| Goldie"s Secret She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Comwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way,not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We"re moving house. ""No space for her any more with the baby coming. " "We never really wanted her,but what could we have done? She was a present. " People find all soris of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen. I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner"s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side,whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire. That"s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one" day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home,when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn"t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could. By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies(幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn"t know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day,soon after the puppies were born,and she just disappeared. " "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. I must admit I do miss Goldie,but I"ve got Nugget now,and she looks just like her mother. And I"ve leamt a good lesson: not to judge people. | ||||

| Technology today has stolen away our voices and robbed our children of memories. I"ve been keeping count of how often people sing around the house these days. The fact is,they don"t. My earliest memories are of my mother crooning lullabies(催眠曲) in a gentle low voice as she rocked each infant in tum. She said she " didn"t have a singing voice," but her low,wavering alto will always mean comfort to me. Every time I have sat through the night with a feverish body or held a pre-schooler through a nightmare,the melodies returned, words appearing and disappearing like fragments of a dream but held together by the hum(低声吟唱) of love. Today,young mothers are routinely presented with lullaby tapes at the baby shower. When baby cries, the idea goes,they will be able to switch on the high-tech audio system and the little one will drift off with the voices of strangers in his ears,perfectly on pitch. If I had my way,new parents would learn the songs themselves,throw out their stereos,and give their child the gift of their own sleepy voices through the midnight hours. These days,when we go on a trip,my daughters take along tiny personal stereos and headphones. They are lost in their private worlds,and I can"t help wishing that at least here,in the car,my girls would be forced to listen to their mother"s voice raised in lost-the-words again,sure I"m out-of-tune songs that they might then pass down to another generation. Those sophisticated earphones have robbed them of something I think every kid should carry from childhood car trips into adulthood. I drove away from that party humming,and all the way home the good old songs kept tumbling out. Dammit(该死) ,I thought,why did I ever stop singing in the car and start tuming on the radio instead? Why don"t I sign anymore while I"m doing the dishes? I"m going to yank those stereo wires right out of the wall when I get home. We"re going to sing grace before meals,sing coals around the piano,sing in the shower instead of switching on that waterproof radio that stole away our voices and our souls. | ||||

| 3. To the author,the voices of strangers ______. | ||||

| On May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad,New Mexico. She hadn"t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program,and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms (节奏) . In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth. During her time in the cave,Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable,but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She"d had no clock or watches,no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃. The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months,but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn"t kept to a 24-hour day. She had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 17 lbs in weight as a result ! She had also become rather depressed (抑郁) . How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she"d done some physical and mental tests.She"d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she"d played cards,read books and listened to music. She"d also learned French from tapes. The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature,for example,the pattem of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However,people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am,but others don"t start to wake up till 9:00 0r 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result,the early risers are at their best in the late moming. The late risers,on the other hand,are tired during the day and only come to life in the aftemoon or evening ! | ||||

| Today I am known for my voice. Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read the New Testament on tape. But it 1 a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a youngster I stuttered (口吃) 2 badly that I was completely 3 to speak in public. 4 ,when I was 14,Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was a retired college professor. Englishwas his favorite subject;poetry was his deepest love. He held a book of poems 5 it were a diamond necklace, tuming pages as if 6 treasures.
