giving milk. the streams were long gone back into the earth. if we didnt see some rain soon we would lose everything. i was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when i saw my six-year old son, billy, walking toward the woods. he was obviously walking with a great effort. trying to be as still as possible. minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. this activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. finally, my curiosity got the best of me. i crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.he was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(溅出) the water he held in them. branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. he had a much greater purpose. as i leaned in to spy on him, i saw the most amazing site.several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. but billy walked right up to them. i almost screamed for him to get away. and i saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head great effort to lap(舔) up the water cupped in my beautiful boys hand.i stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart i have ever known working so hard to save a life. as the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. and more drops. and more. i looked up at the sky. it was as if god, himself, was weeping with pride.56. what can be learned from paragraph 1?a. the writer lived in the hottest place. b. it wouldnt rain during the dry season.c.

video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. you almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. seeking

downshifted is daniel and liz. they used to work in central london. he was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. they would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. most evenings daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to new york for meetings. they both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of wales. “i always wanted to have a farm then,” says daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. its taken some time to get used to it, but its been worth. we have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. however, i think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.liz, however, is not quite sure. “i used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. im not really a country girl, but i suppose im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. one thing i do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. my advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”61. the passage tells us that .a. people seldom work long hours to make moneyb. people
