She stared at me curiously . “ you have kept this umbrella for years, it’s old and out of date, I wonder hwy you keep it and take it wherever you go. “ I smiled, “ it means a great deal to me.” I simply gave her my shortest answer. Honestly speaking, I, either, could not understand the reason why I kept it . Then all of a sudden , fallen leaves darkened my eyes with a strong wind. I grabbed the umbrella instinctively. The rain poured down, thanks to my umbrella, I didn’t get wet at all.“ why have I kept it for so long ?” I asked myself , staring at my umbrella. I couldn’t remember when and where I bought it, for I’m always tired and lazy to answer questions. It could protect me from the heavy rain, I told myself eventually. Looking at the people rushing through the street, I felt safe. This might be another reason. It is always so. We know a thunderstorm comes unexpectedly and goes without a warning. The sky cleared up. The sun shone brightly .just as usual, I seized the umbrella with my left hand. Still there is water dropping down. I walked among the noisy crowd and listened to what they were murmuring in their heart. “ today I will ask for a rise, or I’ll leave this company.” Good luck to you , I smiled to him. “I’ll manage to make you live forever.” A little boy held a pet dog close to him. “ she’ll be all right, because she is blessed.” I heard angels singing in this city. The moment my fingertips touched the umbrella, I felt it’s dry, and it’s warm. Soon it became hot. I held it up to avoid harmful sunshine. Do I need a reason to explain why? Maybe I should think about it. I need my umbrella when it is sunny as well as when it is rainy.21.Which of the following words best describes the author?A. watchful B. hard- working C. clever D. strange22.
