第一个告诉你下雪的人

杨慧

       ①有没有人告诉你,下雪了?

       ②大片大片的雪花,像白色的羽毛从天空飘然落下。霎时间,山峦、田野、村庄、小路都陷入白色的忧郁。

       ③可是对于孩子,这白色永远是快乐的。那是一场罕见的大雪,一夜之间就把村庄包装成了童话世界。童话世界里怎么少得了我们这些可爱的小精灵呢!

       ④清晨起来,房门已经被大雪封住了,母亲正拿着一把小铁锹从门缝处一点一点把雪挖开,慢慢开辟出一条小路来。我和妹妹也陆续穿好了棉袄棉鞋,戴上了帽子手套,跑到院子里和母亲一起“扫雪”,那是最愉悦的劳动。与其说是在帮母亲,不如说是在给母亲添乱,母亲前脚刚扫出来的小道,我们打闹着,又把雪扬得到处都是。可是母亲并不恼,笑呵呵地看着我们,任凭我们在纯洁的雪里“胡作非为”。

       ⑤树上、房顶、鸡舍、草棚,闪着亮晶晶的银光,在与红日的交相辉映中分外妖娆。

       ⑥妹妹欢快地跳着,和我一起堆雪人。我们用瓶盖做眼睛,用红辣椒做鼻子,而我总怕小雪人会冷,心疼地把自己脖子上的红围巾摘下来给它围上。一会儿,我们的新伙伴就伫立在庭院里,真是可爱极了!这时,母亲已经做好了早饭,开个门缝对着我们高喊:“吃饭啦……吃饭啦……”我和妹妹好像都没有听见,磨磨蹭蹭谁也不愿意回屋。广阔苍穹,母亲是见证这份快乐的唯一观众,望着她的两个白雪公主,母亲的微笑是甜的。

       ⑦洁白的雪花舞动着我童年的快乐,也翩飞着我少年的轻狂。初三那年寒假,我和同学们约好去县城的书店买些参考书,早上临出门时母亲就叮嘱我穿那件厚一点的棉衣,可是少女的我是爱美的,怎么能把自己变成臃肿的面包?没想到从县城回来时就下起了大雪,汽车晚点了两个多小时,当我背着书包又冷又饿走回家时,看见母亲像一座白色的雕像立在门口,睫毛上沾满了霜白,每眨一下眼睛似乎都能发出吧嗒吧嗒的声响。那天我吃饱喝足就有了精神,母亲却病倒了,高烧40℃。至今我都不知道母亲那天在家门口迎着风雪,望着我回来的方向究竟站了多久。

       ⑧多年以后,我也成为一位母亲。我的孩子和我一样热爱这北方的大雪。

       ⑨春节,我带着孩子回老家。当我们像雪花一样从远方匆匆赶来,哒哒的马蹄声溅起一地飞雪,朵朵如花。那一天,村庄如故,母亲却白发如雪。

       ⑩年迈的母亲依然站在自家的门口张望着、等待着。仿佛这几十年来,一直站在这里,从未离开过。母亲这几天一直念叨着:“要下大雪了,也不知道通不通车。”母亲是不看天气预报的,但每一次比天气预报还要准确。慢慢我才知道,原来是母亲的老寒腿,每次下雪前都会疼。

       ⑪母亲这一生几乎都是在劳动中度过的。夏天她忙着菜园子、庄稼地;冬闲时她忙着给人做衣服,贴补家用。东北的冬天天寒地冻,上世纪七八十年代我们家住的是简陋的茅__草房,虽然窗户外面钉上了塑料布,门上也安上了棉布帘,但墙壁上还是会结霜,四处透风。母亲长时间坐在靠南墙的缝纫机旁做活,两条腿不知不觉中就得了风湿病。母亲腿疼是从来不对我们说的,粗心的我们怎么会知道母亲的腿病这般严重!

       ⑫雪花落在村庄,落在田野,也落在我隐隐作痛的心里。

       ⑬这个世界因为有雪,风景如此美丽,空气如此清新,步伐变得轻快,灵魂得到了洗涤。雪,如母亲的爱,时刻安抚我这颗烦躁的心,让我活得简单快乐,就像一朵雪花吹开了另一朵雪花的春天。

       ⑭传说,第一个告诉你下雪的人是最爱你的人。我相信这个美丽的传说,因为母亲就是最好的例子。电话嘀铃铃响了,是母亲在叮嘱我,要下雪了,记得多穿点儿衣服——母亲的老寒腿又在播送“天气预报”了。我诺诺地应着,却透过那场即将到来的雪,看到了母亲的疼痛。

       ⑮如果可以,我多愿意让自己变成一贴温暖的膏药,敷在她所有疼痛的关节。

同类题4

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    There are many idioms in English. An idiom is a phrase that we can't understand from the meaning of each word. The following are some of them.

As the crow flies

    When a bird flies from place to place, it takes the most direct route. But when people drive, they have to follow roads and often go farther. When people give a distance "as the crow flies", they mean the shortest distance between the two points, not the distance you would have to travel by following roads.

    As Dan and his mum drove along the river, they could see the beach on the opposite side. Dan asked "How far is it to the beach?"

    "It's only about a quarter of a mile as the crow flies" his mother said.

Blow hot and cold

    In one of Aesop's Fables, a man blows on his fingers to warm them up and then blows on his soup to cool it down. In both cases, the man is opening his mouth, but what comes out is different. If a person says one thing and later says the opposite, we say that the person is blowing hot and cold.

    "Is Felicia going to try out for the soccer team this year?" Stacy asked.

    "I don't know," Tricia replied." Last week she was saying yes, but this week she's saying no. She's really blowing hot and cold."

Break the ice

    Nowadays people use the phrase to refer to ending an awkward silence by beginning a conversation.

    It was the first day of summer camp. The four girls began to make their beds in silence. None of the girls knew each other, and no one knew what to say. Finally, one of them broke the ice by saying" Hey, where's everybody from?"

Bury the hatchet

    In native American culture, when two nations agreed to end their war, they buried the hatchet. So to bury the hatchet is to make peace with someone else.

Colin could not excuse his sister for breaking his tennis racket. Finally, his sister said, "Colin, can't we bury the hatchet?"
