​ My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come b  86   to help harvest rice every year.

One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his a   87     in a traffic accident in 1999 to harvest his rice. After Father harvested our own, his little rice picker broke. What’s worse, he had to return to work the next day b   88    his partner was ill in hospital. It m   89    that Father wouldn’t be back in a few days. It now seemed i   90    to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn’t let the n   91    rice rot (糜烂) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand w   92    a machine. “If tonight’s weather is clear, I think I can do it.” added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner, Father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A f   93   moon was glowing in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night k   94   his word.

I would never f   95    the image：Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of rice stocks stood at attention, showing respect for a man who kept his word.

In the Charles E. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings（警报）about bad  weather.

   One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news:a heavy storm was coming. William Tomic, principal（校长）of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.

Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.

“The radio really did work very well.    _______________    （我们对它的工作感到很满意），”William Tomic said. “The parents were all right as well.” 

    The U.S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.

    Every year, more than 10,000 big thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes（龙卷风）and some hurricanes（飓风）take place in the U.S., so the waming radios are very useful.They not only give people warnings about bad weather, but also give warnings about other dangerous things.
