　　This girl is almost without shelter．She may not realize it, but she’s more exposed to the world than she’s ever likely to be again．And it isn’t because she’s a girl．It could be a boy．It could be you．

　　But why is she shelterless?She’s got a place to live in quite a pleasant place by the look of it and if shelter doesn’t mean a house, then what does it mean?When we say someone “lives a sheltered life”, we don’t only mean that their house is comfortable．We mean that they’re protected from too many worries and troubles, that they live in a settled home, probably surrounded by friends and family, and that they don’t have to cope with(应付)the difficulties the world is full of alone．

　　Certainly no one would say that this girl was leading a sheltered life;she’s leaving home to earn her living in a strange city and live by herself in a bedsitter．She may be just as well protected physically as a “sheltered life” person, but she’s lost all the other shelters in her life－family, friends, the home she grew up in, school, the groups she belonged to．She’s on her own now and unless she’s very self-reliant(信赖自己的), she’s likely to feel unhappy and insecure(不安全的)at times．

　　A young person setting out on her own like this is between the two main kinds of shelter most of us spend our lives in．One is our parents home where we grow up, and the other is the home we make ourselves and where we bring up our own children．For most people the time they spend between or outside these two shelters is only a small part of their lives．

　　She did 　　6　　 the unseen man told her．She could hear a plane flying round and round 　　7　　 her cottage．“I’m helping the plane!” Marie said to 　　8　　．

　　At that time thousands of French people were 　　9　　 in the forests and mountains to resist the Germans．They were in need of food and weapons, which had to be 　　10　　 to them from planes coming from England．In this way, Marie carried out 　　11　　．

　　One morning Marie met the owner of the voice, a young French soldier．He sat near her and said, “Thank you, Marie, for what you have done．Tonight is very important．Things of great 　　12　　 will be dropped and the light must be shown at 3 o’clock in the morning．Can you keep 　　13　　 till then?” “I’ll not 　　14　　,” Marie answered．Night fell．Two 　　15　　 soldiers burst in, gun in hand．They searched the cottage and remained in her room and she was 　　16　　 to go outside．She sat still, wondering what she could do．She couldn’t stand on the bed to show the light．She remembered her 　　17　　 to the French soldier．The enemies were asleep．Just then she had an idea．Noiselessly she got out of the room and 　　18　　 fire to the hay．In a moment the cottage was burning．She ran 　　19　　 the forest．In the morning, the French soldier came．“You’ve done well, Marie,” he said, “You did not fail．The plane 　　20　　 us what we need．Your parents are safe．Come and join us．”
