Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me Sam, an eight-week- old schnauzer
（雪纳瑞犬）
,
to
help
ease
the
loss
of
our
daughter.
Sam
and
I
developed
a
very
special bond
over
the
next
years.
At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor,
whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little
apprehensive
about Sam's jealousy and how he would handle his turf
（地盘）
being invaded, but we decided
to risk it.
We
picked
a
little,
gray,
playful
ball
of
Fur.
She
raced
around
chasing
imaginary
mice
and
squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.
At
first,
Sam
and
Lightning
were
very
cautious
with
each
other
and
kept
their
distance.
But
slowly, Lightning started following Sam
—
up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later,
when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I
took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the
way it was for years.
Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice
but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had
to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to
explain why she would never see her friend again.
In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes
whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.
One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the
sculptured
replica
（复制品）
of
Sam
that
we
had
bought
a
few
years
ago,
one
arm
wrapped
around the statue's neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.
（

What does the underlined word
A. Shocked. B. Curious. C. Worried. D. Eager.

A. Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went.
B. They fought with each other fiercely.

）
What can we infer from the text?
A. Lightning knew Sam had died.
B. Sam means a lot to Lightning.

It was a morning in January. The jet stream (
急流
)had dipped down, causing the Arctic cold to
reach the mountains of my home. It was only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel
like it was 15 below zero. Still, I was kneeling in the snow alongside my house trying to open a
tiny door, so I eoukl get in. 1 had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night before and now
my water pipes were frozen and my faucets(
水龙头
)were dry.
The wind cut into me like a knife while I struggled to get two electric heaters in place around
the section of frozen pipes. The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected
up to my house. I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords(
软线
)into my house and
plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes.
My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this
bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started
flowing
through

Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and
frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we
need is a bit of warnth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart-felt
hug, a morning sunrise, a bird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let
us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit

When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told
her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it. This would mean that she always felt
that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.
When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin
for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.
A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (

through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and
even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just
slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.
Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see
and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another's care and love had
protected me, so I went to the bank for a $$ 100 dollar-bill.
I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $$ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned
out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her
coins. She immediately felt better
