It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie" s basement. As Iopened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, andold clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and therelay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
"Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing topaint. " She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and,immediately we got towork. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There onthe road in front of my house,we painted bit stripes(条纹) of colors across the pavement(人行道).Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was my mother. I couldn" t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the drive-way and from the look on my mother"s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.

I stood there glaring back at her for a minute,angry because she had insulted(侮辱) my art.
"Now go to clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as
I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. ! wonder if, maybewhen I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort ofrainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

The next time you try for a high-ranking post,you could let your possible boss listen to a recommen-ding(推荐)phone call "made" by US President George W.

Possible customers for the software, which is priced in the thousands of dollars, includes tele-phone call centers,companies that make software that reads digital(数字的) files aloud,and makers~"~ ,~

通读下面的短文,回答题。
Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way:her parentswere coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, shestarted to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired——maybe it hadn"t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herselfagainst a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away,Frank,43 ,and his girlfriend,Jennifer,found a spot close to where the frontof the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling," Oh, my God, she fell in!" Frankdidn"t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on therails. "No! Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds frome station.
It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raiseher the four feet to the platform
so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisabriefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone elseholding her purse.
Lisa thought she"d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stopthe blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn"t, and that was when sherealized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said herboyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown——just as he had been seconds after therescue,which made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinkinghe was going to die," she explained.

- B.She felt hot in the subway.
