Temperature is part of my married romance Coming to New’York from Baltimore-where there is just one small snowstorm each year-1was 16 by a fireplace in my new home，wit fires 17 all day,just as what ancient people did at a wedding．

　 My husband，Peter,comes from northem Ontario，where winter 18 from September to May and cold wind is 19 ．”When Canadians have 30 below,they 20 it，”he says．“Cold wind is for crybabies．”

　 So to marry this man I had to learn to 21 for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore's Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson，Peter piled me 22 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 23 we were getting serious．

　 That first winter together,living in upstate New York,I thought I’d 24 My boots were good below freezing，but my fingers could 25 tie them．Physical adaptation is real，but it came slowly．And there is also emotional 26 to cold．Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on 27 days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build 28 ．

　 29 ，having a warm house is important．After my first marriage ended，for years I 30　 ! 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 31 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 32，in this new life and climate，to go look for that cost-saving sweater．

　 The word comfortable did not 33 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

34 ．we 35 not be warm but we are indeed comforted．

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.?

And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don't understand you.

Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.?

It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.?

And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).  Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.?

If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(=on the floor),or LOL(=laughing out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).?

And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL(talk to you later).?

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation is going, too.?

In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet_______.

A. you have to speak fast and fluently?

B. you have to express your ideas in a brief way?

C. you should speak with wit and humor　?

D. one should pay much attention to the accuracy of the words?

If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means_______.?

A. the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine?

B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York?

C. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York?

D. the person who are talking to you is a 1.7-foot tall New York girl?

To save time on the Internet_______.?

A. some people leave their letters in the dustbin?

B. some people never use “shift” in their writing?

C. many people leave the capital and punctuation?

D. people seldom use capital letters or punctuation
