Tuesday， Jan. 6， 9：50 p.m.
We were sitting in our warm living room. The TV was on， and everything was peaceful. Suddenly the light went on and off for a few times and then went out completely. Then the rain started， and everything went black. We found the flashlight and some candles and went to bed.
Wednesday， Jan. 7， 7：30 a.m.
My first thought after waking up was that it was pretty cold in my bedroom. Clearly， the power (电力供应) didn’t come back. After I looked out of the window， I felt even sadder： it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder. We had no idea when the power would come back， so my wife started a fire in the fireplace.
Thursday， Jan. 8， 12：30 p.m.
The snow started. The poor trees now had to carry the heavy snow. The storm seemed to last (持续) and we had nothing to do but stay at home.
Friday， Jan. 9， 6：00 p.m.
Still no power. Even though we lit (点燃) a few candles， it was still difficult to do anything in their weak light. I was sitting near several candles， but I had trouble reading.
Saturday， Jan. 10， 1：00 p.m.
The storm stopped this morning， and I drove my car to look for an open store. The trees along the roads were broken. I only bought the most necessary things： bread， some fruit， more drinking water and batteries (电池) for the flashlight. On my way home， the power came back and people were very happy.

San Francisco has its cable cars, and Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted lots of a 1. , is now a local landmark (地标). The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to c 2.the busy road without getting hurt by passing cars.
The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Many times, Peters and others w 3.worked in and near Park Plaza often saw squirrels run over. One day Peters found a dead squirrel w 4.a nut (坚果) still in its mouth, and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel s 5. . The group of businessmen thought of the squirrel bridge idea later and they n 6.the bridge “Nutty Narrows”.
After architects (建筑师) designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. The 60-foot bridge c 7.1,000 dollars.
It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young to cross the bridge. The s 8.was picked up by the media (媒体), and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers. In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were m 9.and crosspieces(横木) were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, h 10.of animal-lovers attended the completion ceremony (竣工仪式) of the new bridge. Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.

Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren’t sure where to start or feel like they just don’t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.
Think more before you decide
The decisions you make may go a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian (素食者) diet. If you aren’t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies that have illegal (违法的) practices.
Help speak the word out
Speaking the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important problems of animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we’re facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give to your friend.
Write a letter
We’ve all heard the saying, “The pen is more powerful than the sword (宝剑)”. Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won’t buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators (立法者) to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.
Be more loving
If you’re considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who look after poor animals.
Let your actions set an example
It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living animals respectfully. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid entertainment (娱乐) places that use animals to perform. Support laws that protect animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.

You are visiting the pyramids in Egypt, but the next second you are in France. Then, suddenly you may see dinosaurs, animals that 1. live in the world. But you are not in a wonderland. This is what might happen in the near future, with the help of VR (虚拟现实) technology.
VR is a computer technology that creates an environment and 2. users to see and even interact (互动) with it. Just wear a pair of VR goggles (护目镜) connected to 3. computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of your room.
“The most attractive part of VR is that it gives an immersive (身临其境的) experience,” said Wang Bing. “That’s why VR 4. are popular among users. You become a part of the story.”
5. , VR technology is still far from perfect. Users report experiencing headaches and feeling sick while wearing VR goggles. Maybe it could take a while for VR to really take over the world.
