gusting (劲吹) on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern,so we carried
on our daily work not suspecting what was about to happen.
The storm gave us very little warming. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon (地平线) so
suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then,we were not really worried,as the clouds seemed
to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then,just as the clouds had moved
inland,the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm.
Instantly,we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm
before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we
could do about the corps. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older
brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above river. If
the river flooded,they should be safe there.
In the meantime,my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of
fine service. If the tin flew off,it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying
firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows.If the storm develop into a
cyclone (旋风), the boards would protect the glass.
The storm raged for four hours,pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As
expected. the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock. "
Then, just as we were beginning to lose hope,the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The
animals were safe, and the roof was still nailed on. "All"s well that ends well," Said my mother.
B. they were extremely worried
C. they were preparing for the worst
D. they faced the storm bravely
B. they had everything ready for the crops

| Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents" home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend"s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I"d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership－a shop selling cars－was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. "Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said. "Thank you"－two powerful words. They"re easy to say and mean so much. | ||||||||||||||
