listening to music in the bedroom. Suddenly, he felt that his body was shaking. Slim had the rapid response
that there was an earthquake! He shouted quickly, "Dear, earthquake! Go to the toilet!" Nicole heard the
shouting, took the first-aid box quickly and ran into the toilet. The house was shaking even more
dramatically (剧烈地).
Bathroom was the next door to the kitchen. Slim picked up a kitchen knife and two pieces of bread
outside the kitchen. Slim tried to run along the wall to help Nicole. However, there was a dark suddenly
with an explosion. The house crashed down and many things fell from above. Nicole was quickly buried in
ruins. She felt it very difficult to breathe and tried to stand up, but impossible.
A few minutes later, the land was silent. Nicole heard the sound of short breath and thought it was
Slim! She shouted to him but ___________! He probably fainted. Nicole kept calling his name and she
finally heard a response. Two people encouraged and calmed each other. They knew that there must be a

Slim found that they were close and were separated by the fallen stones and some powder. He
started to dig with the kitchen knife. He felt pain in his fingers. Finally, he removed the last piece of larger
stones. Slim touched Nicole"s one hand, then dug the surrounding stones of her body. Finally, Nicole was
able to move slowly. Two people sat on the ground and hugged together.

rainstorm, with no cars on the road.The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet
ahead of him.Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop.The man, without thinking about it,
got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering

car.Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town.In a state of
complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky.
Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he
just went through in the spooky car.Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with
hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic 1 ; in the other a
toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I’ll never forget the words
she said, even 2 it was a pretense.
She said, "Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very 3 . She didn’t listen to a 4 I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was 5 she’d been put there to sit alone and 6 .
My daughter 7 her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t
know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too.
She never 8 me do the things that I just have to do.
She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot 9 . And she doesn’t know 10 to fold
towels. I don’t have the 11 to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t
have the time to sit and play- 12 what I mean?”
And that day I thought a lot about making some 13 in my life, as I listened to her 14 words that cut me like a knife. I hadn’t been payi ng enough attention to what I hold most 15 . I’d been caught up in
responsibilities that increased throughout the year.
But now my 16 has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different 17 through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs(蜘蛛网 18 the corners and the dust bunny rabbit
rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them 19 .
I’m going to fill the house with 20 of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood,
and we will never get another.

It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That"s more or less happened on the
night that Nashville police officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
"I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue
lights and sirens(警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off
quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than
a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
But Hyde couldn"t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worring
about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird
in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit(附近的警局)would be able to step in and stop the
speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac
made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found unit had already
arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn"t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the
Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
"Just about that time," Hyde says. "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and
oil going everywhere. He had blown his engine. Now he had to stop."
"After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn"t have a driver"s license".
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty extra --- a thousand dollars for the new engine ---
not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.

Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week.We were supposed to do

about my words.It wasn"t 13 like me to say things like that.
"I"m your secret friend." It was Rochelle. "I" m sorry about the gift," she whispered to me, tears
14 down her face.
From a poor family, she was a 15 at school for those with rich parents.Yet she just took all
the 16 and the horrible treatment silently.
I was sick to my stomach as my 17 words ran through my mind.She had heard everything.
How could I have been so cruel?
