　　A．The plants． B．The ground． C．The water． D．The street．If “I love you” are the three nicest words in the English language, then “just in case” must be the three most annoying. They are often followed by “you never know…” suggesting a whole bundle（大量）of horrors if you don’t go along with the “just in case” idea.

　　The first “just in case” you heard was probably from your mother. Do you remember “Always make sure your underwear is clean. Just in case”? You’d ask “In case of what?” and she’d say, “You never know…” If you kept asking she would finally say the ominous（不祥的）words. “You could be in an accident.”

　　Through most of you school years, besides books, pens, etc… you carried around a heavy sweater, sunscreen, and a rain coat, just in case it got cold, or hot, or it rained. Thanks to Mom, “just in case” ruled your life. It was the same with Halloween candy.
