my 60th birthday? What else, but a journey at the opposite end of the world, Antarctica. I began my

almost 400-mile journey on November 1st, 1997,a few days before my birthday. I walked and skied

alone. My dog team were not with me to pull my sled. Another journey of challenge and danger was

about to begin.

      The first days the weather was very good. The wind was icy but not very strong and there was

bright sunshine 24 hours a day. But changes were just around the corner. On the third day I was

struggling through stormy weather and during the nest week the wind grew stronger and I found myself

spending a whole day in my tent.

      I had traveled only two hours one day when the winds increased so much that I had to put my tent

up before the winds became too strong. Within a few minutes the winds increased to a howling storm

that threatened to blow me and the tent away, but none of that happened.

河豚子(7分)

王任叔

他从别人口中得来了这一种常识,便决心走这一着算盘。  

他不知从什么地方讨来了一篮的河豚子,悄悄地拿向家中走来。一连三年的灾荒,所得的谷只能够作租;凭他独手支撑的一家五口,从去冬支撑到今岁二三月夜,已算是困难极了。现在也只好挨饥了!但是——怎样挨得下去呢?

这好似天使送礼物一般的喜悦,当一家人见到他拿来了一篮东西的时候。

孩子们都手舞足蹈地向前进去。

“爸爸,爸爸!什么东西呵!让我们吃哟!”

这么样的情景,真使他伤心泪落的了!

“吃!”他低低地答一声后,无限的恐怖!为孩子生命的恐怖,一齐怒潮般压上心头,喘不过气来。

他嘱咐妻子把河豚子煮熟来吃,自己托故外去一趟。他并不是自己不愿死,不吃河豚子,不过他不忍心见到一家人临死的惨状,所以暂时且为避开。

已过了午了,还不见他回来。孩子却早已绕着母亲要吃了。这同甘共苦的妻子,对于丈夫是非常敬爱,任何东西断不肯先给孩子尝吃的。

日车已驾到斜西,河豚子,还依然煮着。他归来了。他的足如踏在云上一般。他想象中一家尸体枕籍的惨状,真使他归来的力也衰了。

然而预备好的刀下舍生的决心,鼓起了他的勇气。早已见到孩子们炯炯的眼光在门外闪发着,过后,一阵欢迎归来的声音也听到了。

“怎么还没有死呢?”他想。

“爸爸!我们是等你了一同吃呀!”

“哦!”他知道了。

一桌上争争抢抢地吃着。久不得到鱼味的他的一家人,自然分外感到鲜甜。

吃好后,他到床上安安稳稳地睡着,静待这黑衣死神之降临。

但毕竟因煮烧多时,把河豚子的毒性消失了,一家人还是要安安稳稳地挨饿。

他一觉醒来,叹道:“真是求死也不得吗?”泪绽出在他的眼上了。 

那个绝望的男人买了一篮河豚子想毒死全家,可苦命的一家子却糊里糊涂没死成,明儿天一亮还得活生生挨饿。对于生命,失落是种悲哀,死亡更是一种悲哀,对于艰难困苦中的真爱与亲情,不能享受、不能回报只能亲手扼杀,是一种更深的悲哀,而失去了死亡与扼杀的权利呢?恐怕已超越了悲哀,化作人类苦难永恒的注脚了吧?

想象“他”托故外出之后的所作所为、所想所感写一段话。要求想象贴切,语言形象,有一定的心理描写。7分
