The smell of popcorn played on the breeze

14、 and life seemed good. It was one of the happiest Saturday mornings I had spent with my little daughter, Gigi.2 That is, until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away. It seemed like a bad dream. I could barely whisper when the police questioned me. For hours we waited, but there was n

15、o word on the whereabouts of the car. Tears would start to come. Then nothing. I was numb with fear.3 “Go home, Maam, “ the sergeant said. “Ill have an officer drive you. Well also want to monitor your telephone. The kidnappers might call, and well want to get a trace. Trust me, these guys cant get

16、far.“ After what had just happened, it was hard for me to trust anything.4 My friend Gloria came over that afternoon. “I heard about Gigi on the radio, “ she said. “Everyone is looking for the car. The interstates are all blocked.“ She took my hand.5 “Look here, “ Gloria said. “I want you to have th

17、is picture, and I want you to pray with me.“6 It was a picture of a little girl sound asleep in her bed. Standing by the bed was a tall, blond angel. His hand was touching the girls shoulder as he smiled down at her.7 My nerves were frazzled. “You know I dont believe in that kind of thing!“ I snappe

18、d. “Im too exhausted for any hocus-pocus right now, Gloria! I want my daughter home!“ I started to shake, and then I began sobbing.8 Gloria placed the photo on our mantle and knelt down beside me. “Just pray with me, “ she said, holding my hand.9 I had no strength left, so we prayed and awaited what

19、 seemed an eternity. Together, we waited by the phone until sundown. The phone never rang.10 Suddenly, the front door swung open. I looked up and screamed.11 There stood Gigi. “Gigi! Thank God!“ I cried, throwing my arms around her. “Where did those men take you? How did you get home? Did the police

20、 find you?“12 “No Mommy! “said Gigi. “I was really scared because those men said they were taking me far away. We were going really fast on an old rock road Id never seen before. But then a tall man walked out in front of the car, and they ran off the road and hit a tree.13 Then the tall man ran up

21、and opened the car door and pulled me out. He was really nice, and said I would be okay now, and that those men couldnt hurt me. I must have gone to sleep, because then I woke up here in front of our house. He must have brought me home.“14 “But who. how did he know. where to bring you?“ My voice bro

22、ke and trailed to a whisper.15 “I dont know, Mommy, “ Gigi said. “But he was really friendly, and I wasnt scared of him at all.“16 Just then Gigi noticed Glorias picture on the mantle. “Thats him!“ She squealed, pointing at the picture. “Mommy, the tall blond man dressed like an angel. Thats the man

23、 that pulled me out of the car!“17 I felt chill-bumps across my neck and arms. Gloria turned pale. “Are you sure thats the man?“ Gloria asked.18 “Yeah, thats him. Except he didnt have wings, and he was wearing blue jeans and a tee shirt. But thats him exactly, Id remember him anywhere!“19 Later that

24、 night, the police found the injured kidnappers in their wrecked car fifty miles from our home. When questioned, the driver remembered swerving to avoid hitting a tall blond man and the backseat door that Gigi sat by had been completely torn off its hinges.20 Twenty years have gone by. We have never

25、 heard from anyone claiming to have rescued Gigi and there have been no logical explanations for Gigis miraculous escape and return home from a wreck so far away.21 There have always been things that people cant explain. But, from that day forward, Ive never doubted that many of those things are div

26、ine miracles. I believe that all experiences, positive and negative, are given to us for our strengthening and learning.22 Gigi now takes her little girl to the park on Saturdays. They enjoy the sunlight as it dances in the treetops, the smell of popcorn, and the laughter of children. She keeps Glor

27、ias picture on her mantle, and she remembers her angelic friend.

When the curtain was raised, the stag

31、e was perfectly empty save for tall grey curtains which enclosed it on all sides, and presently through the thick folds of those curtains children came dancing in, singly, or in pairs, till a whole troop of ten or twelve were assembled. They were all girls; none, I think, more than fourteen years ol

32、d, one or two certainly not more than eight. They wore but little clothing, their legs, feet and arms being quite bare. Their hair, too, was unbound; and their fates, grave and smiling, were so utterly dear and joyful, that in looking on them one felt transported to some Garden of Hesperides, a wher

33、e self was not, and the spirit floated in pure ether. Some of these children were fair and rounded, others dark and elf-like; but one and all looked entirely happy, and quite unself-conscious, giving no impression of artifice, though they had evidently had the highest and most careful training. Each

34、 flight and whirling movement seemed conceived there and then out of the joy of beingdancing had surely never been a labour to them, either in rehearsal or performance. There was no tiptoeing and posturing, no hopeless muscular achievement; all was rhythm, music, light, air, and above all things, ha

35、ppiness. Smiles and love had gone to the fashioning of their performance; and smiles and love shone from every one of their faces and from the clever white turnings of their limbs.Amongst themthough all were delightfulthere were two who especially riveted my attention. The first of these two was the

36、 tallest of all the children, a dark thin girl, in whose every expression and movement there was a kind of grave, fiery love.During one of the many dances, it fell to her to be the pursuer of a fair child, whose movements had a very strange soft charm; and this chase, which was like the hovering of

37、a dragonfly round some water lily, or the wooing of a moonbeam by the June night, had in it a most magical sweet passion. That dark, tender huntress, so full of fire and yearning, had the queerest power of symbolising all longing, and moving ones heart. In her, pursuing her white love with such wist

38、ful fervour, and ever arrested at the very moment of conquest, one seemed to see the great secret force that hunts through the world, on and on, tragically unresting, immortally sweet.The other child who particularly enhanced me was the smallest but one, a brown-haired fairy crowned with a half moon

39、 of white flowers, who wore a scanty little rose-petal-coloured shift that floated about her in the most delightful fashion. She danced as never child danced. Every inch of her small head and body was full of the sacred fire of motion; and in her little pas seul she seemed to be the very spirit of m

40、ovement. One felt that Joy had flown down, and was inhabiting there; one heard the rippling of Joys laughter. And, indeed, through all the theatre had risen a rustling and whispering; and sudden bursts of laughing rapture.I looked at my friend; he was trying stealthily to remove something from his e

41、yes with a finger. And to myself the stage seemed very misty, and all things in the world lovable; as though that dancing fairy had touched them with tender fire, and made them golden.God knows where she got that power of bringing joy to our dry hearts: God knows how long she will keep it! But that

42、little flying Love had in her the quality that lie deep in colour, in music, in the wind, and the sun, and in certain great works of artthe power to see the heart free from every barrier, and flood it with delight.（分数：5.00）(1).From this passage, it can be inferred thatA the dancing girls are all ver

47、00)In 1830, only a few miles away from what is now the great city of Cincinnati, lay an immense and almost unbroken forest. The whole region was sparsely settled by people of the frontierrestless souls who no sooner had hewn fairly habitable homes out of the wilderness and attained to that degree o

48、f prosperity which today we should call indigence, then, impelled by some mysterious impulse of their nature, they abandoned all and pushed farther westward, to encounter new perils and privations in the effort to regain the meagre comforts which they had voluntarily renounced. Many of them had already forsaken that region for the remoter settlements, but among those remaining was on
