He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me, than anyone, even my own wife.” I could see that he was crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal（丑聞）. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn（牲口棚）. “I wouldnt leave her out in the cold!” he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect (預(yù)計(jì)) me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door.He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow!

They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn. Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mothers exposure to sunlight in pregnancy (懷孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in the body. The lack (缺乏) of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on health. Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin”. It has a good effect on health. A study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, “These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.”( )6.
