It was pouring outside. We all stood there  21 , some patiently, others annoyed   22  nature messed (弄糟)their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens   23  away the dirt and dust of the world.  
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice    24   me .
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it   25 down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and   26 : “Mom, let’s run through the
rain .”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No , we won’t , Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said 
as she  27     her  Mom’s arm .
“This morning?  28  did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said ,” If God can get us through this , he can get us through  29  .”
The entire crowd turned   30  . Mom paused and thought for a moment about   31 
she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being  32 . But then we heard, 
“Honey, you are   33. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,”
Mom said. Then   34 they ran.
We all stood   35 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were  36  by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the  37  to their cars. Circumstances (境况)or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your  38 . But no one can ever take away your precious  39 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the  40  to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July.The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court.It was, said the Judge, a simple case.Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming.When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour.Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, "Just don't tell my mother."
" It happened over three years ago," Paddy said helplessly.No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do."Just don't tell my mother," said Fee numbly (麻木地)."And no one did! Oh,God' My poor, poor Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said."Fee, pack your things.We'll go to see him."
She half-rose before sinking back.her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead."I can't go," she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there."It would kill him to see me.I know him so well—his pride, his ambition.Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants.We've got to help him keep his secret.What good will it do him to see us?"
Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes.Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself.He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank look it away.But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said, "Well, Fee, we won't go.But we must make sure he is taken care of.How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?"
There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks." Yes, Paddy, do that.Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out.Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know."

【小题2】Paddy cried because he thought ______.

读写任务Many people believe that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday activities. It is thought that we won’t go shopping because many goods are available on the Internet.There will be no more books because all books will be available from electronic libraries.The Internet will be used to book holidays, rent films and order food. Most telephone calls will be made over the Internet as well. Some people are excited about these new developments.Others, however, do not think that computers will replace our present ways of shopping and communicating.
Is Internet shopping as much fun as traditional shopping ? Many people say it is not. It is fun to go into shops and look at the goods in person.
