I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards and success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 1 chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart. I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I 2 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 3 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 4 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and 5 a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me, but slowly, they started teaching me the 6 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began sticking around to 7 . They started to teach me a belief in a 8 American Dream -- not the one of individual achievement but of 9 .
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 10 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 11 with my neighbors.
Four years later, I moved back into 12 . I saw many people were having a really hard time, 13 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 14 a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in 15 if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about how we can all get by together.

It’s hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world—it affects where we choose to love, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national characteristics. Studies have shown the changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate, cloudy skies slow sown reaction, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people bad-tempered.
If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random. In fact, the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe. In the UK the weather depends on depressions(低气压), often called lows, and anticyclones(高气压), also known as highs. These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean, and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east. Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind. In modern times, human activities seem to be altering weather patterns. Gases produced by heavy industry change the temperature of the Earth’s surface, and affect cloud formation. Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been one of the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s.
The human race has always tried to guess the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are frequent changes. Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns, popular poems include:
Red sky at night, shepherds’ delight; red sky in the morning, shepherds’ warning.
Flies will swarm before a storm.
Rain before 7, clear by 11.
While folk wisdom can still provide a guide to help forecast weather, today’s methods of prediction increasingly rely on technology. Satellites, balloons, ships, aircrafts and weather centers with sensitive monitoring equipment, send data to computers. The date is them processed, and the weather is predicted. However, even this system cannot predict weather for longer than about a week.
11.When weather keeps changing,
A.people become bad-tempered B.people’s reaction slows down
C.people find it hard to focus on their work D.people become hungrier
12.What is mainly talked about in the second paragraph?
A.Changes in weather. B.Weather in Britain.
C.African droughts. D.Research on weather.
13.The weather in Britain is .
A.random B.moist C.depressing D.satisfying
14.According to a traditional rhyme, if there is red sky at night, the next day will be .
A.windy B.rainy C.fine D.snowy
15.Which of the following statements in true?
A.Anticyclones often bring rain and wind.
B.Weather forecasting has been done for a long time.
C.Weather could never be predicted.
D.Modern methods of weather prediction are developed from folk wisdom.
