On a rainy day in late August my family and I set out on a new trip. We traveled by car to Girdwood along the Turnagain Arm and were lucky enough to see Beluga whales on the way.

We parked at the Hotel Alyeska. We then traveled by van(小型货车) to the Portage station where we got on the train that would take us to the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop. It was a 20~25-minute train ride to Spencer Glacier where we got off the train and took a van to the lake.

We went across the lake in the kayaks. It is about 1.5 miles across the lake to the face of the glacier(冰川) . It was an experience to boat among the icebergs and to see the face of the glacier get closer and closer?

We were excited to begin our hike on the glacier. It was such a thrill walking on the glacier. It rained most of the day but it was still such a beautiful trip in a lifetime experience. After about two hours on the glacier we headed back to the kayaks. The guide took some pictures before we started back across the lake.

We were tired as it was an active day but we were also excited about the amazing trip we had at Spencer Glacier! Rain or shine, it is a journey I would love to do every year!

My husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.

One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.

Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, "Sir. Are yon hungry?" He said, "Yes." I then asked, "May we buy you something to eat?" He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself."

My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皱眉）, “Okay.”　 We turned to our table and the gentleman said loudly and quickly, " Thank You!" We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered, one fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.

When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn't see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.

1.What did the gentleman look like?

A.He was clean. B.He was wearing expensive clothes.

C.He dressed poorly. D.He was wearing beautiful shoes.

2.What did the writer do for the gentleman at the restaurant?

A.She said to the gentleman with a frown. B.She paid the meal for the gentleman.

C.She asked the gentleman to have dinner together. D.She ordered food for the gentleman.

3.How did the writer feel at the end of the story?

A.Successful. B.Glad. C.Angry. D.frightened.

• Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.

• The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient (食材). They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.

• The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start theday with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began thepreparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catchup. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottleof red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like Ineed to make home⁃made pasta to eat it!
