Then after a while，she said，"But it is nice，thank you." But the husband's feelings were hurt.Two years of love was hurt by her words﹣she didn't accept a gift kindly.
Do we often act this way when we receive a gift？Are we sometimes too proud，or too cold？Or are we not strong enough to let the other person do the giving？

Then after a while，she said，"But it is nice，thank you." But the husband's feelings were hurt.Two years of love was hurt by her words﹣she didn't accept a gift kindly.

It's raining today!You might not think this is big news，but for us it is.It has been very hot and dry since the last time I wrote to you.In fact，it hasn't rained for about ten weeks.
I heard on the radio that it was the driest winter in my city ever since they started keeping records of rainfall （降雨量） in 1887.Everything is very dry.In the city，people have let their lawns （草地） die，and the ground is dry.In the countryside，the farmers can't grow any plants，and their animals are dying.The farmers have to buy grass for their animals to eat because they haven't been able to grow any themselves.The government is helping them by providing low﹣interest loans （低息贷款）.
In some towns it's now against the law to water gardens behind houses.People can only water their gardens by using a bucket，and only for about two hours a day.Droughts （干旱） like this happened in our country every five or ten years，but this is the worst one that anyone can remember.
So you can imagine①______happy people were when the rain came at last.Of course，a few hours of rain will not be enough to break the drought，but it's certainly helpful.The farmers need a lot more rain before they can say things are back to normal.It'll take a long time for the land to recover.
Everything looks and②______clean and fresh during the rain.I like the sound of the rain on the roof and windows because it makes me feel nice and comfortable inside my house.It also makes the birds happy and some are having a bath in the water left in front of our house.It's fun to watch them.There's lots of water running down the streets.
That's all the news from here.Please write to me soon.

【分析】亲爱的金，
今天下雨了!你可能认为这不是什么大新闻，但对我们来说却是。自从上次给你写信以来，天气一直很热，很干燥。事实上，已经有十周没下雨了。
我从收音机里听到，这是我市自1887年有降雨记录以来最干燥的冬天。一切都很干燥。在城市里，人们让他们的草坪死掉了，地面也干涸了。在农村，农民不能种植任何植物，他们的动物正在死亡。农民们不得不买草给他们的动物吃，因为他们自己还不能种草。政府通过提供低息贷款来帮助他们。
在一些城镇，给屋后的花园浇水是违法的。人们只能用水桶给花园浇水，而且一天只能浇水两小时左右。像这样的干旱在我国每隔五年或十年就会发生一次，但这是人们记忆中最严重的一次。
所以你可以想象当雨终于来的时候人们是多么的开心。当然，几小时的降雨不足以缓解干旱，但肯定是有帮助的。农民们需要更多的雨水才能说一切恢复正常。土地恢复需要很长时间。
下雨的时候，一切看起来、闻起来都很干净、清新。我喜欢雨点打在屋顶和窗户上的声音，因为这让我在家里感觉很舒服。这也让鸟儿们很高兴，有些正在我们房子前面留下的水里洗澡。看它们很有趣。街上有很多水在流。
这就是这里所有的新闻。请尽快给我回信。
简
【解答】（1）①考查副词。句意：所以你可以想象当雨终于来的时候人们是多么的开心。根据句子结构分析，可知本句是复合句，此处用副词连接宾语从句；根据后面happy（开心），可知此处用how表示程度。故①空填how；②考查动词。根据前面and可知此处与looks并列，又根据后面clean and fresh （干净、清新），可知此处表示"闻起来"，又根据looks，可知本句是一般现在时，谓语动词用单三形式，故②空填smells。故答案为：how；smells。
（2）细节理解题。根据第一段 In fact，it hasn't rained for about ten weeks.（事实上，已经有十周没下雨了。）可知简的城市已经十周没有下雨了。故答案为：For ten weeks.
（3）细节理解题。根据第二段 I heard on the radio that it was the driest winter in my city ever since they started keeping records of rainfall （降雨量） in 1887.（我从收音机里听到，这是我市自1887年有降雨记录以来最干燥的冬天。）可知简的城市自1887年以来开始有降雨记录。故答案为：In 1887.
（4）细节理解题。根据第二段The government is helping them by providing low﹣interest loans （低息贷款）.（政府通过提供低息贷款来帮助他们。）可知政府通过提供低息贷款来帮助农民。故答案为：By providing low﹣interest loans.
（5）细节理解题。根据第三段 Droughts （干旱） like this happened in our country every five or ten years，but this is the worst one that anyone can remember.（像这样的干旱在我国每隔五年或十年就会发生一次，但这是人们记忆中最严重的一次。）可知每隔五年或十年简的国家就会发生一次像这样的干旱。故答案为：Every five or ten years.
（6）细节理解题。根据第五段 I like the sound of the rain on the roof and windows because it makes me feel nice and comfortable inside my house. （我喜欢雨点打在屋顶和窗户上的声音，因为这让我在家里感觉很舒服。）可知简喜欢雨点打在屋顶和窗户上的声音是因为她在家里感觉很舒服。故答案为：Because it makes her feel nice and comfortable inside her house.

I heard on the radio that it was the driest winter in my city ever since they started keeping records of rainfall （降雨量） in 1887.Everything is very dry.In the city，people have let their lawns （草地） die，and the ground is dry.In the countryside，the farmers can't grow any plants，and their animals are dying.The farmers have to buy grass for their animals to eat because they haven't been able to grow any themselves.The government is helping them by providing low﹣interest loans （低息贷款）.
In some towns it's now against the law to water gardens behind houses.People can only water their gardens by using a bucket，and only for about two hours a day.Droughts （干旱） like this happened in our country every five or ten years，but this is the worst one that anyone can remember.
So you can imagine①______happy people were when the rain came at last.Of course，a few hours of rain will not be enough to break the drought，but it's certainly helpful.The farmers need a lot more rain before they can say things are back to normal.It'll take a long time for the land to recover.
Everything looks and②______clean and fresh during the rain.I like the sound of the rain on the roof and windows because it makes me feel nice and comfortable inside my house.It also makes the birds happy and some are having a bath in the water left in front of our house.It's fun to watch them.There's lots of water running down the streets.
That's all the news from here.Please write to me soon.

It's raining today!You might not think this is big news，but for us it is.It has been very hot and dry since the last time I wrote to you.In fact，it hasn't rained for about ten weeks.
I heard on the radio that it was the driest winter in my city ever since they started keeping records of rainfall （降雨量） in 1887.Everything is very dry.In the city，people have let their lawns （草地） die，and the ground is dry.In the countryside，the farmers can't grow any plants，and their animals are dying.The farmers have to buy grass for their animals to eat because they haven't been able to grow any themselves.The government is helping them by providing low﹣interest loans （低息贷款）.
In some towns it's now against the law to water gardens behind houses.People can only water their gardens by using a bucket，and only for about two hours a day.Droughts （干旱） like this happened in our country every five or ten years，but this is the worst one that anyone can remember.
So you can imagine①______happy people were when the rain came at last.Of course，a few hours of rain will not be enough to break the drought，but it's certainly helpful.The farmers need a lot more rain before they can say things are back to normal.It'll take a long time for the land to recover.
Everything looks and②______clean and fresh during the rain.I like the sound of the rain on the roof and windows because it makes me feel nice and comfortable inside my house.It also makes the birds happy and some are having a bath in the water left in front of our house.It's fun to watch them.There's lots of water running down the streets.
That's all the news from here.Please write to me soon.

【分析】亲爱的金，
今天下雨了!你可能认为这不是什么大新闻，但对我们来说却是。自从上次给你写信以来，天气一直很热，很干燥。事实上，已经有十周没下雨了。
我从收音机里听到，这是我市自1887年有降雨记录以来最干燥的冬天。一切都很干燥。在城市里，人们让他们的草坪死掉了，地面也干涸了。在农村，农民不能种植任何植物，他们的动物正在死亡。农民们不得不买草给他们的动物吃，因为他们自己还不能种草。政府通过提供低息贷款来帮助他们。
在一些城镇，给屋后的花园浇水是违法的。人们只能用水桶给花园浇水，而且一天只能浇水两小时左右。像这样的干旱在我国每隔五年或十年就会发生一次，但这是人们记忆中最严重的一次。
所以你可以想象当雨终于来的时候人们是多么的开心。当然，几小时的降雨不足以缓解干旱，但肯定是有帮助的。农民们需要更多的雨水才能说一切恢复正常。土地恢复需要很长时间。
下雨的时候，一切看起来、闻起来都很干净、清新。我喜欢雨点打在屋顶和窗户上的声音，因为这让我在家里感觉很舒服。这也让鸟儿们很高兴，有些正在我们房子前面留下的水里洗澡。看它们很有趣。街上有很多水在流。
这就是这里所有的新闻。请尽快给我回信。
简
【解答】（1）①考查副词。句意：所以你可以想象当雨终于来的时候人们是多么的开心。根据句子结构分析，可知本句是复合句，此处用副词连接宾语从句；根据后面happy（开心），可知此处用how表示程度。故①空填how；②考查动词。根据前面and可知此处与looks并列，又根据后面clean and fresh （干净、清新），可知此处表示"闻起来"，又根据looks，可知本句是一般现在时，谓语动词用单三形式，故②空填smells。故答案为：how；smells。
（2）细节理解题。根据第一段 In fact，it hasn't rained for about ten weeks.（事实上，已经有十周没下雨了。）可知简的城市已经十周没有下雨了。故答案为：For ten weeks.

（4）细节理解题。根据第二段The government is helping them by providing low﹣interest loans （低息贷款）.（政府通过提供低息贷款来帮助他们。）可知政府通过提供低息贷款来帮助农民。故答案为：By providing low﹣interest loans.
（5）细节理解题。根据第三段 Droughts （干旱） like this happened in our country every five or ten years，but this is the worst one that anyone can remember.（像这样的干旱在我国每隔五年或十年就会发生一次，但这是人们记忆中最严重的一次。）可知每隔五年或十年简的国家就会发生一次像这样的干旱。故答案为：Every five or ten years.
（6）细节理解题。根据第五段 I like the sound of the rain on the roof and windows because it makes me feel nice and comfortable inside my house. （我喜欢雨点打在屋顶和窗户上的声音，因为这让我在家里感觉很舒服。）可知简喜欢雨点打在屋顶和窗户上的声音是因为她在家里感觉很舒服。故答案为：Because it makes her feel nice and comfortable inside her house.
