Just not a long time ago did I finish my blog about the unforgettable snowy storm that I had on Monday night in November. I got another big 36 in Seattle again. But this time, it's not snow, but the wind and rain. I have 37 seen such a strong wind before even though I had 38 the typhoon every summer when I was still in my home country.
That 39 storm was so powerful that it 40 the whole big Seattle area out of 41 . 700,000 people had no electricity, and 42 13 people have died. Seattle is famous for its evergreen trees, but those trees made a big 43 this time. They broke down the power line above the ground, 44 the road and streets, and 45 the houses.
As the last storm was still 46 in my mind, I had another personal 47 about this new storm. 48 , this time, it was not good either. I was 49 to have my TOEFL test on the second day of the stormy night. Since the whole city had no electricity, my test had to be 50 off, and I had to prepare for another one later. It was my last test for the 51 , and I already made a plan for the time after the test, but now 52 is changed.
I guess sometimes, the way that the thing 53 is not always what you 54 . And what I can do now is to fit for it. 55 , we got a free hotel room from my husband's cousin and met my lovely nephew from San Francisco.

At the age of seven, I went to see my grandma in Warwick and spent the summer with her. One day I went to a general store with a 34 full of what Grandma needed.
“Excuse me, I need to 35 these,” I said .
“So ? I’m not your 36 ! You should get yourself a basket and start filling,” Miss Bee, the owner of the store, said 37 without smiling. “If you’re 38 you’ll be home by sunset.” Sunset was five hours away. 39 , the store was a puzzle, and I wasn’t sure if I would make it.
I visited Miss Bee several times a week that 40 . One afternoon when I watched her adding 35 cents instead of 29 for a can of beans, I 41 her immediately. Though being caught overcharging , she didn’t seem 42 , and she just fixed the price.
All summer long I was always tricked by Miss Bee. No sooner had I memorized the soda’s location on the shelf than she rearranged the shelves and made me 43 it all over again. But by summer’s end the 44 trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stepped in to get a bottle of water.
“What did you 45 this summer?” she said.
“That you’re so mean!” I whispered.
To my 46 , Miss Bee laughed. “When you get older, you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”
Glad I met Miss Bee ? No!
Until one day my daughter came to me with homework 47 . “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish it for me?”
“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” Suddenly, I was 48 at that general store where Miss Bee had really taught me something all those years ago.

After a year of preparing herself, Laura Dekker has been given permission to sail around the world. “I was so happy that I almost jumped into the river,” Laura said, after learning of the court’s verdict(判决).
The 14-year-ol
d was born on a ship in the South Pacific, and currently lives with her father on a boat. When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.
Since the decision, though, Laura had been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big ship. And she took her first aid course to learn several survival skills, like how to put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course --- adding alternate routes(备用路径) to avoid pirate attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.
Even with all of the added preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to abandon(放弃) her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world. Her ship’s mast(桅杆) broke due to rough waters in the Indian Ocean, and she was rescued by a French fishing ship.
Laura plans to take longer than Abby for her voyage, and is using a larger and more stable boat. If she finished successfully in less than two years, she will take the title from current record-holder Jessica Watson, of Australia, who was 16 when she completed the journey.

| A.it was considered to be a dangerous trip |
| B.Laura had to finish her schooling first |
| C.it would cost Laura too much time and money |
| D.Laura wasn’t prepared for the sailing alone |
| A.Doubtful | B.Supportive | C.Uncertain | D.Neutral(中立的) |
| A.how Laura convinced the court |
