One morning in December，Tom Carr was playing with his friend Dot as usual in the yard.Tom was nine years old，and Dot was seven.Tom took very great care of his friend.

Mr.Carr called his men out.In an hour or so Mrs.May and her baby drove up.Tom and Dot ran to meet them. "Thank you，dear，" she said. "The smoke is so bad at home that I was afraid it would choke（呛）the baby. "
She went to the house，and Tom and Dot were following her，when Tom stopped. "Look there，Dot. " he said. "The brown calf（小牛）has gotten out of the yard！" The men were in such a hurry to fight the fire that they forgot to close the gate，and the brown calf was running away.Tom ran at once to bring the calf back，and Dot ran after him.
About half a mile from the farm yard the open land came to an end，and the bush began.The calf ran into the trees，and the children followed.The trees were not thick at first，and it was very easy to follow the brown calf through the bushes.But the calf ran into a deep valley，where Tom could not follow it. "Oh，what a pity，Dot，" he said. "The calf is lost now.It will disappear into the bush.But give me your hand.We must go home！"
Tom now tried to find his way home.He felt sure he could easily get home，for they had only gone a little way into the bush.They walked on and on，and Dot got very tired.Tom took his friend or his back，and carried him for a long way. "Oh，how thick the smoke is！" said Dot.There had been smoke in the air all day，but now it was very thick.The fire had to be getting closer.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went home together.One day，Robert and Henry were going home from school，when，on turning a corner，Robert cried out， "A fight!Let's go and see!"
"No." said Henry. "Let us go quietly home and not meddle with（插手）this quarrel.We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me."
"You are a coward（懦夫），and afraid to go，" said Robert，and off he ran.Henry went straight home，and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward，and they laughed at him a great deal.From then on，they looked down upon Henry and didn't want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior，because he knew that they misunderstood him，and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus，he just ignored（忽略）the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well.However，Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead，he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school，they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later，Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river，and got out of his depth.He struggled and cried for help，but he failed.The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could，but they did nothing to help him.
Paragraph 1
It seemed as if Robert would be dying.
Paragraph 2
Thus，Robert's life was saved.

We went to Darjelling during the summer holidays and booked a cottage （农舍） for our stay.Our cook Gopi came with us because we could not do without home﹣cooked meals.
Usually all the shopping was done by our home help ﹣ Bharat，who had accompanied （陪伴） us to our holiday destination.However，one early evening， my mother decided to do all the vegetable shopping by herself.She believed that Bharat did not wait to check the really fresh items and instead，bought randomly in a hurry.As a result，the vegetables he brought back were not fresh.
After getting ready，she took her favorite purse with quite an amount of money，thinking she could go to other shops too after finishing at the vegetable market.My mother asked Bharat to get a rickshaw for her and on reaching the market，she asked the rickshaw wallah （人力车车夫） to wait for her.She took a coolie and did her shopping happily，choosing some of the freshest green vegetables available there.At last，her shopping was done.She returned to the rickshaw and sat on it while the coolie put all the things my mother had bought onto the rickshaw.
On reaching home，Bharat took all the packets of vegetables inside and my mother quickly paid the rickshaw wallah and got off，forgetting to collect her purse from the seat of the rickshaw.The rickshaw wallah left soon after saying goodbye to my mother.All of us greeted my mother and asked her about her evening of shopping with much delight.
Then we began to help my mother prepare our dinner.My father came to help chop the meat；I helped wash the vegetables；we were talking and laughing.When dinner was about to be announced，it was late in the evening，almost 9 p.m.

One never knows what one is going to find when one steps out into the world.Even something as simple as a walk through your neighborhood can result in either mild excitement or unusual adventure if the cards are right.
On a sunny afternoon，Mike journeyed into the construction site near his home.Suddenly，he heard something coming from around the side of a nearby building.It sounded like the whining（悲嚎声）cries of an animal.He curiously turned the corner，only to see a small dog standing on its back legs and wagging its tail pitifully.He then noticed that the poor thing seemed to be stuck at the waist between a small concrete wall and an even smaller broken wooden fence.
The poor animal's difficult situation was pretty obvious and Mike knew that if he did nothing and left the dog there，it might not survive.He had no idea how long the animal had been there up until that point.It might not have eaten or drunk anything in days.Determined to help，he looked around to find a stick，proceeded to climb up onto the cement slab and pointed his stick back at the dog.He was trying to pry（撬动）above the animal by insert the stick between the cement wall and the smaller，broken wall，but the terrified animal obviously didn't know his intention and attempted to bite at the tool and barked at him fearfully.The fright in its eyes said everything.
After at least a minute or so of trying to free the dog，Mike found his plan much more difficult in practice than it had stayed inside his own head.The hot sun was beating down.Drops of sweat running down his face，Mike sat down on the ground and scratched his head with annoyance，thinking about what in the world his next move was going to be.Beside him，the dog curled up into a ball，whining miserably.

The cost of a smile
Kathy was a young woman in her 20's who worked in a small restaurant as a waitress.One day，as she went about her shift（轮班）with her usual angry look，a kind old man walked in and sat down at the counter.He read the menu and politely told her what he wanted.
Kathy took his order and yelled，"Your food will be ready soon." As she turned to leave，the man said，"A smile costs nothing".Kathy rolled her eyes at him and walked away.
She brought his order，cleared his plates，and gave him the bill，for which he left a nice tip.
Each time the old man saw her，he smiled and thanked her.This only made her angrier.
A week went by，and every day the man came for lunch and the same thing happened.And each time Kathy took his order he would say，"A smile costs nothing."
But a week later，Kathy picked up a menu，wrote the words "1 SMILE...﹩20" at the bottom，and placed it on the counter for the kind old man to see.He came，and Kathy waited for his reaction as he read the menu.The old man ordered his usual and added，"……and a smile，if you don't mind".Kathy was so surprised.She laughed out loud，"Now，now ..." The man jokingly scolded.
"I ordered a smile，not a laugh".So Kathy put on a bright smile and said， "Coming right up，sir." And to her surprise，he left ﹩20 tip!
A few years went by，and the two bonded like family.Charlie，the kind old man，was a retired manager whose wife passed away long ago.He spent most of his time at home，with the exception of his frequent restaurant visits.Every day Kathy spent her break talking to him.

7．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A boulder（巨石），as big as a house.That's how the guidebook described Giant Rock.Dad said it arrived here millions of years ago.I was finally going to see it，in snowshoes，with my two older cousins，my dad，and my uncle Don.I'd been snowshoeing before，and I liked the adventure of hiking through deep snow.
At the parking area，after putting on our snowshoes，we studied the map.Due to the geographical location，electrical devices are inaccessible here.The map is our only guide. "We start here，" Dad said，" on the red trail（小路）.Then we turn left onto the purple road.That's where Giant Rock is." "Remember to stick together and don't wander off，guys，" Uncle Don said.
The trail ran uphill alongside a stone wall.It was easy to follow because red markers were nailed to the trees and the snow had been packed down by other hikers.At the top of the hill，we turned onto the purple trail.We settled into a pattern，with Dad and everyone else in front and me in the back，crunching（嘎吱嘎吱地踩）through the snow.I saw lots of animal tracks — mostly deer，squirrel，and rabbit prints.As the trail wound down，my cousin Andrew said what I'd been thinking ："Will we ever reach Giant Rock？" My cousin Aiden smiled and turned to me， "Luke，do you think your dad invented this idea just to get us away from the TV for a while？" I laughed. "You never know."
Finally，we climbed a hill and saw the massive boulder sitting alone in the forest.It really is as big as a house!My cousins and I high five each other and jogged until we stood at the base，breathless.Standing in the boulders broad shadow，I noticed the sun had sunk lower.
"Let's head back，"Dad said after a few minutes. "There will be several crossroads on the way back.Guys，keep up with the team." Soon we were crunch﹣crunch﹣crunching our way home.I was a little behind the group when we approached a crossroads.And I noticed a set of animal tracks I didn't recognize，so I followed them for a closer look.

The sea's surprise
Jim and Andy walked along the beach，looking for an adventure.They joked that some day they would find a talking fish or a mermaid or a bottle with a treasure map inside.So far they had only found shells and rocks and seaweed.Today though was different.The boys felt excited.
Sea crabs scampered on the rocks.Up one side and down the other.They were quick and lively.The tide didn't seem to ever wash them away.Then Jim saw a fish.It was stranded on the beach，just flopping around.
"Can it talk？" Andy asked.
"It looks like any other fish，" Jim said.He picked it up gently and carried it to the water.
"Do you think it will grant us any wishes？" Andy laughed.
The boys watched as the silver fish sped off through the water."No.Maybe next time." Jim grinned.
As the two friends walked farther down the beach they came upon a bottle.It was green with a cork in the mouth.
"Our luck will change.Does it have a map inside or a genie？" joked Andy.
Andy reached down and picked up the bottle.He rubbed it.Nothing happened.He pulled on the cork.Nothing happened.He shook it.Nothing happened.
"Try the cork again.I bet the genie is waiting for us to release him.Or we'll find a treasure map and have a real adventure，" Jim exclaimed.
Andy tugged again on the cork.He wiggled it back and forth.He twisted it around and around.Finally it popped out without breaking.Andy shook the bottle.Nothing came out.Looking inside he couldn't see anything.Jim looked too and shook his head.Empty.
"It's just an old wine bottle，" Jim complained.He grabbed the bottle and tossed it back onto the sand.

A couple of years ago，just as I do every winter，I bagged up all the items in my closet that I no longer wore，along with the clothes my sons had outgrown.I issued a call to action to all of my family and friends，asking them to do the same.It is always my hope to repurpose those things that do nothing more than take up space in our homes，things others might make better use of.
I found an old，ugly pair of hand﹣woven socks in one of the bags donated（捐赠）by a friend.Not to be mean，but they were an unpleasant mixture of colored yarn：orange，purple，yellow and blue.I had to decide﹣garbage or donation？It wasn't like they were unusable.I imagine they were a homemade gift gone bad.
I put the ugly socks in the garbage，but ten minutes later，I took them back and put them in the donation pile.Later that afternoon，my mother and I drove down to Madison Avenue in downtown Phoenix.Every winter we load up my jeep with our own cast﹣offs and the donations from friends，and we take them downtown，along with food and water，to distribute（分发）them to the men and women living on the street.Sometimes I even get my boys involved.
On this particular afternoon，as Mom and I distributed warm clothes and hot food to a small crowd of people outside a local homeless shelter，I reached into the bag and pulled out the last of the donations the ugly socks.Just as I was about to drop the socks back into the empty bag，laughing at myself for even bringing them along for the ride，a teenage boy came to me.
"Can I please have those socks？" he asked，his blue eyes sparkling in the sun.
My eyebrows lifted.I'm ashamed to say it but I was still a little embarrassed by the donation and disappointed that we hadn't anything left to give him except for those socks.
Paragraph 1：
"Of course，" I replied，handing the boy the thick，ugly，hand﹣woven socks.______________
Paragraph 2：
"Thank you so much，Ma'am！" he smiled._________________________________________

My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart，and we once shared many happy moments.She liked telling jokes to me and I would laugh heartily.She always said she loved my laughter and it was the most impressive sound for her.But by the time we were teenagers we had years without speaking and lost touch due to family breaking.By age 19，I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father's horse farm in Virginia.Jeanne got married at 20，moved to Chicago，and became—well，I didn't know what.We lived separate lives in separate states，and our connection somehow ended.
Fast forward about five years.I was 24 and on a trip with my best friend to New York City，a place I had never been to.It was so different from my hometown.I was used to riding my horse to the corner store where everyone knew everyone and everything went on in the quiet little cowboy town of Driver，Virginia.We went to New York to visit my friend's cousin and see the sights.We went to Little Italy，the Statue of Liberty，Chinatown，and several Manhattan clubs.I had never seen so many taxis in one spot in all my life.
During a day of sightseeing，we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people.Everyone was in a hurry.I was laughing at something my friend just said，and then I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me："Cheryl！"The voice was so familiar.I froze in my steps in the middle of the road.Tears welled up spontaneously（不由自主地）in my eyes.I knew without a shadow of a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne.I yelled back before even turning to look."Jeanne？"
It was her."Oh my！"I screamed，and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her.The crowd started to part—even by New York standards，we must have seemed crazy.And there we were，standing in the middle of a Manhattan street，facing each other and smiling.I couldn't believe it.

12．"Good for you，" said the middle﹣aged woman in the swimsuit as I walked by."I see you out here swimming，practicing hard every day." I smiled politely and thanked her.
It was mid﹣August and she was probably the fifth or sixth person in that summer to make this type of comment（评论）on me.I was one of a handful of people who went to the lake almost every day to swim and I'd never heard anyone praise the other swimmers.If I had to guess，I would say that no one would have commented if I had weighed 120 pounds.But as someone who weighed more than twice that，I was sure I stood out.More than likely these people were well meaning，but whenever someone would say "Good for you" or "Way to go"，I would hear "Wow…you're pretty active for a 'fat' girl！"
A few summers before，these types of comments would have upset me a lot more.Actually，a few summers before I would even have considered not swimming at that lake.It was not that I wouldn't have loved to.Ever since I was old enough to walk，the water was my favorite place.When I was young，my parents would take me to the lake，and I always got angry when other kids wanted me to play in the sand or on the playground.We had this huge body of water to play in.Why would we want to be on the shore？At that age，I wasn't embarrassed to be seen in a swimsuit as a fat kid，but there were other fat kids.It didn't seem to matter.
As I grew up.I was more self﹣conscious（难为情的）.I would still enjoy a swim，but I was quick to reach for a cover﹣up or a towel to wrap around myself as soon as I came out from the water.Even in regular clothes，I sometimes felt self﹣conscious﹣like everyone was looking at how big I was and silently judging me.It was a little easier when I was around the people that I trusted.My friend Mary，had a pool in her back yard and sometimes she strongly advised me to go for a swim.

One hot summer day，my heart was becoming cold as I pulled into Dirk's driveway. _____________

Hearing her words，I found a huge burn mark running through her entire back. _________________
13．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要．
Every summer，hundreds of thousands of students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure．Most of the chances are inseasonal work，mainly connected with tourism and agriculture．The pay is usually poor，but most people work abroad for the thrill（令人兴奋的经历）of travel．You can pick grapes in France，work on a family campsite，entertain kids on American summer camps，and of course，there are always jobs in hotels and restaurants．
But it is not as easy as it used to be to find work． "Unless you speak the language of the country，there will be very few openings，" says Anthea Ellis，an adviser on vacation work for students． "If you work as a nanny with a family in Italy，then of course you'll have to speak Italian．When you want to wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris，the owner will expect you to speak French．"
Not everyone enjoys the experience．Sarah James was an assistant responsible for a summer camp group of forty American children in Europe．One child lost his passport；another became seriously ill and was sent home；four children were lost in Madrid for a whole day；the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the noise they made． "I did visit a lot of new places，" she says， "but it wasn't worth it．The pay was awful and it was really a 24﹣hour﹣a﹣day job．The kids never slept!"
In practice，all vacation work is informal work．You'll have a job when the hotel，the restaurant，or the campsite is busy and you have few employment rights．As soon as the holiday season is finished，they'll get rid of you．If you don't work hard，or if your employer doesn't like you，you'll get fired．Therefore，think twice before you make decisions to travel abroad．

"I'll treat you today，" said the man．He brought her a bowl of noodles，the smell so attractive．As she was eating，Jenny cried silently． "What is it？" asked the man kindly．"Actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears． "Even a stranger will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother drove me out of the house．" Hearing the words，the man smiled， "I only gave you a bowl of noodles．But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby．Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your thankfulness to her？"
Jenny sat there，speechless；she remembered her mother's familiar face．"A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful．Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me？" On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home．

She waited for a long time before the pharmacist（药剂师）turned around and asked her，"What do you want？"
"Well，it's about my brother，" Michelle answered，"He's really sick.And I want to buy a miracle."
"I beg your pardon？" said the pharmacist.
"His name is Jack.And he has something very bad growing inside his body.And my daddy says only a miracle can save him now.So how much does a miracle cost？"
"We don't sell miracles here，little girl.I am sorry，but I can't help you." the pharmacist said.
"Listen，I have the money to pay for it." With these words，Michelle poured out all the coins from her pocket.
At this time，a well﹣dressed man behind Michelle stooped down stairs and asked the little girl， "I am selling the miracle you want.Tell me how much money you have."
"One dollar and eleven cents，" Michelle answered in a low voice，"That's all the money I have.But I can get some more if I need to."

One morning in December，Tom Carr was playing with his friend Dot as usual in the yard.Tom was nine years old，and Dot was seven.Tom took very great care of his friend.
Then a man who Tom knew rode into the yard in panic.It was Mr.May，who lived at the next station，where there is a big farm. "Fire！" he cried to Tom's father，Mr.Carr. "Fire！One of the worst fire I've ever seen in my e along，Carr. "
Mr.Carr called his men out.In an hour or so Mrs.May and her baby drove up.Tom and Dot ran to meet them. "Thank you，dear，" she said. "The smoke is so bad at home that I was afraid it would choke（呛）the baby. "
She went to the house，and Tom and Dot were following her，when Tom stopped. "Look there，Dot. " he said. "The brown calf（小牛）has gotten out of the yard！" The men were in such a hurry to fight the fire that they forgot to close the gate，and the brown calf was running away.Tom ran at once to bring the calf back，and Dot ran after him.
About half a mile from the farm yard the open land came to an end，and the bush began.The calf ran into the trees，and the children followed.The trees were not thick at first，and it was very easy to follow the brown calf through the bushes.But the calf ran into a deep valley，where Tom could not follow it. "Oh，what a pity，Dot，" he said. "The calf is lost now.It will disappear into the bush.But give me your hand.We must go home！"
Tom now tried to find his way home.He felt sure he could easily get home，for they had only gone a little way into the bush.They walked on and on，and Dot got very tired.Tom took his friend or his back，and carried him for a long way. "Oh，how thick the smoke is！" said Dot.There had been smoke in the air all day，but now it was very thick.The fire had to be getting closer.

"No." said Henry. "Let us go quietly home and not meddle with（插手）this quarrel.We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me."
"You are a coward（懦夫），and afraid to go，" said Robert，and off he ran.Henry went straight home，and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward，and they laughed at him a great deal.From then on，they looked down upon Henry and didn't want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior，because he knew that they misunderstood him，and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus，he just ignored（忽略）the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well.However，Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead，he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school，they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later，Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river，and got out of his depth.He struggled and cried for help，but he failed.The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could，but they did nothing to help him.

An 80﹣year﹣old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45﹣year﹣old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched（栖息）on their window.
The father asked his son，"What is this？" The son replied，"It is a crow."
After a few minutes，the father asked his son for the second time，"What is this？" The son said，"Father，I have just now told you，it's a crow！"
After a little while，the old father again asked his son for the third time，"What is this？"
At this time some expression of irritation（恼怒）was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff（生硬回绝）."It's a crow，a crow." A little while later，the father again asked his son the fourth time，"What is this？"
This time，the son shouted at his father，"Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again，although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'．Are you not able to understand this？"
A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（发皱的）diary，which he had maintained since his son was born.On opening a page，he asked his son to read that page.When the son read it，the following words were written in the diary：
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa，when a crow was sitting on the window.My son asked me 23 times what it was，and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son."

One never knows what one is going to find when one steps out into the world.Even something as simple as a walk through your neighborhood can result in either mild excitement or unusual adventure if the cards are right.
On a sunny afternoon，Mike journeyed into the construction site near his home.Suddenly，he heard something coming from around the side of a nearby building.It sounded like the whining（悲嚎声）cries of an animal.He curiously turned the corner，only to see a small dog standing on its back legs and wagging its tail pitifully.He then noticed that the poor thing seemed to be stuck at the waist between a small concrete wall and an even smaller broken wooden fence.
The poor animal's difficult situation was pretty obvious and Mike knew that if he did nothing and left the dog there，it might not survive.He had no idea how long the animal had been there up until that point.It might not have eaten or drunk anything in days.Determined to help，he looked around to find a stick，proceeded to climb up onto the cement slab and pointed his stick back at the dog.He was trying to pry（撬动）above the animal by insert the stick between the cement wall and the smaller，broken wall，but the terrified animal obviously didn't know his intention and attempted to bite at the tool and barked at him fearfully.The fright in its eyes said everything.
After at least a minute or so of trying to free the dog，Mike found his plan much more difficult in practice than it had stayed inside his own head.The hot sun was beating down.Drops of sweat running down his face，Mike sat down on the ground and scratched his head with annoyance，thinking about what in the world his next move was going to be.Beside him，the dog curled up into a ball，whining miserably.

Eventually，with the few well﹣positioned pieces of wood，Mike managed to insert his stick in the right way.A little unsteadily，the animal got to its feet and pulled itself out fully. "Yes！" The rescuer exclaimed in excitement，unable to deal with blood dropping off his hand—he was injured while saving the dog.Behind him，the dog wagged its tail furiously and sniffed at his feet，happy to be free.Mike knelt down and stroked the dog，saying "Go home，boy！" Seeing the dog disappear in the distance，Mike continued his way，bathed in the warm sunshine.

Kathy took his order and yelled，"Your food will be ready soon." As she turned to leave，the man said，"A smile costs nothing".Kathy rolled her eyes at him and walked away.
She brought his order，cleared his plates，and gave him the bill，for which he left a nice tip.
Each time the old man saw her，he smiled and thanked her.This only made her angrier.
A week went by，and every day the man came for lunch and the same thing happened.And each time Kathy took his order he would say，"A smile costs nothing."
But a week later，Kathy picked up a menu，wrote the words "1 SMILE...﹩20" at the bottom，and placed it on the counter for the kind old man to see.He came，and Kathy waited for his reaction as he read the menu.The old man ordered his usual and added，"……and a smile，if you don't mind".Kathy was so surprised.She laughed out loud，"Now，now ..." The man jokingly scolded.
"I ordered a smile，not a laugh".So Kathy put on a bright smile and said， "Coming right up，sir." And to her surprise，he left ﹩20 tip!
A few years went by，and the two bonded like family.Charlie，the kind old man，was a retired manager whose wife passed away long ago.He spent most of his time at home，with the exception of his frequent restaurant visits.Every day Kathy spent her break talking to him.

A boulder（巨石），as big as a house.That's how the guidebook described Giant Rock.Dad said it arrived here millions of years ago.I was finally going to see it，in snowshoes，with my two older cousins，my dad，and my uncle Don.I'd been snowshoeing before，and I liked the adventure of hiking through deep snow.
At the parking area，after putting on our snowshoes，we studied the map.Due to the geographical location，electrical devices are inaccessible here.The map is our only guide. "We start here，" Dad said，" on the red trail（小路）.Then we turn left onto the purple road.That's where Giant Rock is." "Remember to stick together and don't wander off，guys，" Uncle Don said.
The trail ran uphill alongside a stone wall.It was easy to follow because red markers were nailed to the trees and the snow had been packed down by other hikers.At the top of the hill，we turned onto the purple trail.We settled into a pattern，with Dad and everyone else in front and me in the back，crunching（嘎吱嘎吱地踩）through the snow.I saw lots of animal tracks — mostly deer，squirrel，and rabbit prints.As the trail wound down，my cousin Andrew said what I'd been thinking ："Will we ever reach Giant Rock？" My cousin Aiden smiled and turned to me， "Luke，do you think your dad invented this idea just to get us away from the TV for a while？" I laughed. "You never know."
Finally，we climbed a hill and saw the massive boulder sitting alone in the forest.It really is as big as a house!My cousins and I high five each other and jogged until we stood at the base，breathless.Standing in the boulders broad shadow，I noticed the sun had sunk lower.
"Let's head back，"Dad said after a few minutes. "There will be several crossroads on the way back.Guys，keep up with the team." Soon we were crunch﹣crunch﹣crunching our way home.I was a little behind the group when we approached a crossroads.And I noticed a set of animal tracks I didn't recognize，so I followed them for a closer look.
