Ⅰ.阅读理解
After three quarters of an hour they reached the height where the hut(小屋)of the old man stood on a rock,exposed to every wind,but bathed in the full sunlight.From there you could see far down into the valley.
Overlooking the valley the old man had made himself a bench,by the side of the hut.Here he sat,with his pipe between his teeth and both his hands resting on his knees.He quietly watched the children climbing up with the goats and Aunt Deta behind them.Heidi reached the top first,and approaching the old man,she held out her hand to him and said,“Good evening,grandfather! ”
“Well,well,what does that mean? ” replied the old man in a rough voice.Giving her his hand for only a moment,he watched with a long and penetrating(穿透性的)look from under his bushy brows.Heidi gazed back at him and examined him,for he was strange to look at.
Deta had arrived in the meantime with Peter,who was eager to see what was going to happen.
“Good-day to you,uncle,” said Deta as she approached.“This is Tobias and Adelheid's child.You won't be able to remember her,because last time you saw her,she was only a year old.”
“Why do you bring her here? ” asked the uncle,and turning to Peter,he said:“Get away and bring my goats.How late you are already! ”
Peter obeyed and disappeared;the old man had looked at him in such a manner that he was glad to go.
“Uncle,I've brought the little girl for you to keep,” said Deta.“I have done my share these four years and now it's your turn to provide for her.”
