2．Think about the different ways that people use the wind．You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat．Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources（来源）．as well as one of  the oldest．Evidence shows that windmills（风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC．They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s．when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power．
     For many centuries，people used windmills to grind（磨碎）wheat into our or pump water from deep underground．When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s．people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity．This allowed them to have electrie lights and radio．However，by the1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States，windmills were rarely used．
   During the 1970s，people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electcicity．People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever．Then，wind was rediscovered，though it means higher costs．Today，there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind．

8．On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land，we watch the lines of rain move across the scene，the moon rise over the hills，and the stars appear in the sky．The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house．
    Every window in our wooden house has a view，and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before．Each look reminds us where we are．
    There is space for our three boys to play outside，to shoot arrows，collect tree seeds，build earth houses and climb trees．
    Our kids have learned the names of the trees，and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation．As they tell all who show even a passing interest，maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees．
    The air is clean and fresh．The water from the well has a pleasant taste，and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink．Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water，they never say anything against that．
    The seasons change just outside the door． We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars'（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring．The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears，and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter．A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake．
