Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow(眉毛). Taking my moms hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night I shouted at her. But my mom didnt know what I was talking about.

(5%) Jenny was a nurse in a childrens hospital. One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but some of them had to be left to look after the children. Jenny was not among the _67_ ones who were free to go to the dance. She enjoyed dancing very much, so when she had to start _68_ that evening while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself. She went to each sick child one after another and said good night. Finally, she came to a little boy called Tommy. Tommy was only 11 years old, but he already talked like an adult. Poor Tommy had a very serious illness, and now he was hardly able to _69_ any part of his body except his hands. But he was always happy and always thinking about others instead of himself. When Jenny came up to his bed, he said: “Im very sorry that you have to _70_ the dance because of us. But were going to have a party for you. If you look in my drawer(抽屉), youll find a piece of cake. I saved it from my supper today, so its quite _71_. And Id get up and dance with you myself if I was able to.” Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away and not at all important to Jenny.

Im 14 years old, in the eighth grade, and I live on a dairy farm(牛奶 场) in Michigan with my dad, mom, grandma and my 12-year-old brother, Andy. I want to tell you what life is like on a dairy farm! On our dairy farm, we milk about 55 cows twice a day at five oclock in the morning and five oclock in the afternoon. We also have quite a few calves, some bulls and dry cows. Calves are babies, bulls are fathers of the calves, and dry cows are the adult cows who are pregnant(怀孕) and close to having their calves. So we dont milk the dry cow. My brother and I help my dad with evening housework on school days. My mom works for the Michigan Department of Agriculture(密歇根农业部), so she helps out on the weekend. As we are at school or work on weekdays, my grandma helps my dad milk and feed the animals on weekday mornings. All of us are busy, but we all enjoy our farm life! My favorite part of living on the farm is taking care of the baby animals. What I hate to do is have to get up so early, especially on the weekend! When its time to milk the cows, one person has to push the cows into the milk house, and another gets the cows ready for milking. If you look here, you can see milk flowing from the cow into a milk line and to the big milk tank(贮乳槽) in the milk house. It makes you thirsty, doesnt it? 50Where does Rachel live? She _. 51How often do Rachels family members milk the cows? They milk them _. 52Why dont they milk the dry cows? They dont milk them _. 53Rachels mom doesnt help with the housework during the week, does she? _. 54What do you think of Rachels family life? _. Writing. (5%)
