The flood forced 200 people in Tuscany to evacuate their homes and move to higher places for safety. It is said many people climbed onto their roofs when rivers kept rising in central Italy. Shops, houses and historic buildings were filled with water in Venice. And the government said 70 percent of the water city was flooded. High water in Venice reached 149 cm, the sixth highest level since records began in 1872. People had to walk through water, and some tourists in swimming clothes sat at cafe tables under the water.

A plant can also be considered as a good gift idea for your parents if they 78 gardening. These little gifts will make your parents understand that you care about their likes and dislikes.

They do the things they do because of the meaning brought into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. They understand that“Doing 85. w________ you love is the most important for living a full life”.

Doctors don’t know the exact cause of birthmarks like mine — but they do know it happens in about 3 of every 1,000 children all over the world. Some birthmarks are marks of serious medical conditions(严重的疾病). I’m very lucky — mine isn’t. I almost live a regular life, except for people asking me about it all the time, which can get me annoyed (恼怒的) sometimes. But my birthmark is just a spot on my skin. It’s not harmful to other people.
When I was about 4 years old, I asked my mom why there weren’t any characters with birthmarks in the books she would read for me. When we went to the library, we realized there weren’t any for little kids. My mom knew I was disappointed. There weren’t any books with cool characters who had birthmarks.
So she said we could write our own. She took all my ideas and we created the first book of its kind to educate kids about birthmarks and also offer a more realistic (现实的), positive (正面的) character with a birthmark. I based the story on all real things that happened in my life. But instead of people, the characters in the book are real animals from the Galapagos Islands, including a red-footed bird. When people ask why I picked a red-footed bird as the main character, I tell them that the bird has red feet, similar to a human birthmark! He is pretty cool. It was really tough to get my book published. It took a long time because a lot of publishers refused it. They would tell my family there wasn’t a market big enough for a book about birthmarks. But we knew the book wasn’t about birthmarks. It was about tolerance（包容）
for people’s differences. We just picked a character with a birthmark because that was what I knew. 88. Why does Evan say he is very lucky? (1分) _____________________________________ 89.
