I always 1 the day when there was no light in my home for more than 10 hours. My family were watching TV at 4:00 p. m. that day. 2 the lights went on and off a few times. It was clear that there must be something 3 with the circuit（电路）. Before my father went to have a look, the room became 4. So we had to use the flashlight to find out 5 happened.

There were strong winds outside and 6 rained heavily. We went in as quickly as we could. We could even feel the coldness through the 7. Several hours later, we realized that the power（电力）would not 8 in a short time. When we were ready to go to bed, my sister shouted, "Look! It's 9. " We jumped up and down and felt very 10. We looked forward to making a snowman and having a snowball fight. 11 there was still no power, we went to bed earlier than usual.

The snow 12 the next morning. It seemed to be sunny. When we looked outside, we saw a 13 world. The trees were covered with snow and the roads became 14. Luckily, the power came back. After we had breakfast at home, we went out to play 15 snow happily.

We had a great time that day.

One day, I was with my friends. We were having a picnic in the field and I saw something strange. A white cat with a pink nose was sitting in a tree. There was nothing strange about that, of course, but it was eating the leaves in the tree!

That was strange! Cats don't usually eat leaves. "Probably it's very hungry," I thought.

While I was looking at it, the cat got out of the tree, jumped down to the ground, walked across the field and sat next to us. It was possible that it wanted some of our picnic to eat, but there was nothing for the cat. The cat got up and came close to me. I talked to it and it smiled at me.

Was it a Cheshire cat (笑脸猫)? I found some biscuits in my pocket and gave them to the cat. Soon, it was eating biscuits and smiling at us. Then, after a while, the cat got up and walked across the field. I thought it wasn't hungry anymore.

My father was German, but he Worked in England. He married my mother, who was English. Her family name was Robinson, so when I was born in632, in England, they called me Robinson, after her.

My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job, and live a quiet, pleasant life. But I wanted adventure and an exciting life.

"I want to be a sailor and go to sea", I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.

"Please don't go. "my father said, "You won't be happy you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life. "and because I love him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.

But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a Ship and my friend said to me," we are sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't you come with us. "

On September 1", 1651, I went to Hull and the next day we sailed for London.

But, a few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down up and down. I was very ill, and was very afraid.

"Oh, I don't want to die!" I cried," I want to live! If I live, I will go home and never go to sea again!"

The next day the wind stopped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again.

Well, Robinson, my friend laughed," How do you feel now? The wind wasn't to bad. "

"What!" I cried. "It was a terrible storm. "

"Oh, that wasn't a storm, "my friend answered, "just a little wind. Forget it, come and have a drink. "

After a few drinks with my friend, I felt better. I forgot about the danger, and decided not to go home. I didn't want my friend and family to laugh at me!

I stayed in London for some time, but I still, wanted to go to the sea. So, when the captain(船长)of a ship ask me to go with him to Guinea in Africa, I agreed, And so I went to the sea for the second time.

It was a good ship, and everything went well at first, but I was very ill again. Then when we were near the Canary Islands, a Turkish pirate(海盗)ship came after us. They were famous thieves of the sea at that time. There was a long, hard fight, but when it finished, we and the ship were prisoners. The Turkish captain and his men took us to Sallee in Morocco. They wanted to sell us as slaves(奴隶)in the market. But in the end, the Turkish captain decided to keep me for himself, and took me home with him. This was a sudden and terrible change in my life. This Turkish captain was now my master.
