My family lives very happily on a farm near a small town. My father always learns some information about weather through the TV, the Internet and newspapers.
One evening, he asked us to meet at the table after dinner. "I have some bad news," he said. "The weather reports on the television warned(警告)that we would face a typhoon tomorrow."
At 6.30 a.m. the next day, the winds started and the rain was falling heavily. There were new warnings that the sea level could go up as much as 5 meters.
The winds were terribly strong and tree branches were flying everywhere. Trees were falling down and the rain kept coming down.
Just after 10:30, the wind stopped suddenly-it was strangely calm and the sun was shining. Then the winds came howling(咆哮)again, but this time more rain fell. There were more flying things and the storm came in. Everything within 1 km of the coast was flooded-there was fish in the streets. Now the winds were dying down, but the rain was still falling.
After another two hours, the wind came to a stop at last. My home was in a mess and my mum burnt her arm when the hot water from the stove hit her skin. We were all frightened, but we were all safe, including the cat.

My grandfather did not live with us because he was a very busy man,helping the poor in a small town. But as the holidays drew near,he would take the train to visit his grandchildren for a few days during the winter vacation. My favorite part of the holiday was the trip my grandfather and I would make together every year on December 24. I love him for that.
Grandfather was the first one to own a radio in his town, a large box made of wood. He kept it in the Outer House, where he saw his patients and chatted with friends. My grandfather’s radio became the only way to learn the news of the Second World War.
He was also the first one to send a daughter(my mother)to college, an act that made the whole village surprised. For this reason, he was the person I could ask about anything. He knew
everything-----from the capital of France to how fish were able to breathe(呼吸）under the water.
This December 24, my grandfather andI walked together to Firpo’s. We discussed what to buy at Firpo’s as we walked. We ended up buying the fruitcake,the same as last year. Grandfather got me a cookie to eat on the way back. I asked grandfather a question that I 'd been thinking over for some time now. Why was Christmas called the Big day?
Grandfather was silent for a whole minute and when he finally spoke,his voice was slow. Christmas----the birthday of a very special soul, it was a day to grow big, he said.
“And how do you grow big in your heart, Grandfather?” I asked him.
He answered slowly and softly, as though I were the same age as he,”By doing something you think will make them happy. Something you don’t have to do, by putting their needs before yours at least once a day. It’s a good start for trying to live a big life.
1.When did grandfather go to visit his grandchildren?

C. He usually went when he was free. D. He usually went during winter holidays.

C. By chatting with others. D. By listening to grandfather.

B. The writer’s mother was sent to a college.
C. Grandfather helped the poor in the town.
D. Grandfather and the writer had a trip around.
4.What does the underlined words”drew” mean?
A. ended B. came C. painted D. caught
