14、s the story in Alaska that Ill remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. Thats the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (腫瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas,

16、is terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we dont. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay atten

17、tion to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.In the end each of us has so little time.

18、ood, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.Ive picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light.

23、ave time and money, use the colleges bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You wont have to locate or afford a place to park either. Its also a good way to be environmentally aware. Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even

24、need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks its a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well.

31、 right, Im insured (保險)” Maybeif youre fully insured. Even then you can never recover the real value you place on your possessions. But you cant insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some stranger, our windows and doors broken, our precious possessi

32、ons ruined.“It wont happen to me” Wont it? A home is broken into every minute or so of the day. The thefts of all kinds, including cars and property stolen from cars, happen twice as frequently.“Ive nothing worth stealing” You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thiefs attentio

33、n. And we all have things of special value to us even if theyre worth little or nothing in cash terms.“Im just a tenant (房客) here” The thief doesnt care whether youre a tenant or an owner-occupier.

34、d fastenings are necessary.“Theyll get in anyway” Most thieves are on the lookout for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they cant get into in any quick and easy way.

39、f of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions

40、of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances (氣旋) hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. W

41、hen conditions are just right, warm, moist (潮濕的) air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is switched to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat i

42、ncreases, the young hurricane begins to turn around in a counter-clockwise motion (反時針方向).The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released (釋放) by a hurricanes rainfall in a single day would satisfy the en

43、tire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.Water, rather than wind, is the main source of death and destroying in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6-to-12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea the mountains of wate

47、 increasing heat D. the trade windsEI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (準允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math

48、lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (受挫), but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up

49、. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in li

50、fe. Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and hel

51、ping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. There
