　　Hill Thomas, mayor of the town of Stool, Wisconsin, had a neighbor the Frosts．They were on very good terms．

　　One weekend the Forests went to Illinois on holiday, before which Mr Forest had e-mailed to Hill telling him that it would be a week before they came back and asking him to look after his house．

　　On the fifth night after the Forests went vacationing, it snowed heavily in and around Stool until 5 the next morning and the small town turned world of snow overnight．

　　The next morning, Hill and his got up early to clear up the snow around his house, because every inhabitant shall clear snow 4 meters around before 9 a.m., according to the local law; otherwise, they would be punished．

閱讀理解：

　　Several years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard．After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table．That’s when it happened：my father did not reach for the check．

　　Conversation continued．Finally I realized that I should pick up the check!After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed．I reached for the check, and my view of myself suddenly changed．I was an adult．I was no longer a kid．

　　Some people mark off(區(qū)分)their lives in years, I measure mine in small events．I didn’t become a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me “mister．” These events in my life are called “milestones”(里程碑)

　　There have been other milestones．The cops(policemen)of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was．Then one day they were suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was．They were just big kids．With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player．Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it．

　　I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did．Now it’s what I do best．I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean．I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra attract me．I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties．I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I fond myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject．I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, feel close to my ancestors(祖先)long gone, and echo my father in arguments with my son．I still lose…

　　One day I bought a house．One day－what a day!–I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father．I thought then it was a milestone for me．One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone．

　　At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting．He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill．The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray．

　　Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly．He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps．

　　As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before．

　　By the time he reached the small boat, a thick white mist(霧)had spread over the surface of the water．He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore．

　　The outer fringe(邊緣)of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly．All he could see was the enveloping whiteness．He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake．

　　Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings．Then the mist began to rise, slowly．It soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake．The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects．

　　The magic time had arrived．Dave raised his pole．Dawn was broken．He was excited with expectancy．
