    NOTE1: 補充:a lame duck可以指很倒霉的人;

    「世博VOA」洗耳恭聽,兩個句子小菜一碟!
    Here is a story:
    I have a younger brother. He's got duck's disease. Don't be afraid. I just mean that he is a bit short. Just like other youngsters, he is busy keeping up with the Joneses. He enjoys pop songs, movies, fashions and net games, etc. What I cannot bear is that he totally indulges himself in net games that he has fallen behind others in study. My parents are worrying about this. They know it is a bit difficult for him to tell good from bad immediately and it is impossible to make him a good man just in one day. Anyhow, it is time to take some measures.
    1) He is busy keeping up with the Joneses. 他忙著趕時髦。
    2) He's got duck's disease.他個子很矮。
    「請你猜猜看」挑戰(zhàn)自我,情景搶答也刺激!
    Here are three situations:

    S2. He is 25 years old, but he is only 1.6 meters tall. So what is his disadvantage?
    S3. Is duck's disease a real disease? If no, what do we mean here?
