Because of my curiosity (好奇心), I had a really exciting weekend. I took a trip to Gloucester to see some of the world"s most beautiful animals-whales in the North Atlantic Ocean. After a long trip by train and bus, we got on the ship called the "Privateer". On our way to see the whales on that beautiful sunny day, I grew more and more excited. After a while we stopped, and everyone on the ship started to shout because we"d seen whales. It was wonderful! While we were watching the whales, a guide was giving us information about them. She told us we were seeing only two kinds of whales-50-foot whales (singing whales) and 70-foot whales (the second largest whales on the earth). She also said we could easily tell the different kinds of whales by their tales (尾巴), since every whale has a different tail, just as people have different fingerprints (指纹). They all have names as well. On this trip, we saw "Salt" and "Pepper", two whales named by a scientist and a fisherman. They swam together all the time. Sometimes whales came so close to the ship that we thought we could touch them. I took twenty-seven photos, which was a really hard job because they moved so quickly, and stayed on the surface of the ocean for such a short time. Having seen the whales was one of the chances few people ever got. I was lucky enough to have that chance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

She was returning from teaching out in a small community (社区). It was a black, moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling. She thought back to the time when she had first started teaching out in small communities. During those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her that one of her friends had been shot (中枪) in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm. Her family didn"t stop worrying about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise:" No more hitchhikers!" The snow that night was making her think back to this. Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but as he ran toward the car in the dark, she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need, she couldn"t leave him here in this storm. The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone booth (公用电话亭). She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come to pick him up, she wished him well and then left. Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away. It felt as though she had been holding her breath for an hour. "I hope they"ll understand why I had to break my promise," she thought. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
