     While nature lovers across the world wish all humans to realize the significance of their natural
surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.
Julie Astonis, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is
approaching      Australia's Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers
in Julie's little garden, as she tells that in her community, "Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole
community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care
of their own garden."
     "Gardening is the most popular club in our community," she says. "A lot of retired people don't
just regularly organize gardening lectures, but also personally visit families in the community to provide
gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year."
     Talking about her people's sense of caring for the environment, Julie says when people in the
community take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog's waste. "In our
community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are
walking on the grass," says Julie with a smile."Taking care of the the dog's waste can also help to develop
children's sense of responsibility!"
     As to protecting water resources, the Australian goverment has made strict rules for families. Julie
says, "We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!"She says almost every family in her
community has a huge tank used to store rainwater, which is later used as the resource of all outdoor
water use, including car washing and watering the garden. This year, they also asked people to connect
the water tank with their toilets.

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
