571.I woke to the sound of birds outside my window and lay in bed,going over the busy day ahead of me.Finally,I got up and attempted to switch on the light—nothing happened.I checked my phone.No Wi-Fi,no data.With our unstable cell service,there was no way of knowing if we had received alerts for a power failure.I grabbed a sweater,went downstairs,found a flashlight and a match to light the gas stove,and then boiled water to brew coffee.Outside the window,the falling snow obscured(遮蔽)the sunrise.Deep piles of snow covered the road.
My work meetings and deadlines,my sons' classes and tests,my husband's plans—everything would have to wait."Why does this happen today of all days?"I asked.Thankfully,the wood stove was still going strong.I took a deep breath.I supposed we had everything we needed.
The house was quiet as I sipped my coffee and cuddled(摟抱)our dog.One by one,my husband and sons came downstairs and complained about the turn the day had taken.
I opened the curtains to let light in.We gathered around the table and had cereal.After breakfast,my husband played a game of solitaire.Then my sons joined him in building a house of cards that reached three levels until our cat jumped up to investigate and knocked it down.We played a round of Scrabble and had my favorite snow day lunch:grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Then we took a long walk in the woods behind our house,walking along the stream.We spotted deer tracks and played in the snow that was coming down in big fluffy flakes.When we returned,all the clocks in the house were blinking.I started to make dinner,happy to have things back to normal—even better than normal.
It was a day that began without electricity,cut off from the rest of the world,and ended with hot chocolate and power restored.We were recharged by the unexpected gift of a day together.

"Let's go!We can make it back to the river we crossed today!" Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind.But Brady barked a sharp warning.Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track.They would never make it through that.The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke,and yet Steve was uneasy.It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.
Suddenly,Zach cried. "Zach!" Steve shouted. "Are you OK?Where are you?" Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡).At its base,Zach was rubbing his ankle.
As Steve helped his friend to his feet,Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind.Next moment,the dog bounded away and disappeared.The boys shouted for him,but he didn't come back.Steve couldn't blame Brady for panicking.He himself wanted to run even though he didn't have a clue which way.
Steve and Zach hadn't gone far when there was a familiar bark,and Brady came bounding,stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head,pushing him back toward the slope they'd just climbed.But Steve didn't get it.Then Brady grabbed the boy's jeans and started pulling.The message was clear,but Steve hesitated.Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle's life when the dog was much younger.Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?
Nearby,a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke.Brady pulled again,urgently. "OK,big guy," Steve gritted(咬緊牙關(guān)).Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees.Not far from them fire was touching underbrush.Several times the big dog stopped.Often he changed directions.Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest,but Brady wouldn't have it.The dog bullied both boys to go on.How long they'd walked Steve had no idea.He was almost numb when he heard it-the wonderful sound of rushing water!

That experience gave birth to an idea:What would it be like to try to learn how to play different violin styles around the world in just one week?Oh,yes,and at the end of that week,play a concert.He even got a name for the concept "musical extreme sports".
It took him almost two decades to launch that dream with a friend,who introduced him to the wonders of Kickstarter,a funding platform for creative projects.Up to now,the dream has taken the form of a new documentary currently airing on American public television stations called "Otherwise,It's Just Firewood."
In the documentary,Hoffman travels to County Clare,Ireland,where he takes lessons with James Kelly,a master Irish violin player,for less than a week and then performs together with him in front of an audience,many of whom are star Irish musicians.
The film is what Hoffman hopes will be the first of an eventual series of short documentaries,showing him learning to play the violin in a variety of styles,including the folk music of south India,Sweden,Greece,Romania,and West Virginia.
That would add to his extensive repertoire(全部曲目),which already includes Balkan,Middle Eastern,and Turkish styles."The big joke is what's the difference between the fiddle and the violin?It's the person who plays it," says Niall Keegan,a traditional flute player."It's the music you make on it that makes it Irish or English or French or classical or jazz or whatever else.It's how we imagine it and how we create through it that make it and give it character."
"Otherwise,it's just firewood," he says,words that became the film's title.
(1)Where does Hoffman's idea of musical extreme sports come from?
A.His exploration of the local music.
B.His cooperation with the young violinist.
C.His sightseeing tour on a motorbike seat.
D.His constantly changing taste in violin styles.
(2)According to the passage,the series of documentaries
A.help Hoffman to become a master violin player
B.a(chǎn)re funded by American public television stations
C.introduce different styles of musicians around the world
D.record Hoffman's experience in learning various violin styles
(3)The title of the documentary "Otherwise,It's Just Firewood" is used to emphasize
A.the power of diversified artistic expression
B.the pleasure in learning traditional music
C.the technique of instrument playing
D.the importance of famous artists發(fā)布:2025/1/1 15:0:2組卷:28引用:4難度:0.5580.Use body language in a way that is a
