经典背诵 Recitation
Todd: I'm an American scientist. Sometimes I travel to China for work. I have a good Chinese friend named Benjamin. He always helps me a lot when I'm in China. So I can always enjoy the time there. It's interesting that I always get a room on the 8th floor. A waitress once told me that 8 was the lucky number in China. It made me happy.
