Tired of the busy life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow
things down. We wanted to lead an environmentally-friendly life. None of us felt this could be
accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for
everyone.
Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, a very small town of less than 100 people,
where it is normal to record temperatures above 46℃ for days on end in summer and it is very wild
with practically no snowfall in winter.
When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available
in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there
to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on
Thanksgiving Day.
When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling and stayed in our motor home.
We were faced with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We
slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.
While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, we benefit a lot from living
off grid. I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of
conservation. They used to take power for granted. But now they realize the importance of power,
together with water and gas. We start taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning
off the water while brushing our teeth. And this has a chain effect. We are also trying to make other
changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own
organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would have normally thrown.
Overall, going without electricity has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move
out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned here.

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They
will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you.
Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place
or are directed at the wrong thing. To prevent or treat behavior problems, you are supposed to teach
the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience
training or training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about
any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective
communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple
request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish
yourself as top dog or leader of the pack by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its
subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks
for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and
make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be
allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language
study realized that sign languages are unique—a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to look
into how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific
debate: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it
is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one
wise teacher Bill Stokoe at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world’s only liberal arts
university for deaf people.

When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in
signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his
classroom teacher.
Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word
in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of
pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He
wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike
any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”. No
wonder that Stokoe’s idea was considered academically wrong then.
It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and
to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the
Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades, educators fought his idea
that sign languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language
must be based on speech, the adaptation of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of
hands, the adaptation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth
stuff—it’s brain stuff.”

D. A change of human languages.

B. Sign language is as natural as English.
C. A language should be based on the adaptation of space.

Why is a compliment (赞扬) so impactful? One of the most important things to humans is to feel
valued and respected by others, says Vanessa Bohns, a social psychologist, who has researched
compliments. According to her research, people feel “significantly better” after both giving and
receiving a compliment.
