picture of a boa constrictor(大蟒蛇) in the act of swallowing an animal.in the book it said：“boa constrictors swallow their prey wholly without chewing it.after that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.”i thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle.and after some work with a colored pencil，i succeeded in making my first drawing，my drawing number one.i showed my work to the grownups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.but they answered: “frighten? why should anyone be frightened by a hat？”my drawing was not a picture of a hat.it was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.but since the grownups were not able to understand it，i made another drawing.i drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that the grownups could see it clearly.they always need to have things explained.thats my drawing number two.the grownups response this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography，history，arithmetic and grammar.that is why at the age of six i gave up the dream that i might have been a great painter.i had been disheartened by the failure of my drawing number one and my drawing number two.grownups never understand anything by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.so then i chose another profession and learned to pilot airplanes.i have flown a little over all parts of the world，and it is true that geography has been very useful to me.at a glance，i can distinguish china from arizona.if one gets lost in the night，such knowledge is valuable.in the course of this life，i have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people.and that hasnt much improved my opinion of them.whenever i met one of them who seemed to me at all clearsighted，i tried showing him my drawing number one which i have always kept.i would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding.but whoever it was，he or she would always say: that is a hat.then i would never talk to that person about boa constrictors or primeval forests or stars.i would bring myself down to his level.i would talk to him about bridge，golf，politics and neckties.and the grownup would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.【语篇导读】作者的两幅画一直都得不到人们的真正理解，他感到非常困惑，希望能遇到一个理解自己的人，但希望总是落空。20the writer drew his first picture in order to_.ashow the grownups what the book was aboutbfrighten the grownups trying to enter the

sieferts are the kind of environmentally conscious family who has solar panels atop their home. they use timers on their kids showers and have planted drought-tolerant landscaping. but they feel kind of guilt. “i havent thought about the pool as much as i probably should,” said annette siefert. as californias drought worsens, swimming pools have become a target for those who think the classic backyard greens waste water. some water districts have banned new pools from being filled and have limited how much water existing pools can use. but some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they make a surprising discovery: pools arent the water wasters some have made them out to be. analyses by various water districts, along with scientific studies, conclude that pools and their surrounding landscapes use about the same amount of water as a lawn(草坪) of the same size. over time, pools might even use less water. with pool covers, experts say water evaporation(蒸发)can be cut by almost half, making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as drought-tolerant landscaping. facing complaints over a recent ban on filling pools, the santa margarita water district conducted its own water-use analysis. it found that pools require thousands of gallons of water to fill initially, but they use about 8,000 gallons less water than a traditional landscape after that. by the third year, the analysis found, the savings add up, and a pools cumulative water use falls below that of a lawn. water agencies such as the los angeles department of water and power have come to similar conclusions. armed with new information, santa margarita water district officials will reconsider their ban next week. “we want to respect the peoples rights to use thei
