暑假作业九年级下册英语习题

A heavy rain hit a s mall village. The floods (洪水) started to rise. A priest (神父) was praying (祈祷) in a church (教堂). The flood was almost above his knees. A rescuer (救助者) shipped to the priest and said, “Godfather, come up or you will die. The priest said, “No, I’m sure God will save me. You may leave for others.

After a while, water covered his shoulder, the priest had to move onto an altar (祭坛). This time a policeman came over in a yacht (游艇) and said, “Come up or you will die! The priest said, “No, I have to keep my church. I believe God will save me. You just go and save other people. A moment later, his church was flooded. The priest had to hold firmly (牢固地) the cross on the top of the church.

A helicopter (直升机) was flying over him where a pilot put down a rope ladder and shouted, “Godfather, come up! This is your last chance! We don’t want you to die! But he said firmly, “No, I have to keep my church. I believe God will save me. You just go and save other people. God will be with me. Great flood soon came over. The priest was killed.

The priest went to Heaven (天堂) where he saw the God. He asked angrily, “God, I served you honestly, but why didn’t you save me? The God said, “Didn’t I? The first time I gave you a ship and you refused. The second time I gave you a yacht you refused again. The third time I sent you a helicopter you still didn’t accept. So I thought you wished to stay with me in a hurry.

In fact, the obstacles (障碍) in our life are because we are stubborn (顽固) and ignorant(无知).
