Finally, I 40 the young man to our secretary, who was a miracle(奇迹) worker 41 three kids of her own. With her in charge, I was 42 all would be OK.
To get the students back in order, I 43 my own story of getting my 44 stuck between the rails of a balcony.

Baptiste Dubanchet is biking across Europe，surviving 38 on discarded（丢弃）food. The three-month, 1 900-mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet’s 39 of raising awareness of food waste in Europe and throughout the world.

What's 47 interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet抯 cause. Berlin has been the 48 while the most difficult was the Czech town
