africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of botswanas okavango delta must rank as one of the worlds most exciting wildlife journeys.several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. the camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. they have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.the morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. it is unlike any other riding experience. with rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. it is truly exciting. you are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. on horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. the sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.in the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. as the suns rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of africa comes to life.back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.21.what does the

public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. this was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange probleminability to read.in the library, i found my way into the “childrens room.” i sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. the cover of a book caught my eye. it presented a picture of a beagle. i had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion i ever had as a child. he was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. i never forgot my beagle.there on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my dog. i ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. my eyes ran across the title, amos, the beagle with a plan. unknowingly, i had read the title. without opening the book, i borrowed it from the library for the summer.under the shade of a bush, i started to read about amos. i read very, very slowly with difficulty. though pages were turned slowly, i got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. the dog was my dog, and i was the little boy in the book. at the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and i were, in my mind, running together.my mothers call returned me to the real world. i suddenly realized something: i had read a book, and i had loved reading that book. everyone knew i could not read. but i had read it. books could be incredibly wonderful and i was going to read them.i never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. and years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a phd in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. the power of the words was held.28.the authors

clothes swap event and get something different in return.recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in springfield, virginia. it was the largest crowd ever for the areas popular clothing-swapping group.daphne steinberg was having a good day.“for anyone who knows ann taylor loft, ann taylor is a really nice womens designer and i will totally wear this to work. so i love that, i love that i can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, not totally bankrupt myself.”sandy van dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away. “because it helps to keep the earth green. theres no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse whats already here. give it a new home- let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”kim pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in springfield. she also organized a money-raising activity for the high schools debate team. it is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes. another is by donating all of the“un-swapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.“i started doing this four years ago, and weve been doing it for four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”she used the social media website to help publicize the events. the website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. mrs.pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules. but she say competition for desirable fashion can be strong.“we have to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people
