15．Last winter，when I was heavily pregnant（懷孕的），I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law's house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn't have accessible parking．The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground---not many people had ventured out（冒險出去） that evening!
When I returned to my car around 11p．m．，I noticed that I was the only car left．Nervously，I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit．When I finally tried to drive away，my wheels began to spin（打滑）．I was stuck!I spun and spun and wondered what to do．
All of a sudden，in my rear view mirror（后視鏡），I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car．They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members---at least I thought that's what they looked like．My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic．I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me．Terrified，I just froze．One of the young men tapped on my window and said"Excuse me，Ma'am，can we help you？You seem stuck．"Still afraid and fearing the worst，I said"I am stuck．"And the young man said"It's okay，stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow．"And they did!
When they finally got me out of the snow，they smiled and waved．I rolled down my window and thanked them，embarrassed to have judged them so poorly．

11．I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened．Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank．There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water，and it was a life-and-death struggle．Her calf was floating and screaming with fear．Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body．Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away．There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone．Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk（象鼻） against the rocky bank．Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock．

People always communicate with words．Do you think you can communicate with words？A smile on your face shows you are happily or friendly．Tears in eyes told others that you are sad．When you put down your hand in class，the teacher knows they want to say something．Other things can also express message．For example，a sign at the bus stop helps you know that which bus to take．Signs on the door tell you whether to go in and out．Have you ever seen that there is a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all time？

9．In order to know a foreign language thoroughly，four things are necessary．Firstly，we must understand the language when we hear it（61）spoken（speak）．Secondly，we must be able to speak it（62）correctly（correct），with confidence and without hesitation．Thirdly，we must be able to read the language and fourthly，we must be able to write it．We must be able to make sentences（63）that/whichare grammatically correct．
There is no easy way（64）to get（get） succeed in language learning．A good memory is of great help，but it is not enough simply to memorize（65）rules（rule） from a grammar book．It is not use（66）learning（learn） by heart long lists of words and their（67）meanings（mean）．studying the dictionary and so on．We must learn by using the language．If we are satisfied（68）withonly a few rules we have memorized，we are not really learning the language．"Learn through use"（69）is（be）a good piece of advice for those who are studying（70）anew language．Practice is important．We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can．

8．I was the oldest of five children back in the 60's．We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow（平房）in Michigan．Mom and Dad worked so hard，yet always found the time to spend with us．The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in（汽車影院）movies!
We always looked forward to going to the drive-in!Mom would fill a big bag with home-made popcorn．On the way there，Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store，where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy．We were so excited，as we carried our treasuresback to the car，knowing we couldn't eat it until the car-toon began．
We would get there early，so that we could play on the playground，right under the big screen．As soon as it started to get dark，the screen lit up，and we would race bake to the car to get our candy．
There were always two cartoons playing before the movie，like Felix the Cat，The Coyote，and Tom and Jerry．But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand，with dancing hot dogs，candy and ice cream．That came on right before the movie．It was all that five kids could hope for，and by then，stay awake for．
We would get home around 2 am，pretty late for us．Mom helped us drag ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones．
I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town．It will always hold special memories for us-those days of penny candy．
