26、When Jack, my husband, and I drove past a fire station with a sign reading, “Are you ready for the next storm?” Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees and outages. We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world.
We have had our share of storms in the past — a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren’t fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear.
Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we’d have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don’t forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand.
We’re ready for the next storm, but we wouldn’t have learned to do all those things if we hadn’t encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms — the big trials — that will come our way. They can teach us some valuable lessons.
Are you ready for the next storm? Now is the time to get ready... not when the storm arrives.

27、Have you ever been to the tiny Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye,situated on the River Wye on the Welsh-English border.In the distance,it looks like any other small European town.But Hay-on-Wye has a delightful quirk that sets it apart from other small towns.It’s home to 1,400 people and hundreds of thousands of books,making it the largest centre for second-hand books in the entire world.
You won’t find a Barnes and Noble in Hay-on-Wye,but what you will find is over 30 charming,cozy second-hand bookshops rich with the smell of old books.(By the way,there’s a scientific reason why you love that smell.)There’s a bookstore specialising in out-of-print children’s books.A shop called“Murder and Mayhem”sells mainly detective literature.And one outdoor bookshop,the Hay Castle Bookshop,is built around the walls of—you guessed it—a castle.How could a book-lover possibly ask for anything more?(Though this is a Welsh town,it would be very easy to develop this Japanese literary habit here.)
One of the town’s most unique features is its “honesty bookshops”.There are basically just bookshelves sitting out in the open,without a cashier or employee to speak of.A sign announces the prices of the books(which are often less than one US dollar),and a collection box for money sits nearby.Customers are trusted to pay,on their honour.There are no security cameras or anything,just good old-fashioned trust.
Apart from being a popular tourist destination for literary fanatics throughout the entire year,Hay-on-Wye also throws a literary festival each year at the end of May.Bookworms from all over the world flock to this tiny town to hear famous writers speak,attend book signings,and,of course,stock up on reading material.And there’s plenty for the kids to do (and read) too!Here,your child grows up loving to read.

29、 A copy of Edward Said’s Culture and Imperialism sits next to an old edition of Ian Fleming’s Gold finger. Classic novels by George Orwell and Ursula K. Le Guin lie on other shelves along with literature and classics in English, German, French and Russian.
These are just some of the 350 books housed in the “Travellers’ Library”, a two-story wooden house on the bank of a beautiful lake. Its creator is 50-year -old Muhammad Latif Oata—a school dropout. While Oata lacks the required schooling to read these books himself, the stories in them hold great value to him. Forced to drop out of school to support his family, Oata was only 16 when he moved to a strange city where he sold some items from his home state.
One day, a foreign tourist passing by his stand gave Oata a book. Unable to read, he asked the tourist to tell him the story in it. It was about a poor young girl who gained success through continuous effort and struggle. Inspired by the story and hungry for more, he began a barter system where anyone borrowing a book would have to give one in return and tell him a story.
Oata’s collection grew to around 600 by 2003, but floods damaged around 200 of them later. “They are my most prized things,” Oata says with pride in broken English he has picked up from communicating with tourists. When Oata returned to the valley in 2007, he set up a small travel agency with a library for visitors to enjoy.
Over the past year, however, the trouble in the state has led to fewer travelers and Oata’s business has also suffered. How long will he take care of the books and keep his small library open and available for people in need? “As long as I am alive,” he says with a smile. “And even when I am gone, these books will remain there because books always find their readers.”
【1】What do we know about Oata?
A．He didn’t like his work.
B．He was removed from school.
C．He didn’t receive much education.
D．He was persuaded to build a wooden house.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “a barter system” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．A system for book sales.
B．A system for writing stories.
C．A system for exchanging ideas.
D．A system for swapping things.
【3】What is Oata’s attitude towards the future of the “Travellers’ Library”?
A．Optimistic.
B．Curious.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Disappointed.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A．Difficulties have defeated Oata.
B．Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D．Books enrich Oata with their magic.
30、One hot summer night, it occurred to me that it would be wise to buy a life insurance. I called the insurance agent for some information. From the questions I asked him, he could tell I knew______about insurance, so he kindly offered to help me______the kind of insurance I ought to be considering.
That night he appeared at my door at 7:30; without wasting time he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and began a_______explanation. I listened_______as he felt I ought to. After three or four hours of______, he kindly helped me fill out an form for a $50,000 insurance, and then asked if I could go to a Dr. Luther’s office on Friday for a_____ examination.
I don’t know why, but it was not until the_______of the doctor’s appointment that I realized fully what was happening. Suddenly I felt sure that I really did not want to buy the insurance. However,_______he had spent so much time with me, I didn’t want to make him feel that he had wasted his time. So I invented an______about things I had to do on Friday, and I promised I would call him in a few days. Actually, I had no______ of going to see Dr. Luther or of calling the agent again.
I wanted to______ the whole thing—it’s been over three months now since our meeting, and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office_______two or three times a week. My secretary knows that I don’t want to talk to him, so when he calls she tells him that I’m in a meeting or that I’m away on a business trip. I realize now that it was a ____ not to tell him that first night that I didn’t want the insurance. Since I still can’t bring myself to tell him directly that I’m not______, and please not to bother me anymore, all I can do is______ his calls and hope I don’t run into him some place.
