"Mom, I have to go get help," Maddie cried.
McRae realized it was their only hope. If she tried to go herself, she knew, Maddie wouldn't be able to hold on to the two toddlers（學步嬰兒）, and all three children might drown. But Maddie was still recovering from foot surgery and had been out of a cast for only a week. How was she going to manage? They were stranded in the middle of the swelling torrent (激流) in complete darkness, more than 25 feet from the creek bank.
McRae looked at her small, determined daughter. "I'm thinking, this is the last chance I may get to talk to her. What do I need to tell her?" she recalls. "I love you!" she shouted over the roaring water. "I'm proud of you. Be careful!"
"I know I can do it," Maddie replied. The 95-pound sixth grader grabbed a thin, weak branch hanging over the SUV and began to climb across the creek. Reaching the bank, she jumped into "a whole bunch of prickly (多刺的) bushes," then took off running. "I was in my power," she recalls.
With the cold water now swelling up to her chest and her arms growing numb around the two toddlers, McRae could see her daughter's figure as she moved quickly up the hill toward the nearest neighbor's back pasture（牧場）. Suddenly she heard Maddie scream.
"I ran into an electric fence," Maddie recalls. "It really hurt." Barefoot and soaking wet, she tried to climb it four or five times, thrown back each time by a shock meant to contain horses. Finally she found a cold spot near the gate and got over. McRae saw a porch light go on at the top of the hill.

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (纏繞) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend (超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditar. I prayed to be a balloon.
When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother _________.
A．felt it hard to answer B．thought her a creative girl
C．believed it easy to do so D．found it easy to lie
When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she _________.
A．jumped with joy B．became excited
C．started writing immediately D．was worried that it couldn't be delivered
In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?
A．An incurable disease. B．An unforgettable memory.
C．The hard time her father had. D．The failures her father experienced.
What would be the best title for the passage?
A．An unforgettable experience B．The strong red balloon

"Everything happens for the best." My mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you 36 one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous 37 ."
Mother was right. After graduating from college I had decided to try for a job in 38 , then work my way up to 39 . I got 40 on the door of every station every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn't 41 hiring an inexperienced person. "Go out in the sticks(邊遠地區) and find a 42 station that'll give you a chance." she said.
I thumbed(搭便車) home to Dixon, Illi. 43 there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local 44 to manage 45 sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high-school football, I 46 the post, but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment must have shown. "Everything happens for the best." Mom 47 me. I drove to Davenport, in Iowa. I 48 WOC Radio there. Peter Macarthur, the program director, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration(挫折感) 49 over. I asked aloud. "How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station ?" I was waiting for the 50 when I heard Macarthur calling. "What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about 51 ?" Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast a(an) 52 game.
I remembered a game we had won. I did a 15-minute buildup to that play, and Peter told me I would 53 Saturday's game!
On my way home, I thought of my mother's words, 54 I have many times since, "If you … , one day something good will happen...."
I often wonder what my 55 might have been like if I'd gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
