I"m lying on my back in my grandfather"s orchard (果园), looking up at the branches above me.It is one of the last days of summer.Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler.Some kinds of apples are already ripe (成熟的). Others will be ready to pick soon.I think of my grandmother"s apple pie, and how I used to make it with her.She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie since.I really miss her.I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers.The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep. The sky is as blue as my grandfather"s eyes.Above me, big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind.School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down. "Sophie!" calls my grandfather."Is that you?" I stand up, take his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard.We talk about apples, and bees, and Grandma.He tells me that he misses her too. He puts his rough, brown farmer"s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close."You know, Sophie, " he says, "I spent the morning in the attic (阁楼), and you"ll never guess what I found.It"s the recipe (烹饪法) for Grandma"s apple pie.I used to help her make it sometimes.I can"t do it all alone, but you used to help her too.Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out.Want to try?" "But it won"t be the same without Grandma, " I tell him. "That"s true, " he says, "but nothing_is_the_same_without_Grandma.Still, I don"t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie.What do you say?"

Having lived in California until 1970,my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been fortunate,however,to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage. There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and,luckily,none is shown in the website.So,my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant. There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us (my daughter,I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours. The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the_famous_landmark. My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake,I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer-something like,"Help me get out of here in time,Dear Heavenly Father".Minutes later,I was safe outside. | |||
1. The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about________. | |||
A. a new film about an earthquake B. how to survive an earthquake C. his three earthquake experiences D. how to save children in an earthquake | |||

A. all caused bodily harm B. are all recorded in a website C. all measured more than 6.0 D. all happened in California | |||

Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure (奇遇)?Riding the train can be a real adventure.That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak.I often take a fourhour trip to visit my children.Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen. Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride,there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation- in another language.It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train.I think it was annoying. Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a twoday trip by train.She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving.The train ride was the only choice for her.She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train. She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents.That is a very good question.Both of us are old and have children.She asked that same question from time to time. There are always many people on the train from all walks of life,different countries,and many languages.Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures.If you get hungry,you can buy food in the food car at any time.If you need to use the restroom there is always one available. It sure beats driving the car,which has to stop for food and restrooms.And it is better than taking the bus. | |||
