could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully 36 her parents. "Honey," said Mama with a smile, "Your papa and I have 37 that there's no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don't want to." Sister's face 38 like a shining Christmas tree. "Yippee!" she cried. "And," added Papa, "there's no need for any more 39 . I'm sure you'll 40 your grades up all by yourself." Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms. She gave him a big hug.

TIJUANA, Mexico – A powerful earthquake swayed (摇动) buildings from Los Angeles to Tijuana, killing two people in Mexico, blacking out cities and forcing the evacuation (疏散) of hospitals and nursing homes.One California city closed off its downtown due to unstable buildings.
The 7.2-magnitude quake centered just south of the US border near Mexicali was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit region in decades.
"It sounds like it's felt by at least 20 million people," USGS seismologist Lucy Jones said."Most of Southern California felt this earthquake."
Sunday afternoon's earthquake hit hardest in Mexicali, a commerce center along Mexico's border with California, where authorities said the quake was followed by at least 20 smaller aftershocks, including ones of magnitudes 5.1, 4.5 and 4.3.
"It has not stopped trembling in Mexicali," said Baja California state Civil Protection Director Alfredo Escobedo on Monday.
Escobedo said one man was killed when his home collapsed just outside of Mexicali and another died when he rushed into the street in panic and was struck by a car.At least 100 people were injured in the city, most of them struck by falling objects.Power was out in virtually the entire city.
Susan Warmbier was putting away groceries in the San Diego suburb of Chula Vista when her husband asked, "Is the house moving?"
Elsewhere in San Diego, there were reports of shattered windows, broken pipes and water main breaks in private buildings, but no reports of injuries, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque said.Coronado Bridge over San Diego Bay was briefly closed as a precaution.
Across the border in Tijuana, Mexico, the quake caused buildings to sway and knocked out power in some areas.No tsunami warning was issued, but hundreds of people on Tijuana's crowded beach feared the worst and fled when they felt the ground shake.
