Ⅶ. 阅读理解(每小题2分，共20分)

A

Tuesday, Jan. 6, 9:50 p.m.

We were sitting in our warm living room. The TV was on, and everything was peaceful. Suddenly the light went on and off for a few times and then went out completely. Then the rain started, and everything went black. We found the flashlight and some candles and went to bed.

Wednesday, Jan. 7, 7:30 a.m.

My first thought after waking up was that it was pretty cold in my bedroom. Clearly, the power (电力供应) didn’t come back. After one look out of the window, I felt even sadder: it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder. We had no idea when the power would come back, so my wife started a fire in the fireplace.

Thursday, Jan. 8, 12:30 p.m.

The snow started. The poor trees now had to carry the heavy snow. The storm seemed to last (持续) and we had nothing to do but stay at home.

Friday, Jan. 9, 6:00 p.m.

Still no power. Even though we lit (点燃) a few candles, it was still difficult to do anything in their weak light. I was sitting near several candles, but I had trouble reading.

Saturday, Jan. 10, 1:00 p.m.

The storm stopped this morning, and I drove my car to look for an open store. The trees along the roads were broken. I only bought the most necessary things: bread, some fruit, more drinking water and batteries (电池) for the flashlight. On my way home, the power came back and people were very happy.

Hi, everyone!

I have the most exciting news to share with you. I won first prize in the national English writing competition last month. When I heard the news, I was at the airport with my mother, waiting for my father. At that time, we were very excited. I jumped up and down happily. Five minutes later, my father got off the plane. We told him the exciting news at once. Father was also excited and we went to a big restaurant for dinner to celebrate. How happy we were!
