It was not long before Jack came back to North Carolina for a short    3  . The teachers and students held a small party for him.

At the party, people walked around and    4   with each other. I certainly would not give up that good chance to learn English. So I tried to think of all kinds of topics to talk with Grace, another _____5____teacher.

Just before I was about to run out of my topics, suddenly I    6   Jack say to others loudly, “I dig New York!” I immediately asked Grace, “Is it really difficult to find a    7   in New York? Why does Jack have to do    8  work since he is such a good teacher?”

Grace didn’t seem to    9   what I said, “Why do you think that?” she asked.

“Haven’t you heard him say that he is digging New York?  Is he building an underground passage (地下通道)?” I asked.

When she finally realized (明白) what I meant, Grace laughed to tears. She then asked us whether (是否) we    9   the meaning of “I dig New York.” All of    10   shook heads and said no. So Grace asked Jack to explain it to us.

It turns out that “ I dig New York.” means “I love New York.” in American slang (俚语). Though few people say that now, we still hear it from time to time.
