For some c

There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one su

30、ore time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏) bread, vegetables and other things not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that something bad sho

31、uld happen.”Why then does snow havethis effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians dont have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough plan and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs

32、and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital education or helping the old.56.

The dirty yard outside was overgrown with weeds (雜草). Maria liked to look at the weeds. Small flowers would grow, followed by

36、 seed balls. And the seed carriers would fly away. The late afternoon sunlight died into night. Turning on the light, Maria picked up her colored pencils and notepaper.

38、ht colors, their strange shapes, and their fresh, crispy taste before being cooked. She would have loved to garden herself, but it was hard for her to sit on the ground and work. As they ate and talked about their day, Papa told Maria that his brother, Ramon, would be coming over the next day to hel

39、p him with a special project. Papa had asked Mr. Yamato, the bus driver, to take her to Aunt Gabriela s house after school. Then Papa would pick her up when the project was finished. Maria wondered why she had to be away while he worked. There was something in Papas eyes and in his voice, perhaps -t

40、hat told her not to ask. When Papa brought her home the next evening, he asked her to close her eyes while he took her to the glass door. She heard him open the curtain. Then he said, Open your eyes. Surely she was dreaming! The tall crowd of weeds was gone. In its place was a beautiful garden. Ther

41、e were young trees, flowery bushes, and colorful little flowers. Papa opened the glass door. He wheeled Maria to a path that placed her at the heart of the little garden.
