Reading Comprehension A Monday： This camping trip idea was not getting off to a very good start. It was raining and the tent leaked. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still couldn’t understand how it could all have been up the hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home — he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree(狂购)at the mall! Tuesday: Things were looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains were all around us, and the forest was absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting them where the sun could dry them out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily. Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield! Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked 揻ishy? She had a pack rod( b竿), which could be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream. |
