一石二鸟-Kill Two Birds with One Stone

　　Kill Two Birds with One Stone

　　It was funny. Last Friday my roommates were making jiaozi (dumplings). Thinking that the boy students were coming, the few of us had to give theroom an extra clean and make some decorations. The dumplings were to be made on the table, so the table had to be cleaned thoroughly. We were busy swiping the floor, washing the table and tidying things up. Finally, we set out a few pots at green plants to add beauty to our bedroom. Hardly had we put everything in order, when we heard "Bang, bang, bang!" Someone was knocking at the door. I opened it. It was not the boy students. Who do you think it was? Those who came to inspect hygiene. It was an coincidence, and we killed two birds with one stone. Our bedroom scored high for mom hygiene. No room exceeded ours in the appraisal for an orderly bedroom. It was great!

　　When that group of people were gone, there came anothergroup. This time it was the real guests. We were making jiaozi (dumplings). While I was making them, I was thinking that if the hygiene group came back now, we would score the lowest!

　　有件有趣的事。上星期五，我的同室同学在寝室里包饺子。想到有男生要来，我们几个人便把寝室稍微整理一番，装饰一下。由于要在桌子上包饺子，当然还得把桌子清理干净。我们扫地，洗桌子，整理东西，最后，再放上几盆绿色植物点缀寝室。这一切刚刚忙完，只听得“铛铛铛”有人敲门。我开门一看，居然不是我们班的男生，而是——你猜是谁?——查卫生的！真是无巧不成书．这一下咱们寝室倒也一举两得，得了个好分数，没准能评上什么美好寝室，那就棒极了!

　　等查卫生的.一班人一走，又来了一批，这回才是我们班的男生。包起饺子时，我想，要是查卫生的掉头重来，恐怕我们只能得两分了!
