Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased move away,. Even

when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused .

Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all

three generations regard the move to a success,giving them a closer relationship than they would have had

in separate cities.

No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and

grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s

mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for

her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents com. 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson

‘s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two

-thirds believe more families will

follow the example of Obama’s family.

“In the 1960s we were all a

little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough fsst enough to

prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby, publisher of grate manazine for grandparents .We

now realize how important family is and how important”” to be near them, especially when you’re raining

children.”

Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren

and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having

your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the

life you know may be harder.

（干细胞）

in my little box because I've got two ice

packs and that's how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(

I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in

1

Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at

the check-

in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:”Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news

for you-there are no fights from Washi

ngton.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:”In this

box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-

please, please, you’ve got to get me back to

the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a s

mall

plance to be held

As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than

energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing

machines of wind farms; yet they never take

severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (

财政补贴

) , which encourage the expansion of wind

power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (

居

民

) .

Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out

of

proportion(

比例

)

to

the

benefits

they

bring,

because

their

energy

output

cannot

match

that

of

the

carbon- based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a

mix

of

renewables,

nuclear

and

carbon,

and

that

the

country

is

committed

to

meeting

EU

(

European

Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.

Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to

publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The

two parties in the coalition (

联合

) government are in disagreement over what it should say.

We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge.

Even if

it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not

like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why

they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.

The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an

that

the

politics

of

coalition

government

are

doing

the

country

harm

in

a

certain

way.

Given

the

sensitivities

involved,

all

the

information

should

be

available

so

that

people

can

reach

their

own

conclusions,

rather

than

being

left

with

the

suspicion

（猜疑）

that

facts

are

being

replaced

by

political

beliefs.

A garden that’s just right for you

Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden

appeared to total more than the sum(

总和

) of its parts? 36

. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts

with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you

approach the gardening process.

●

37

Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color.

Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(

肥

料

). 38 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One

of them comes from our earliest years.

●Recall(

回忆

) your childhood memories

Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden

and

Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important.

gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time
