Question

【题目】

When we moved to Minnesota, I decided to transplant(移植) Charlie into the garden of our new house. Charlie was the cactus I dug up from our yard in Texas right before we moved. I wanted something to ________me of the home I had to leave.

I opened the front door with Charlie in my arm. A stream of cold air blew on my face as I stepped out of my house. The weather had been ________in the past few days, and what’s worse, overnight the land had been changed into a white world of snow. “How do people live in such an unkind environment?” I wondered, recalling the warm Texas sun. Clearly, planting Charlie outside wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.

As I stood at the front door, two kids on the sidewalk waved to me. The boy shouted, “Are you our new neighbor?”

“Of course she is,” the girl said, “I’m Kristin, and this is my brother Kyle. Do you want to go ________with us?” Kristin asked. She pointed to the frozen pond across the street from my house. “We have a few extra pairs of skates at our house.”

Within the hour I was sitting with Kristin and Kyle on the bench next to the pond. I ________ the ice skates. I knew how to roller-skate, but these skates looked very different.

Kristin laced(系鞋带) my skates for me. When I breathed, icy air filled my lungs. I stood there, shaking with cold. Kyle wrapped his ________around my neck, pulling it up over my mouth and nose. “You’ll get used to the cold,” he said, smiling.

Kyle helped me stand up. “Not too bad,” I thought.

But when I tried to take a step, my feet flew out. I landed on the ice heavily.

Kyle and Kristin pulled me up and ________me on each side as I slipped(滑) and stumbled. After a while I was able to balance on my own. I knew how to push off and glide too. By the end of the day, I was able to make small, uncertain turns on the ice. I almost ________ about Texas as I concentrated on my new friends instead.

Light shone through the open curtains of the front window of my house across the street, and I could see Charlie on the table inside. “We both will be fairly ________here,” I thought with a wide smile from beneath the scarf.
