Question

【题目】The Turners sat at the kitchen table. The sun was shining and filled the kitchen with a warm light. It was a perfect day for having a picnic or going surfing. But in the Turners’ kitchen, no one seemed to be paying attention to the________.

“Okay, girls,” said Mrs. Turner. “I can tell by the expressions on your faces that you have a pretty good idea of why we need to have this family______.” Linda and Kala exchanged looks and slowly nodded.

“Your mom and I have had many talks lately about the possibility of______,” said Mr. Turner. “We were hoping that it wouldn’t come to this, but we don’t have other choices.”

“But Dad,” said Kala, “Kilauea has been an active volcano (火山) since 1983! Nothing has happened to us or to our house yet. I know we’ll be________here. ”

“But your dad and I care about all the recent warnings given by the government. Even though we’ve been safe up to now, there is no way to guarantee (保证) that a larger eruption (喷发) isn’t coming up,” said Mrs. Turner.

“Mom, this is our______. I can’t even remember living anywhere else!” Linda said, fighting back tears.

Mrs. Turner put an arm around her daughter’s shoulder. “This won’t go ______for any of us,” she said. “Dad and I love this house, too. We have so many happy memories here. But we’re tired of living with such uncertainty. The most important thing in the world to us is that our family stays safe.”

Mr. Turner______.“ Girls, there are other places in Hawaii where we’ll feel safer. We’ll have to give up our house, but you know home is wherever we go as a family. We’ll make new memories, and we’ll find things to love about our new home.”

The girls were quiet for a moment as they considered what it would mean to move. “There are so many things I’ll________here, ” said Kala quietly.

“We all will, ” said Mrs. Turner. “But one of the places that your dad and I have looked at is only a few minutes’ walk to the beach.”

Kala and Linda couldn’t help________ when they heard that. They both spent every spare minute they had surfing. If their parents told them that they could actually live in the water, they would have been perfectly happy.

Mr. Turner walked around to the other side of the table. He put one large hand on each of his daughter’s shoulders. “I’m proud of you two,” he said. “Thank you for trying to________ why this is so important to your mom and me.”
