27、   It was a morning in January. The jet stream（急流）had dipped down, causing the Arctic cold to reach the mountains of my home. It was only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel like it was 15 below zero. Still, I was kneeling in the snow alongside my house trying to open a tiny door, so I could get in. I had forgotten to leave my water dripping（滴水）the night before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets（水龙头）were dry.

The wind cut into me like a knife while I struggled to get two electric heaters in place around the section of frozen pipes. The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected up to my house. I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords（软线）into my house and plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes. My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again. I went back outside into the biller cold and gathered my heaters up. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.

Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warmth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart-felt hug, a morning sunrise, a bird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of warmth for others every chance we get.

【1】What was the direct reason why the water pipes were frozen?

A．The jet stream

B．The low temperature.

C．The cold wind.

D．The author's own carelessness.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “roared to life” in Paragraph 2?

A．Began functioning smoothly.

B．Worked inappropriately.

C．Broke down suddenly.

D．Screamed out loudly.

【3】What did the author think of his work?

A．Embarrassed.

B．Satisfied.

C．Mad with joy

D．Disappointed

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly centered on?

A．The coldness of life has a negative effect on our life quality.

B．We meet with the coldness of life unavoidably and unwillingly.

C．We should be thankful for bits of warmth of life.

D．We should seize every chance to receive warmth of life from others.
