   When I arrived at 6 a.m. in the hospital kitchen,Rose was already checking name tags(标签) on the trays(托盘).

   “Hi,I'm Janet.”I tried to sound cheerful,although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. “scheduled to work with you this week."

   Rose,a middle-aged woman,stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.

   “What do you want me to do? Start the coffee?” I asked.

   Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags.

   I filled the 40-cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled, “That's not the way to make coffee!M She stepped in and took over.

Nothing I did pleased her.

   Back at home,I stayed alone in my room,fighting back tears. I thought, “Maybe she didn’t feel well. Maybe she had some,trouble." I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.

   I live in Minnesota,which is unfairly famous for terrible winters. Buffalo is far more wintry,whereas Seattle's winters are more bitter. Our winters tend to be brilliantly sunny and cheerful. But,of course,s different for a visitor.

   Lightweight thermal (保暖的) wear is good. Back in the day,we wore layers and layers of heavy woolens. A boy of 13 carrying 35 pounds of wet wool on his back does not feel very cold. Today you can buy outfits filled with goose feathers as well as thermal boots and caps to keep you warm.

When I was a youth,there was no such phrase as global warming. We never got warm,not even at night,when we slept under piles of blankets because Dad believed that if you couldn,t see your breath ' when you talked,then the thermostat was turned up too high and you were wasting fuel. So 45 degrees was room temperature,and we wore long woolens to bed.

   We arose in the cold,dark dawn,and walked forth into the snowstorm to catch the school bus. We huddled(蜷缩) by the highway,praying for the bus to come,while wolves moved around eyeballing us for signs of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves,then the winters of today are a walk in the park.

   Enduring winter is only a start — embracing(拥抱) winter is what you should struggle for. Winter gives a sense of purpose and saves one from a life of self-gratification,lying down and posting photos on Facebook. You have promises to keep. A sidewalk to clear. Two inches of snow over a layer of ice — you may as well set a leg trap for the elderly as leave the walk unswept.

   You have children to raise. Remove their fingers from their smart phones,and lead them outdoors so they can absorb the wisdom of winter. We are animals. Life is not mainly about self-expression. It is about finding food and clothing and shelter,about sticking with the pack and not wandering off. Everyone,is just as cold as you. No complaining.

32. What are Minnesota's winters like in the author's eyes?

   My history teacher Mrs. Sherman in my 11th grade is a great influence on me. She was the person who helped me develop an interest in 41 . Most importantly,she had faith in me,forcing me to 42 myself and helped me become the first in my family to attend a four-year college.

   One of my readers was thought to be a 51 . So,naturally,we started getting 52 . Then,a twist of fate Beth,the potential donor,was discovered to have a cancerous tumor (^5%) on her own kidney. We were 53 to learn this.
