A Move to Safety

    The Turners sat at the kitchen table. The sun was shining and filled the kitchen with a warm light. It was a perfect day for having a picnic or going surfing. But in the Turners' kitchen, no one seemed to be paying attention to the 1 .

    "Okay, girls," said Mrs. Turner. "I can tell by the expressions on your faces that you have a pretty good idea of why we need to have this family 2 ." Linda and Kala exchanged looks and slowly nodded.

    "Your mom and I have had many talks lately about the possibility of 3 ," said Mr. Turner. "We were hoping that it wouldn't come to this, 4 we don't have other choices."

    "But Dad," said Kala, "Kilauea has been an active volcano(火山)since 1983! Nothing has happened to us or to our house yet. I think we'll be 5 here."

    "But your dad and I care about all the recent warnings giving by the government. Even though we've been safe up to now, there is no way to guarantee(保证)that a larger eruption(喷发)isn't coming up," said Mrs. Turner.

    "Mom, this is our   6 . I can't even remember living anywhere else!" Linda said, fighting back tears.

    Mrs. Turner put an arm around her daughter's shoulder. "This won't go 7 for any of us," she said. "Dad and I love this house, too. We have so many happy memories here. But we're tired of living with such uncertainty. The most 8 thing in the world to us is that our family stays safe."

    Mr. Turner 9 . "Girls, there are other places in Hawaii where we'll feel safer. We'll have to 10 our house, but you know home is wherever we go as a family. We'll make new 11 , and we'll find things to love about our new home."

    The girls were quiet for a moment as they considered 12 it would mean to move. "There are so many things I'll 13 here," said Kala quietly.

    "We all will," said Mrs. Turner. "But one of the places that your dad and I have looked at is only a few minutes' walk to the beach."

    Kala and Linda couldn't help 14 when they heard that. They both spent every spare minute they had surfing. If their parents told them that they could actually live in the water, they would have been perfectly happy.

    Mr. Turner walked around to the other side of the table. He put one large hand on each of his daughter's shoulders. "I'm proud of you two," he said. "Thank you for trying to 15 why this is so important to your mom and me."

    Linda and Kala smiled. Dad was right: home was wherever the family was.

①Is the summer vacation long enough to turn life for the better? Every person has his own talents and interests. Find something you care about, and you will see the difference.

②Organize a clean-up program. People often throw litter in the place where there is already litter. This leaves the community in a mess. The environment will become better if someone volunteers to help. You could pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week in your neighborhood. You could also help take care of the plants every few days. Surely, a clean and tidy neighborhood will be worth the work.

③Show your love to the old. Our city has some old people's homes. Without children around them, the old people there might feel lonely once in a while. Maybe they need your help. In fact, you can do a lot for them. For example, you can talk with them or play games with them. Listening to them carefully is also a good idea. Some old people can't see clearly and they would like you to read to them. No matter what small things you do, you can make them feel loved.

④Set up a reading project with your friends. Share your favorite books with them. Besides, you may read aloud to each other and talk about what you read. Either a book or an article can spark a lively discussion and your further thinking. The process often challenges more people to take action. The project is also a good way to welcome newcomers. At the same time, you may find new friends with similar hobbies.

⑤A two-month summer vacation isn't that long, but it's enough to make a difference.

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 When I was about five, like most children, I was curious(好奇的) to everything. Sitting in front of my crayons, I wanted to" discover" what was inside them. So I cut them in two. Disappointedly, I found nothing but more crayon inside of them. When I was a little older, I was interested in the inner parts of pens, televisions and so on. In fact, my childhood interest in the building blocks(构成要素) of things led me to work in engineering. 

I spent six years as part of the team that designed   the Shard — the 2nd highest building in Europe. After   having explored the big, I decided to turn to the small. I realized it was the seven key elements form the basis of the modern world: the spring, the pump, string, the nail, the wheel, the lens and the magnet. They have created and changed our technology, which have also had a big influence on our history, society, communication, transportation, arts and culture. For example, the speaker on my phone through which I could hear the voices depended on a magnet. Even as I thought about more larger objects — factories, cars, satellites and so on — again and again, I came back to the same seven key elements. 

 Look around yourself and ask questions about what you see: awaken that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, this will encourage you to explore the world of engineering, and is something which will lead you to form a better understanding of the building blocks of our world.
