作业；

1）Bryce感到很抱歉，他最开始有去赔礼道歉嘛？

The next day at school I was trying to get up the nerve to say something to her, but I never even got the chance. She wouldn't let me get anywhere near her.

2）突然有一天Bryce看见了谁在Juli的院子里？那个人在做什么？

Bryce saw his grandfather in Juli's yard.

His grandfather helped Juli to do yard work and talked with Juli.

3）Bryce家晚餐时间发生了什么？Bryce有没有收到惩罚？

During the dinner, Bryce's father was curious about

“why's the girl the one who's finally doing something about their place?”， and Grandfather didn't tell the whole thing, just answered “She wants to, is all.”

After the dishes were cleared, I retreated to my room, but my grandfather came right in,

He pulled my curtain aside and looked across the street. “One's character is set at an early age, son. The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life.” He was quiet for a minute, then dropped the curtain and said, “I hate to see you swim out so far you can't swim back.”

4）通过Bryce grandpa的描述，Bryce了解到了什么事情？

Juli's father has a retarded brother,

who had a severe mental or physical handicap.

“It had nothing to do with chromosomes, Rick! It was caused by a lack of oxygen at birth.”

“Juli's uncle had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. Twice. One minute he was a perfect little baby, just like your son, Bryce, and the next he was irreversibly damaged.”

“They don't own that house, Rick. The landlord is supposed to maintain the premises, but he doesn't. And since Juli's father is responsible for his brother, all their reserves go to his care, and obviously it doesn't come cheap.”
