A Tall and Slim (苗条的) Girl
At five feet six inches, Linda was taller than any other student in the sixth grade. She worried (担心)
about this all the time, in school and at home. Her mother told her to stand up straight and be proud (骄
傲的) that she was so tall and slim.
"Someday,"her mother said,"you'll be happy that you're tall."
This made Linda happier, but she was still afraid (害怕) her classmates were making fun of her (取

team. She said that Linda was a good volleyball player and her height would make her valuable (有价
