Danger at Scituate Lighthouse
Rebecca stood by her father, looking out the windows of Scituate Lighthouse. Low sand dunes(沙丘) with sea grass topped the Massachusetts beach. There were no clouds in the sky—nothing at all to give warning of the danger that was sailing toward them.
"Now, Rebecca, " Mr. Bates began, gazing out across the open sea, "I want you and Abigail to help your mother and take care of things while I go to town for food and supplies. I won’t be gone long. "
"We’ll help, " Rebecca promised.
"I know I can count on you. "
Still, Mr. Bates looked a little worried about leaving the lighthouse. After all, peace between the US and the UK had not yet been declared, even though the war of 1812 was nearly over. Although English warships used to frequently attack towns along the coast—including Scituate—no English soldiers had been sighted for a long time. Besides, Rebecca thought as she watched her father set off, the family would soon starve if he didn’t go for food.
Her father hadn’t been gone long when Rebecca happened to look out the window at the ocean. What she saw nearly made her heart stop. It was an enemy ship: a small, light-gunned British warship. Calling for her mother, she grabbed her father’s telescope and could just make out the name painted on the side: La Hogue.
Rebecca, Abigail, and their mother stood together, frightened, as they watched the ship sail closer. Mother told the girls to watch the ship while she tried to sound the alarm and warn the home guard in the nearby village. The girls watched helplessly as the great ship drew near. Two small boats were lowered off the side, and Rebecca knew the boats would come ashore quickly.
It was time to run. As they ran down the lighthouse stairs, Rebecca suddenly stopped when she saw her fife(橫笛). Oh my! She thought. It just might work… Rebecca grabbed the fife and the drum(鼓) that Abigail had been learning to play.
Paragraph 1：
She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it.

Paragraph 2：
The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be coming from the confident American soldiers.

【題目】 We just waved goodbye to this year's Mother's Day.【1】, but there are still things you might not know about Mother's Day.
The founder fought back.
Although Julia Ward Howe first suggested a day for mothers, Anna Jarvis campaigned for a national day for moms, in memory of her own mother, Ann Jarvis, who had spent years working to provide resources for poor mothers in West Virginia.【2】, but within a few years, Jarvis became annoyed with how commercial the day had become and started a petition（請愿）to cancel the holiday.（That clearly didn't come to pass.）
It is an active day on the phone lines.

Finding a New Spring
A tradesman was leading a caravan（商隊）to another country【1】（sell） his goods. Along the way they came to the edge of a severe hot-sand desert. They learnt that during the daytime the sun heats up the fine sand until it's as hot as charcoal, so no one can walk on it--not even bullocks（小公牛）or camels! So the caravan leader hired a desert guide, one who could follow the stars, so they could travel only at night when the sand cools down. They began the dangerous night-time journey across the desert.【2】couple of nights later, after eating their evening meal, and waiting for the sand to cool, they started out again.
Later that night, the desert guide,【3】was driving the first cart, saw from the stars that they were getting close to the other side of the desert. He had also overeaten, so that when he relaxed, he fell asleep. Then the bullocks who, of course, couldn't tell【4】（direct）by reading the stars,【5】（gradual）turned to the side and went in a big wide circle until they arrived at the same place they had started from! By then it was morning, and the people realized they were back at the same spot. They lost heart and began to cry about their condition. Since the desert crossing was supposed to be over by then, they had no more water and were afraid they would die of【6】（thirsty）. They even began to blame the caravan leader and the desert guide.
However, the leader【7】（he）didn't lose courage. He began walking back and forth,【8】（try）to think out a plan. Remaining alert, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a small clump of grass. He thought,“【9】water, no plant could live in this desert.” So he asked his fellow travelers to dig up the ground on that very spot. They dug and dug, and after a while they got down to a large stone. He got down into the hole, put his ear to the stone, and heard the sound of flowing water.
A spring【10】（find）. All the people were overjoyed.
