| When you are little, the whole word feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers. Georgia the summer is all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way. It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie"s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls and old cloths. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green. "Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint." She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we go to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house. We painted big stripes(条纹) of colors across the pavement(人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic! The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn"t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother"s face. I could tell that I was in deep trouble. My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted "What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors" trees, but this! Come inside right now! "I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted(侮辱) my art. "Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement. Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow had gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful. 1. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home? A.

| We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck. At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said: "Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won"t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won"t last. "After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: "Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck. " My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: "Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She"ll never forget it. " The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal (油门]). Holly was unhurt physically but when I reached her, she was crying and saying: "Oh, Dad, I"m sorry. I know how much you love this truck. "I held her in my arms as she cried. Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened (润湿) and she said: "That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad"s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me. " Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night. It was a deep wound on her soul. I remember how sad Holly was on the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thou- sand times more than any piece of property. I repaired the van, but the dent (凹陷) in my truck is still there today. Every day it re- minds me of what really matters in my life. | |||
