It was early afternoon and the harbor (海港) was quiet. Mr Bates, the keeper of the lighthouse (灯塔), went
to the village. He left his daughters Rebecca and Abigail to look after the lighthouse.
As Rebecca was about to prepare some water for the evening meal, she noticed a strange ship coming to
the harbor. It stopped and lowered two little boats, which turned and started toward land: At that time people
feared every ship they did not know, for the year was 1814 and America and Britain were at war.
Rebecca and Abigail held their breath to see what these two boats would do. Closer and closer they came,
until finally they entered the harbor. They were full of British soldiers!
No help was to be seen. What could they do? How could they warn the town soldiers? They had no boat,
and there would be no time to run to the village. Rebecca thought fast and then she had an idea. Calling to
Abigail to follow, she ran to the room where the guns were stored. But instead of reaching for the guns, she
took hold of the fife (军笛 ) and the drum(战鼓 ).
Then the two young women ran along the wooded path to the shore (海岸). Hiding behind tall trees, they
started to play the fife and the drum. Abigail beat out Roll Call. Rebecca joined in with Yankee Doodle. Soon
Rebecca saw the boats had stopped!
The girls went on playing. A moment later, a flag was raised on the warship-the signal for the boats to return.
Once everyone was on board, the enemy ship set sail for the open sea.
The British were fooled, and the" American Army of Two" won the day.
B. She would welcome the British soldiers.
C. She loved to play the fife and the drum.
D. She wanted to frighten the British soldiers away.
B. the two British boats
C. the fife and the drum
D. the two town soldiers
B. a lot of American ships came to stop the British
C. the British thought the American soldiers were coming
D. some of the British soldiers were killed by the American

| Christmas was just a week away and I had five people left to shop for and only three dollars. "Let"s set a price limit(限制)on our gifts this year," I suggested to my best friend Joanie. "That"s a good idea,"Joanie agreed."How about nothing over five dollars?" "How about sixty cents?" I felt like the biggest cheapskate in the world. "I guess this is where I"m supposed to say it"s not the gift but the thought that counts,"Joanie smiled. It is almost impossible to buy anything under sixty cents, so it was really going to have to be very small gifts with very big thoughts. Finally, Christmas Day arrived. I gave my mother a candle with a note that said," You are the brightest light in my life." She almost cried when she read the note. I gave my brother a wooden ruler. On the back of it I had painted,"No brother in the world could measure up to (比得上) you." He gave me a bag of sugar and had written on it, " You " re sweet." For Joanie, I painted a pair of shoes with a note that said, " No one could ever fill your shoes (代替你)." She thanked me and said I always tickted (搔) her and made her laugh. To my other two friends, I gave Annie a paper fan and a note on it,"I" m your biggest fan." I gave Helen a calculator (计算器) that cost one dollar and I painted a message on the back,"You can always count on(依靠) me." My mother knows she is the most important person in my life. My brother thinks I" m sweet. Joanie thinks I" m funny and make her laugh, which is important because her dad moved away last year and she misses him and is sad sometimes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
