In the morning, we went 【1】 along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two­-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.

However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran around but we could 【2】 no place to hide in.

But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o'clock, it stopped raining. We decided 【5】 up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.

This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit (精神).

21、Are you surprised to see one or two twins in your class? What about 28 sets of them?

Andover High School in Minnesota, USA, has applied for (申请) the Guinness Book of World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录大全), because it has 28 sets of twins among its students.

“Having 28 sets of twins at any school is really uncommon,” said Dr. Nancy Segal, a twins researcher (研究者) at the University of Minnesota. “There is no good explanation (解释)…. Maybe their parents eat well.”

Peyton Zapzalka, one of the twin sisters, said the twin students had their own way of life. “We think nothing of finishing each other’s words,” she said.

Brent and Nathan Strong are another pair of twins. The brothers have already won something. They were given two tickets by a school to a twins game this year. Brent and Nathan will go to university on baseball scholarship (奖金)。

“Brent and Nathan’s Mom is our little sister’s fifth-grade teacher,” said Peyton Zapzalka. “We’re all connected (联系), one way or another.”

One example: the Zapzalkas were born on July 22, 1994—the same day their twin classmates Matt and Mike Schultz were born—in the same hospital.

22、A steel bridge collapsed (倒塌) during evening rush hour. Dozens of cars fell down 60 feet into the Mississippi River. Ten people died, and more than 50 were seriously injured. The bridge was being repaired because it was found to be structurally deficient (结构缺陷), it needed to be repaired. Like many bridge throughout America, the bridge was built more than 40 years ago. Traffic was much lighter then. Nowadays, cars, buses, and big trucks cross the bridge every day, even late at night.

“I heard a terrific sound.” said Miss Turner. She ran out of her car to see what was happening. She saw cars falling into the river and heard people screaming. She heard the loud sounds of the bridge collapsing and sounds as the parts of the bridge and cars hit the water. “It was horrible,” she said.

Engineers had no explanation for the collapse. They said the bridge had been inspected recently. The report said that, although it was structurally deficient, the bridge was not unsafe. Since the report did not say that the ride was unsafe, he decision was to simply repair it at some locations.

Americans were shocked (震惊) that an American bridge could simply collapse. The news was all over TV, radio, and most newspapers. One newspaper survey showed that almost 10 percent (about 59,000) of America’s bridges were structurally deficient.

At first, some people thought that terrorists (恐怖分子) might have put a bomb (炸弹) into the bridge. One driver said that, before he drove over another bridge in America, he would make sure that a life jacket was in the front seat next to him.

24、   I enjoyed my 20-­day winter holiday at home in Hong Kong.

My flight from New York to Hong Kong was 15 hours long.I remember that my first 15-hour flight to New York never seemed to come to an end. Sitting in a crowded area with no clean air beside a stranger was no fun. However, by now I love the flights to Hong Kong very much. I know that I'm getting closer to home every second of every minute of every hour I spend on the plane.

My winter holiday this year was quite different from last year's. Last year it was my first year in the USA and I was so excited to be back in Hong Kong.I went out every day with my friends, and only went home in time for dinner with my family. My parents had planned to go to Thailand for a holiday, but I refused because I wanted to spend time with my friends in the city.

This year, to my parents' surprise, I quickly agreed to go somewhere else for a holiday. It's been over a year since I left my school in Hong Kong.This year, I found myself saying “no” to invitations to parties with friends.I decided that spending time with family was better than going out with friends. It is clear that we haven't become so close to each other. I am sad because I've lost some friends. But I still had a wonderful time at home with my family members.

I have found the joy, happiness and understanding in life along with the family.
