14.Living an adventurous lifeNearly ten years ago,I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤),and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever.I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over.I did not have a brain tumor,it turned out,but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化),which meant that,although they were not over,the nature of my adventures could have to change.
Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event,something that I might not have had.Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention; buttoning my shirt,changing a light bulb,walking down stairs.I might not be able to do it this time.If I could not delight in them,they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.
I admire the grand adventures of others.I read about them with interest.With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain.I have walked with Annie Dillard up,down,into,and across Tinker Creek in all seasons.David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast,and Ed Abbey has rowed me down the Colorado River,I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures,who can strike out on difficult trips-2 miles,250 miles,3000 miles-ready to bear cold and tiredness-indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.
But as for me,I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read.Some days I don't even make it to the backyard.And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life; the difficulty of it,even the pain,the an xiety and fear,and the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive.
I refine adventure,make it smaller and smaller.And now,whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat,lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness,gathering flowers from the garden,meeting a friend for lunch,I am always having the adventures that are mine to have.

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 flour 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 electric lights and radio.However,by the 1940s,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 electricity.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.Do you want to improve your quality of life?Here is some advice.
(1)Make it a pointto do something brave every day.(36)G This might mean talking to someone that you generally wouldn't talk to or starting a project that you feel afraid of.There is no need to plan it in advance.
(2).Learn something new.Pick a topic,especially something you know nothing about and learn something aout it.(37)FIt helps to keep it if you have time to make a note of what you learned.
(3).Debate something.If you think you know about something,nothing will prove it like arguing(辩论)it with someone who's smarter than you.(38)D This is easier said than done,but it can provide you with some of the best possible ideas.
(4).Spend time with a child.(39)A If you don't,I'm sure you have friends who would be happy to let you borrow theirs for a few minutes.It doesn't matter what age they are,children see the world entirely different.Look at it from their eyes.Enjoy the simple things again.
(5).Recognize what makes you happy.(40)E Everyone is working towards something,but what makes you happy now?Think of it and try to add more of what made you happy yesterday to today.
