• 2．"Is this making us old or keeping us young？" my husband asked as he lifted the three heavy backpacks from the canoe.
     "I don't know，I replied.The heat and mosquitoes were getting to me，and I was wondering whether we were.jye.ai to have started a canoe trip during the hottest week of the summer.But even in fall，our canoe trips while certainly cooler-are no easier.
     I've always loved getting away from civilization to enjoy the peace of nature，to be on a news blackout（中斷）and to reflect on the past year and the year to come.jye.ai is why we've been doing this regularly for most of the 38 years we've been together.
     Now as we're getting older，it's getting harder-aching knees，aching feet，aching backs.So，we're changing our habits.Instead of extreme whitewater trips in the far north，we're going on lake trips closer by.Instead of pulling on the heavy pack myself and rising from a sitting position，my husband lifts it up while I thread my arms through the belts.Along the way，I might stop to admire the green plants beside the path or feel the soft surfaces of the moss，and my husband is usually waiting at the other end，wondering why it's taken me so long.During the night，we no longer stay up late to see the stars.Instead，we now get into the tent by 9 p.m. -exhausted after one day's hard work and drift to sleep listening to birds' sorrowful call.
     Over the years，my canoe-tripping experience has evolved to focus less on the physical and more on the abstract things.Like a solar battery，I store up the energy I absorb from the forest，rocks and waters to help me through the rest of the year.The rhythm of paddling becomes a process of deep thinking rather than an endurance（耐力）test.
     "How long can we continue doing this？ "asked my husband at the end of the last trip.
     "I don't know， "I answered，but inside，I thought： "As long as our bodies and minds hold out.I hope forever. "

  A Day at the Nature Center Amy stared sadly out of the bus window.It was her first trip as a student of her new school.When her parents sold their farm and moved to town，Amy had been enthusiastic.But at her new school，she felt extremely shy around so many strangers.Worse still，she missed all her animals on the farm.
      With a sign，Amy returned to the present.The bus stopped，and Amy climbed off with the rest of her classmates. "Welcome to the Nature Center，" her teacher，Mrs Brown，announced. "Shortly，a guide will give us a presentation about the area's native animals and habitat.Afterwards，you'll be given a worksheet to complete while you explore the rest of the center.Now，everyone，find a partner."
      Amy looked worried.She didn't have any friends yet…She hesitated for a moment and then approached Janet，an outgoing and confident girl who sat near her in class. "Could I be your partner？" Amy asked carefully.
      "Sure，" said Janet warmly， "I'll get the worksheet."
      After listening to the presentation，the girls examined their worksheets. "It says we must help feed the body squirrel （松鼠）.How big is a baby squirrel？Can we hold one？" said Janet excitedly，not waiting to hear Amy's response.
      When Amy and Janet walked into the squirrel area，they were greeted by an enthusiastic voice. "Hi，I am John Smith，the keeper here.Did you come to see the squirrels？"
      "Yes，" said Amy with an eager smile on her face. "Do we actually get to feed the babies？"
      "Sure，" John answered and then showed the girls how to wrap a baby squirrel in a tower and hold the bottle of warm milk.Amy settled back into a chair，enjoying the warmth of the tiny animal in her hand.She flashed a smile over at Janet，who was suddenly silent and focusing on her own baby squirrel.As a city-girl completely inexperienced in the handling of animals，Janet was feeling nervous.Then John asked， "Would you like to feed the adult squirrels？" Amy volunteered immediately.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
