47、 to Be RoommatesF I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was looking through the teddy bears泰迪熊 beside her father when she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money

48、in his hand.  However, it looked no more than five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and kept picking up the Pokémon video games CDs. Each time he showed one to his father, his father shook his head, “No.    Rather disappointed, the boy gav

49、e up the video games and chose a book of stickers汽车标签 instead . After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games CDs. She excitedly picked up one  lying on top of the others, and raced down toward the counter柜台. I picked up my things and  followed the girl a

50、nd her father.    Then, much to the little girls delight , the little boy and his father got in line behind her. After the CD was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier收银员 and spoke something to her. The cashier smiled and put the&#

51、160;bag under the counter. I was putting things in my bag when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, “ Congratulations！ , youre my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize! and she handed the boy the Pokémon video game CD. The boy could only stared in disbelief

55、 was earthquakes. Besides the fire drills演习 we had each year at school, we also had earthquakes drills. Luckily, there are a few things we can do to prepare for an earthquake.   At home, I think we can fasten heavy objects to our walls. We can buy hooks at our local hardware store. When we

56、 fasten them to the walks, we should make sure we follow the instructions.   When we put objects on shelves, we should make sure they are not heavy or that they cannot hurt somebody when they fall off. This is especially important in bedrooms, as when we are awakened due to an earthquake,

57、our reaction time may be slow. We will want to make sure that we dont have objects that will fall directly on to the bed.   For homes with children, I think parents should teach them what to do during an earthquake. Parents should show them how to get under a table during a quake. Another

58、safe place is an inside doorframe. Parents should teach their children not to go near glass or other unsafe area during the quake. I think they should also teach children what to do if they are ever trapped after an earthquake.   If we are in a structure, which has suffered considerable da

59、mage, I think we should try to move outside after the quake. As we go outside, we should make sure that we are aware of fallen power lines and other dangers. Broken gas mains are another serious danger after a quake.   This is an emergency where it is important to have a familys emergency

60、action plan in place. Most likely a family will not be together during an earthquake. If each one can remember what they are supposed to do in this situation, then they will have an easier time finding and picking up each other.1. We learn that in the area where the author grew up, _. A. wild f

64、nd knowing what to do in an earthquakeH “I love you Bob. “I love you too, Nancy. It was 2 a.m., and I was hearing my parents voices through the thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching and surprising.My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a b

67、what, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought wed my mother would begin, before making a detailed list of my fathers faults.
