It was pouring outside. We all stood there 26 , some patiently , others annoyed 27 nature messed up (弄糟) their hurried day . I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens 28 away the dirt and dust of the world. “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice 29 me. “No, honey. We’ll wait until it 30 down a bit,” Mom replied. The young girl waited about another minute and 31 : “Mom, let’s run through the rain.” “We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said. “No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she 32 her Mom’s arm. “This morning? 33 did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?” “Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,” If God can get us through this, he can get us through 34 .” The entire crowd turned 35 . Mom paused and thought for a moment about 36 she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being 37 . But then we heard, “Honey, you are 38 . Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then 39 they ran. We all stood 40 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were 41 by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the 42 to their cars. Circumstances (境况) or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your 43 . But no one can ever take away your precious 44 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the 45 to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain. 小题1: A．talking B．waiting C．complaining D．expecting 小题2: A．as if B．even if C．because D．when 小题3: A．taking B．putting C．driving D．washing 小题4: A．caught B．broke C．impressed D．called 小题5: A．slows B．comes C．pushes D．calms 小题6: A．asked B．repeated C．required D．added 小题7: A．pulled B．touched C．waved D．felt 小题8: A．Why B．How C．When D．Where 小题9: A．the rain B．the disease C．anything D．something 小题10: A．still B．silent C．serious D．angry 小题11: A．what B．how C．whether D．if 小题12: A．dishonest B．silly C．daring D．forgetful 小题13: A．right B．wrong C．stupid D．clever 小题14: A．off B．along C．on D．over 小题15: A．sighing B．joking C．discussing D．watching 小题16: A．followed B．guided C．respected D．praised 小题17: A．time B．way C．same D．best 小题18: A．house B．money C．health D．time 小题19: A．children B．memories C．courage D．experience 小题20: A．possibilities B．risk C．opportunities D．challenge
