Why does the author think so?1) He had to pay the expensive tuition for his two girls.2) He had only a few thousand dollars in the bank. P9 There have been a few anxious moments since then, but on balance things have gone much better than we had any right to expect. For various stories of mine, Ive crawled intoblack-bear dens for Sports Illustrated, hitched up dogsled racing teams for Smithsonian magazine, checked out the Lake Champlain “monster” for Science Digest, and canoed through the Boundary Waters wilderness area of Minnesota for Destinations. P10 Im not making anywhere near as much money as I did when I was employed full time, but now we dont need as much either. I generate enough income to handle our $600-a-month mortgage payments plus the usual expenses for a family like ours. That includes everything from music lessons and dental bills to car repairs and college costs. When it comes to insurance, we have a poor mans major-medical policy. We have to pay the first $500 of any medical fees for each member of the family. It picks up 80% of the costs beyond that. Although we are stuck with paying minor expenses, our premium is low - only $560 a year -and we are covered against catastrophe. Aside from that and the policy on our two cars at $400 a year, we have no other insurance. But we are setting aside $2,000 a year in an IRA. Individual Retirement Account Individual Retirement Account refers to a US government plan that allows people to put part of their income into special bank accounts. No tax has to be paid on this money until they retire. In fact, “ IRA” is used more often. P11 Weve been able to make up the difference in income by cutting back without appreciably lowering our standard of living. We continue to dine out once or twice a month, butnow we patronize local restaurants instead of more expensive places in the city. We still attend the opera and ballet in Milwaukee but only a few times a year. We eat less meat, drink cheaper wine and see fewer movies. Extravagant Christmases are a memory, and we combine vacations with story assignments 1. What can we infer from the sentence?We can infer that the family used to spend much more money on Christmases。 P12 I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we dont entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home. P13 The other requirement is energy - a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resistthe temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw. P14 How much longer well have enough energy to stay on here is anybodys guess - perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not. When the time comes, well leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what weve been able to accomplish. We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too. Weve invested about $35,000 of our own money in it, and we could just about double that if we sold today. But this is not a good time to sell. Once economic conditions improve, however, demand for farms like ours should be strong again. P15 We didnt move here primarily to earn money though. We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives. When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family, I know weve found just what we were looking for. Main Idea of the text The author depicts vividly a pastoral scene in the countryside: he and his family canoe on the river, go picnicking in the woods, take long bicycle rides, and ski and skate in the winter. Meanwhile, the author reminds the readers that every coin has its reverse side. Farm life can get really tough: they suffer from floods, snowstorms, and they are too busy to socialize. So those who are ready to live the country life must be equipped with two special qualities-tolerance for solitude and a lot of energy. Tough as the country life is, the author still believes that he and his family have found their ideal way of life.

Summary With the improvement and contentment of living standard and the desire for true nature, many households have started to escape from the city life, which is crowded and full of noises, and pursue their suburban life, which is quiet and full of greenness. However, sometimes the suburban life is not so easy or contented as it seems, in reality, its harsh and tough. Thus, you should be equipped with some special qualities if you want to enjoy your country life Homework Passage One: Topic sentence: John is a good student. Details: 1) study hard 2) be too ready to help others Write two passages based on the two topic sentences and other words given.Passage Two: Topic sentence: T-shirts are very popular in USA. Details: 1) people at different places wearing T-shirts 2) people at different ages wearing T-shirts John is a good student. He studies very hard. Every morning he is always the first one in the school. In class, he listens carefully to the teachers lessons. After class, he finishes homework as soon as possible. Besides, John is too ready to help others. Whenever his classmates ask him for help, he will help them at once. For example, Jack was ill last week. John went to his home and told him what teachers had talked about in class. Because of these, all the teachers and his classmates think John is a top student. Click to returnPassage One T-shirts are very popular in USA. Wherever you go, you can see people wearing T-shirts. When you go to the beach, you can see almost all the people there wearing T-shirts. If you go to buy something in the supermarket, you can see most customers are in their colorful T-shirts. Besides that, it seems to me American people at different ages like wearing T-shirts. You can see not only kids and students in elementary schools but also workers and college students wearing T-shirts. You can even meet some old ladies wearing T-shirts in the street. All in all, T-shirts are really a favorite of American people.
