2026年暑假作业长江少年儿童出版社八年级英语第37页答案
二、阅读理解。
It was an unusually warm night in June. Susan Roberts had an uneasy sleep. Suddenly, she woke up and saw the lights on at her neighbour's house. She was more worried when seeing the summer rain mixed with snow.
Her husband John looked at the sky carefully and told Susan to get ready for leaving. “Flood is coming. It would destroy everything so we have to wake up the neighbours at once!” ★ “It was still dark; people were sleeping and didn't realize the danger,” said John. “Thankfully, more people went to each other's doors, shouting, ‘Wake up! You have to get out!’”
It was 3 a.m. when the flood came. The small town was washed away. Trees fell down on the town's main road. Cars floated away. When the Roberts came back to their home the next day, they found their house had crumbled. “Oh, my house!” cried Susan.
To their surprise, the day after the flood, more than 20 people—all new to them—came together to help. They thanked the Roberts for saving them on the terrible night with action. “People went into our wet, muddy basement(地下室)and pulled everything out,” said Susan. “They cleaned up our yard and took things home to wash.” Helpers even saved her photo book, drying each page. And volunteers kept coming every day until summer's end.
The town returned to normal, but something has changed since then. As people moved in, they were completely strangers. But as they have experienced something hard together, strangers have become friends. With a warm heart, one of the neighbours said...

解析
