Question

My parents had always prepared for hurricanes. It is what      people do in Florida because “you never know”. For us, that     a white metal cabinet (儲藏柜) in our utility room (雜用間) filled with cans of food. We could      eat anything out of the cabinet because “you never know” when a hurricane will come.

As a kid, I was      about the white cabinet. I thought it was kind of strange to have food in the utility room. But, one look from my mother      me from opening the door to glance inside.

One year, Channel 4 reported that Hurricane Dora was      for the northern part of Florida. Soon the storm got  and the wind blew. Then, the tall pine trees started to sway. And,      “sway”, I meant “ fall over or crash down on anything in their way”. We were lucky, as the       went other directions and didn’t take our power out.

However, when my mother started cooking, the power was out.      I calculated it was time to crack open that white cabinet. But, Dad thought it was time to      up the charcoal grill（燒烤架 ） outside where it was raining and windy. To this day, I never      a man’s love for his grill.

Our power came back for a while. So, my mother began cooking everything she could and       it away, to the neighbors, to friends without power, to anyone with      . I was hoping that the fried chicken was going to find its way to our     . But, it didn’t. And, just as the last of the food was sent out and she began to work on our dinner, yes, we lost our     . It was time for 20 minutes’ eggs on the grill.

Oh, the white metal cabinet. No. We never     it. We weren’t “that bad off” as I understand it. And, for years I      how bad off we would have to be to eat out of that cabinet. Perhaps it was just the      of it, the thought that it was there watching our backs      we wanted a can of beans or some potted meat. I don’t know if that was what was in there. Anyway, I never looked inside.
