I'd spent the night rushing to the window every time I heard a branch fall.Now，looking out into the early morning light，not one tree in our rural neighbourhood had been left untouched.Branches lay everywhere.The Great Ice Storm of January 1998 was upon us.What was worse，the ice storm caused a power outage（停电）.
Alex and I were searching in the basement with a flashlight，trying to find our camping stove.We needed coffee—some sense of our morning tradition to start the day.I heard a timid knock on the door.Doris Lee，our closest neighbour，had somehow managed to make her way through the ice，wood and downed power lines，to arrive at our door.She looked anxious.
"Have you seen Harold and Prince？"
Our house backs onto a wooded area，and every morning we would watch Doris's husband Harold with Prince，his golden dog，wander down the tail.Prince totted （小跑） quietly on the lead and always brought Harold home safely.Harold had been diagnosed with Alzheimer（阿尔茨海默病）the previous summer.Doris had been positive about maintaining their life together and trying to keep things as normal as possible.However，she hadn't expected an ice storm
"I was upstairs，looking for batteries for the radio，when I heard the door close.Harold is so used to his routine，I just couldn't stop him from taking Prince out. "
Alex rushed to pull on his coat as he asked， "How long have they been gone？ "Doris hesitated. "About half an hour.I didn't want to bother you，and Prince is usually so good about finding his way home. "
Alex looked at me.I turned to Doris and said， "You go home.I'll be right over.I'm going to find our camping stove.I'll bring it over，and we'll make some coffee while Alex finds Harold.They'll want a warm drink when they get home. "
Doris turned and headed back to her house while Alex ran across the yard toward the woods.I finally found the stove，and，making my way across the ice，I arrived safely at Doris's home.

【答案】She and I waited in her kitchen.I made the coffee but Doris didn't even notice.She stood by the sink staring out into the yard，her cup untouched.We waited and an eternity passed before I saw Alex coming across our yard.He was carrying Prince in his arms.Harold was walking behind him，tears streaming down his cheeks. "Prince was hit by a falling branch.Get some towels or blankets.He's alive but he must be in shock.He's been bleeding from that cut over his eye." We covered Prince with blankets.
We sat around the kitchen table，four silent people，unable to pull our thoughts away from the injured dog in the corner.Prince was more than just a faithful companion.Prince was a partner sharing in Harold's care，and without him，Harold would lose his independence.Anxiously we watched the pile of blankets covering the injured dog，fearing the worst.Suddenly there was a small movement.Alex put his hand on Harold's shoulder. "Look Harold，he's waking up."

1．Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat，but it was not even possible for her，since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However，with no money in hand，she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？
"Oh，yes…，but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today，" said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating，Jenny cried silently.
"What is it？" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing，actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother，drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words，the seller smiled， "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your gratitude to her？"
Jenny sat there，speechless and numb with shock？she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted，but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

2．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers，three sisters，my father and mother.We had little money and few goods，but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but often told me "Dream is priceless".However，when I was about to get off the ground，one particular incident happened，which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5，that was a big sum.I was so excited，because this meant a chance for money in my pocket，certainly money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect（前景）of the job was inviting，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach，I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage， "If you make your bed，you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all，my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

3． One day，when I was a first-year student in high school，I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself，"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday？He must really be a nerd（书呆子）."
I had quite a weekend planned（parties and a football game with my friends），so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking，I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him，knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying，and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up，and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him，and as he crawled around looking for his glasses，I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses，I said，"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said，"Hey，thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out，he lived near me，so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before，but we talked all the way home，and I carried his books.
