Diane Ray was completely self-centered and very spoilt. Her parents gave her   36 she wanted, knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum(耍小孩脾气)if they did not. She would scream and kick and  37 on the floor drumming her heels. Her parents always   38 .
That was why she was alone on the  39 , wearing an expensive swimsuit. It has taken a massive tantrum to  40 her parents to buy it. They were back at the beach-house, 41 from the tantrum she had thrown when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving  42 . “Dangerous?” she had said. “You just don’t want me to have  43 . I’m going and if you try to stop me, I’ll scream.”
“What are you doing ?” a voice asked. Diane jumped. She did not know that the man was there 44  he spoke .
“I’m going diving, ” she answered.
“You shouldn’t swim that day, ” the man  45 . “There is a storm coming up.”
“You should mind your own   46 !” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.
“If you go out there you’ll be  47 ,” the man called after her. She did not bother to reply.
Diane slipped into the water and dived   48  until white caps began rolling in and it became harder to  49 against the current (水流). Saltwater hit against her face, making it  50 to breathe. Oh, why had she not listened to advice.
Panicking, she began to  51 . Then, just as it seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, she heard a  52 voice. “Hold on ! I’m coming.” With  53 , she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her. “I hope you’ve learned a lesson. You put us both in  54 , ” he shouted angrily, as he dragged her over the side of the  55 . Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house.

Thanksgiving(感恩节) Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun task——to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the class would celebrate the holiday with turkey(火鸡) and other traditional goodies(好吃的东西) of season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of her students’ art. And they were. But Douglas made a different kind of picture. He drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand. Douglas was a different kind of boy. Most of the time, as other children played together, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. Everyone could guess the pain he felt from his eyes.
His picture interested other students. Whose hands could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for Gold feeds us.
The teacher stopped at Douglas desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said, “ It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there. How often had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ ll go outside.” or, “ Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Douglas was thankful for his teacher’s hand. It means much to Douglas. He might not always say thanks, but he’ll remember the hand that reaches out. She wiped her tears away and went on with her work.

【小题2】Douglas drew an empty hand in order to_____.
A.show thanks to his teacherB.ask for a turkey
