Passage 1
When I was thirteen, my family moved from Boston to Tucson, Arizona、 Before the move, my father gathered us together after dinner on a freezing January night、 My sisters and I clustered around the fire,unaware that the universe was about to suddenly change its course、 "I've been transferred、 In May, we' re moving to Arizona、 ”
The words--so small, Just two sentences-didn't seem big enough to hold my new fate、 But without any further ceremony, the world changed and I woke up on a train moving across the country、 I watched the landscape shift like a kaleidoscope (万花筒) from green trees to fat dusty plains to soaring mountains as I glimpsed strange new plants that hinted of mysteries yet to e、 Finally, we arrived and settled into our new one-story adobe(土墙)home、
While my older sisters grieved the loss of friends, schools, dances、 and trees, I eagerly explored our new surroundings、 I never realized there could be such a variety of cacti (仙人掌): saguaro, pincushion, prickly pear, barrel, cholla、 Nor could I ever have imagined trees as strange as the Joshua trees that grew in our yard And the mountains I had never seen mountains before, and now they surrounded me、
One afternoon, I was out exploring as usual and found a new kind of cactus、 It looked like a green ball covered in soft white fur、 I crouched down for a closer look、 "You’d better not touch that、 That white stuff may look like harmless fur, but they're actually spines and they're the devil to get out、”
I turned around to see a woman who seemed to have emerged from the desert itself、 Everything about her was brown--boots, skirt, skin- except for her startling white hair and eyes of a blue that matched the color of the sky、
"Are you new to this neighborhood? I haven't seen you before、 "I explained that I was, in new to the entire state、
"My name is Ina Thorne、 I've lived here since I was eight years old、 How are you adjusting to life in the desert? It must be quite a shock after living in Boston、”
How could I explain how I found the desert? I tried, haltingly, to tell her how the desert affected me, but I couldn't seem to find the right words、
"It's the freedom, "she offered、 "That vastness when you stand on the mountains overlooking the desert-you can sense how little you are in parison with the world that surrounds you、 At the same time, you feel that the possibilities are limitless、”
It was as if she had read some inner diary、 That was it、 That was the feeling I'd had ever since I’d first seen the mountains of my new home I trembled inside hoping that this woman who captured the essence of the desert itself wouldn't just send me away with a pat on the head, as adults do、 I saw in her a true friend、 Again, my life would change with just a few simple words、
“Would you like to e to my ranch tomorrow afternoon---if your parents don’t mind? Someone should teach you which plants you should and shouldn’t touch、”

Passage 2
Mr、 Abu, the laboratory attendant came in from the adjoining store and briskly cleaned the blackboard、 He was a retired African sergeant from the Army Medical Corps and was feared by the boys、 It he caught any of them in any petty thieving、 he offered them the choice of a hard smack on the bottom or being reported to the science masters、 Most boys chose the former as they knew the matter would end there with no long interviews, moral arguments and an entry in the conduct book、
The science master, a man called Vernier, stepped in and stood on his small platform、 Vernier set the experiments for the day and demonstrated them, then retired behind the"Church Times” which he read seriously in between walking quickly along the rows of laboratory benches and advising boys、 It was a simple heat experiment to show that a dark surface gave out more heat by radiation than a bright surface、 During the class, Vernier was called away to the telephone and Abu was not about, having retired to the lavatory for a smoke、 As soon as a posted guard announced that he was out of sight, minor pandemonium(混乱)broke out、 Some of the boys raided the store、 The wealthier ones took rubber tubing to make catapults and to repair bicycles, and helped themselves to chemicals for developing photographic films、 The poorer boys, with a more determined aim, took only things of strict mercial interest which could be sold easily in the market, They emptied stuff into bottles in their pockets, Soda for making soap, magnesium sulphate for opening medicine, salt for cooking, liquid paraffin for women's hairdressing, and line yellow iodoform powder much in demand for sprinkling on sores, Kojo objected mildly to all this、 “Oh, shut up !"a few boys said Sorie, a huge boy who always wore a fez indoors, manded respect and some leadership in the class、 He was gently drinking his favorite mixture of diluted alcohol and bicarbonate---which he called"gin and fizz"---from a breaker、 "Look here, KoJo, you are getting out of hand、 What do you think our parents pay taxes and school fees for? For us to enjoy-or to buy a new car every year for Simpson?” The other boys laughed、 Simpson was the European headmaster, feared by the small boys, adored by the boys in the middle school, and liked, in a critical fashion, with reservations, by some of the senior boys and African masters、 He has a passion for new motor-cars, buying one yearly、
e to think of it, "Sorie continued to Kojo, "you must take something yourself, then we'll know we are safe、 " "Yes, you must, "the other boys insisted、 Kojo gave in and, unwillingly, took a little
