It was pouring outside. We all stood there  21 , some patiently, others annoyed   22  nature messed (弄糟)their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens   23  away the dirt and dust of the world.  
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice    24   me .
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it   25 down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and   26 : “Mom, let’s run through the
rain .”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No , we won’t , Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said 
as she  27     her  Mom’s arm .
“This morning?  28  did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said ,” If God can get us through this , he can get us through  29  .”
The entire crowd turned   30  . Mom paused and thought for a moment about   31 
she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being  32 . But then we heard, 
“Honey, you are   33. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,”
Mom said. Then   34 they ran.
We all stood   35 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were  36  by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the  37  to their cars. Circumstances (境况)or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your  38 . But no one can ever take away your precious  39 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the  40  to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

“Well, what did I say?Buck’s a real fighter, all right,” said Francois the next morning when he discovered that Spitz had disappeared and that Buck was covered in blood.
“Spitz fought like a wolf,” said Perrault, as he looked at the bites all over Buck.
“And Buck fought like ten wolves,” answered Francois. “And we'll travel faster now. No more Spitz,no more trouble.”
Francois started to harness the dogs. He needed a new lead-dog, and decided that Solleks was the best dog that he had. But Buck jumped at Solleks and took his place.
“Look at Buck!” said Francois,laughing. “He's killed Spitz,and now he wants to be lead-dog.Go away, Buck!”
He pulled Buck away and tried to harness Solleks again.Solleks was unhappy too. He was frightened of Buck, and when Francois turned his back,Buck took Solleks’ place again. Now Francois was angry.
“I'll show you! ” he cried,and went to get a heavy club from the sledge.
Buck remembered the man in the red coat,and moved away. This time,when Solleks was harnessed as lead-dog,Buck did not try to move in.He kept a few meters away and circled around Francois carefully. But when Francois called him to his old place in front of Dave, Buck refused.He had won his fight with Spitz and he wanted to be lead-dog.
For an hour the two men tried to harness him.Buck did not run away,but he did not let them catch him.Finally,Francois sat down,and Perrault looked at his watch.It was getting late. The two men looked at one another and smiled. Francois walked up to Solleks,took off his harness, led him back and harnessed him in his old place.Then he called Buck. All the other dogs were harnessed and the only empty place was now the one at the front. But Buck did not move.
“Put down the club,” said Perrault.
Francois dropped the club, and immediately Buck came up to the front of the team.Francois harnessed him, and in a minute the sledge was moving.
Buck was an excellent leader. He moved and thought quickly and led the other dogs well. A new leader made no difference to Dave and Solleks; they continued to pull hard.But the other dogs had had an easy life when Spitz was leading.They were surprised when Buck made them work hard and punished them for their mistakes. Pike,the second dog,was usually lazy;but by the end of the first day he was pulling harder than he had ever pulled in his life. The first night in camp Buck fought Joe,another difficult dog,and after that there were no more problems with him.The team started to pull together,and to move faster and faster.
“I've never seen a dog like Buck!” cried Francois, “Never! He's worth a thousand dollars. What do you think, Perrault? ”
Perrault agreed.They were moving quickly,and covering more ground every day. The snow was good and hard,and no new snow fell.The temperature dropped to 45°C below zero, and didn't change.
This time there was more ice on the Thirty Mile River, and they crossed in a day.Some days they ran a hundred kilometers,or even more. They reached Skagway in fourteen days; the fastest time ever.
【小题1】The writer mentioned “the man in the red coat” in the passage to show that____.

A.the man in the red coat once beat Buck severely with a club.
B.Buck remembered Francois was the man in the red coat.
C.the man in the red was quite friendly to Buck in his memory.

【小题2】 Why did Buck fight Joe the first night in camp?
A.He wanted to get rid of Joe.
B.He wanted to make some trouble.
C.He was interested in fighting with others.
D.He wanted to teach Joe a lesson.

A.Dave stood in the second position in the team.
