  Temperature is part of my married romance.Coming to New York from Baltimore-where there is just one small snowstorm each year-I was   1   by a fireplace in my new home, with fires   2   all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.

  My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario, where winter   3   from September to May and cold wind is   4  .“When Canadians have 30 below, they   5   it.”He says.“Cold wind is for crybabies.”

  So to marry this man I had to learn to   6   for serious cold.To get me from Baltimore's Inner Harbor to Albany's frozen Hudson, Peter piled me   7   jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps.The gift of Sorel boots-comfortably warm at Canada's 30 below, was a   8   we were getting serious.

  That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought I'd   9  .My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could   10   tie them.Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly.And there is also emotional   11   to cold.Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on   12   days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build   13  

    14  , having a warm house is important.After my first marriage ended, for years I   15   went on a second date with a man whose response to my“I'm cold.”was,“Put on a sweater.”Now I'm married to a man who   16   that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses.But surprisingly, I've grown, too.I am   17  , in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater.

  The word comfortable did not   18   refer to being contented.Its Latin root, comfortare, means to strengthen.The Holy Spirit is Comforter:not to make us comfortable, but to make us   19  .We   20   not be warm but we are indeed comforted.

  I’ve been working for Mrs.E one day a week for several months and I notice that she has some peculiar(古怪的)ways.Well, there was only one thing that really   1   me and that was her pocketbook habit.Not those little books, I mean her purse-her   2  

  She’s got a pocketbook with two long straps(皮带)on it and whenever I’d go there, she’d be propped up(坐直)in a chair with her handbag double wrapped   3   around her wrist, and from room to room she’d walk with that purse   4  .This happens every time! And there’s nobody there   5   her and me.I can say  6  to her! It’s her purse, and she can hold onto it if she wants to!

  I held my   7   for months, trying to   8   how I’d make my point.Well, bless Bess! Today is the day! I was   9   to go home when she stepped in the room   10   her bag as usual and said, “Mildred, will you ask the super(管理员)to   11   and fix the kitchen tap?” “Yes, Mrs.E…”I said, “as soon as I leave.”“Oh, no,” she says, “he may be gone   12   then.Please go now.”“All right,” I said, and   13   I went, still wearing ring my apron(围裙).

  I just went down the hall and   14   a few minutes, and then I rushed back to the door and knocked on it as   15   as I could.She flung open(猛开)the door saying, “What’s the matter? Did you see the super?” “No,” I said, gasping(喘气)hard for breath, “I was almost downstairs when I remembered…I   16  .”

  With that I dashed in, grabbed   17   and then went down to get the super! Later, when I was leaving, she said really   18  ,“Mildred, I hope that you don’t think I   19   you because…”“That’s all right, Mrs.E, I understand.Because if I paid anybody   20   you pay me, I’d hold my pocketbook too!”

读下面的短文,把方框内的数量词填入短文内

  Pinatubo awoke on   1  .Hot ash and gas flowed down the hillside and ash clouds rose   2   into the atmosphere.

  On the volcano’s slopes, seven cubic kilometers of pulverized(成粉末状)rock now lay in drifts(漂流)  3   feet thick, totally reshaping the landscape.

  One of the first dangers is falling debris(残骸)collecting on houses and causing roofs to collapse(塌陷).In fact that was the main killer for this eruption.The eruption had come with the annual Typhoons that regularly swept the Islands.Heavy rainfall hit the hot and loosely packed volcanic debris.It was to be the start of a terror(恐怖)that would kill the people here long after the eruption stopped.

  Imagine a truck delivering wet concrete(混凝土).But expand that material to   4   cubic meters of debris-all moving at the same time-and you have a Lahar(火山泥石流).

  40 kilometers downstream from Mount Pinetubo is the town of Bacalor.Years after the eruption stopped, this town still suffers the onslaught(冲击)of Lahars.Most of its population of   5   have departed to resettlement camps.

  About   6   of the population of Bacalor never left.They had been warned many times but the people remained.They seemed to be there forever.

  Every year when the rains come new Lahars swamp(淹没)the town raising the land ever higher.Still people rebuild their homes.

  Some of them have houses twice or even three times.And some people gave up, and others raised it   7  

  Bacalor was originally a township of twenty-one large villages.Today only   8   remain.

  The broken remains of Mount Pinetubo are silent now.But its volcanic ash lay heavy on its slopes.Just   9   of heavy rain, can produce a Lahar.It is not unusual to have eighteen Typhoons a year.So Philippine scientists constantly monitor(检测)the weather on the mountain’s slopes.Since the eruption,   10   Lahars have occurred, and all resulted from Typhoon rain.To reduce its damage, a huge system has now been constructed.
