题目内容:
It's a hot summer night. Rachel, "Grandma says quietly. "Get up. I have something to show you. Come with me. "Then hand in hand, they walk out of the house.
Today, Rachel and her parents drove two hours from New York City to send her big sister, Claire, to sleep away camp(野营). Then they drove another four hours to Grandma's house in this quiet countryside.
Outside, it is dark. Grandma turns on a flashlight(手电筒)and starts walking.
"Where are we going? "Rachel asks, a little worried.
"You'll see, says Grandma. Then they walk to the forest.
Rachel sees some yellow lights and asks," What are they?"
"Fireflies(萤火),"says Grandma.
They follow the lights. Then, suddenly, they arrive at a clearing(林中空地), and Grandma turns off her flashlight. Fireflies are everywhere. The forest shimmers as if it's full of stars.
"They' re talking to one another," Grandma says. "They talk with light."
"What are they saying? "Rachel asks.
