单选题The sea lay like an unbroken mirror all around the pine-girt, lonely shores of Orrs Island. Tall, kingly spruces wore their regal crowns of cones high in air, sparkling with diamonds of clear exuded gum; vast old hemlocks of primeval growth while feathery larches, turned to brilliant gold by autumn frosts, lighted up the darker shadows of the evergreens. It was one of those hazy, calm, dissolving days of Indian summer, when everything is so quiet that the faintest kiss of the wave on the beach can be heard, and white clouds seem to faint into the blue of the sky, and soft swathing bands of violet vapor make all earth look dreamy, and give to the sharp, clear-cut outlines of the northern landscape all those mysteries of light and shade which impart such tenderness to Italian scenery. The funeral was over, -the tread of many feet, bearing the heavy burden of two broken lives, had been to the lonely graveyard, and had come again, -each footstep lighter and more unconstrained as each one went his way from the great old tragedy of Death to the common cheerful life. The solemn black clock stood swaying with its eternal tick-tock, tick-cock, in the kitchen of the brown house on Orrs Island. There was there that sense of a stillness that can be left, -such as settles down on a dwelling when any of its inmates have passed though its doors for the last time, to go whence they shall not return. The best room was shut up and darkened, with only so much light as could fall through a little heart-shaped hole in the window-shutter, -for except on solemn visits, or prayer-meeting or weddings, or funerals, that room formed no part of the daily family scenery. The kitchen was clean and ample, with a great open fireplace and wide stone hearth, and oven on one side, and rows of old-fashioned splint-bottomed chairs against the wall. A table scoured no snowy whiteness, and a little work-stand whereon lay the Bible, the Missionary Herald, and the Weekly Christian Mirror, before named, formed the principal furniture. One feature, however, must not be forgotten, -a great sea-chest, which had been the companion of Zephaniah through all the countries of the earth. Old, and battered, and unsightly it looked, yet report said that there was good store within of that which men for the most part respect more than anything else; and, indeed, it proved often when a deed of grace was to be done -when a woman was suddenly made a widow in a coast gale, or a fishing -smack was run down in the fogs off the banks, leaving in some neighboring cottage a family of orphans, -in all such cases, the opening of this sea-chest was an event of good omen to the bereaved; for Zephaniah had a large heart and a large hand, and was apt to take it out full of silver dollars when once it went in. So the ark of the covenant could not have been looked on with more reverence than the neighbors usually showed to Captain Pennels sea-chest.

单选题 A herd of Kashmir goats have invaded a Welsh seaside town after the coronavirus lockdown (冠状病毒造成的封锁) left the streets deserted. The animals, who normally roam free on a nearby headland standing out into the Irish Sea, have instead wandered into Llandudno where they have spent the past three days feasting on garden hedges and flowers. Like other countries affected by the global coronavirus crisis, Britain has imposed strict social distancing measures including shop and school closures, and the authorities are asking everyone to stay at home except for essential travel. With the streets of Llandudno unnaturally quiet, the goats have been free to wander the streets undisturbed. Town councillor Carol Marubbi said the goats didn't normally come into town unless the weather was awful, but on this occasion she said they probably realised something unusual was going on because there were so few people around. 'I think they're probably feeling a bit lonely and they have come down to have a look around,' she told Reuters by telephone. Kashmir goats have lived on the headland near Llandudno since the days of Queen Victoria, when the species became popular in Britain due to a fashion for shawls made from their soft cashmere wool. Marubbi said the herd of about 150 goats, some of whom had kids in February, were a well-known local attraction and most residents did not mind having their hedges eaten by them.' I'm a big fan,' she said. 'I love them because they are characters.' With millions of people stuck at home sharing light-hearted content online to alleviate the boredom of the lockdown, images and video of the goats wandering around the streets were a hit on social media. 'Just love this. Looks like they are definitely in charge,' wrote Sue Foster, a former primary school head teacher. Andrew Stuart, a video producer for the Manchester Evening News, has been posting videos of the furry adventurers online and they are attracting hundreds of thousands of viewers. 'There's no one around at the moment, because of the lockdown, so they take their chances and go as far as they can. And they are going further and further into the town,' Smart told the Associated Press from his parents' pub in Llandudno, where he is waiting out the pandemic (流行病). His videos show the goats munching on (用力咀嚼) people's neatly trimmed hedges and trees in front yards and wandering casually empty streets as if they own the place. 'One of the videos shows that they were on a narrow side street and I was on the other side and they were scared of me. They were moving slowly and carefully away from me. So they are still scared of people,' Stuart said.
