【题目】Selfless Love

Jane’s mother worked on the farm from morning to evening which just could make ends meet. To allow Jane to live a happy life, Mother was very careful about spending money. However, Jane didn’t understand her. Every day Mother was busy with her work while Jane was studying at school, so they had little time to enjoy themselves.

One day, Mother realized Jane was unhappy and even unfriendly to her, so she decided to go skiing with Jane to make Jane happy.

On Sunday morning they went happily to the snowfield. Since they were both in white clothes, the manager advised them to buy ski clothes He said they might be easily found in their ski clothes, in case there was an accident. Mother couldn’t afford them, so she refused.

Then they went skiing in their white clothes. They were skiing happily on the snowfield when suddenly the snowfield began to shake. It was the snowslide. They ran a long way and finally ran out of the snowslide, but they couldn’t find their way. Later, a helicopter (直升机) which came from the nearest airport was flying above, but people on it couldn’t see or hear them. Jane was in danger because she had hurt her head seriously and blood dropped on the snow. Just then an idea came to Mother’s mind.
