Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and the light headache that came wi

19、th my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.As the season progressed, things had bee tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldnt listen to her when she

20、tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were being a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her no

21、thing yet. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldnt make me stop, and walked away.A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by

22、 being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing?” I looked up and saw the familiar face

23、. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.” When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction not a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that t

27、eally tried that for a couple of generations, it didnt work,” said Francine Jay, author of The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life.Thanks to a travel-inspired revelation (启发), Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12 years. “I always pa

28、cked as lightly as possible, and found it exciting to get by with just a small carry-on bag,” she told CNN. “I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this way？I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life.”Jay decided to get rid of all h

29、er extra possessions and live with just the essentials. “I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences, rather than things.”Jay is a follower of a movement called “minimalism (极简主义)”. Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world. They share the same feelin

30、g of disappointment with modern life and a desire to live more simply. Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment, Leah Watkins, a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, told Stuff magazine in March.But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning

31、too many possessions. Depression with the materialism of our world isnt new. English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how depressing this was back in 1802, at the beginning of the industrial age, when he wrote: “Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers”. His preference was to go back

32、to nature. Closer to our own times, the hippies (嬉皮士) of the 1960s also sought to “drop out” of modern life.And for many minimalists, their key is to unload. “Without objects, they believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and thats where life happens,” wrote Stuff.But does sim

33、plicity ever feel like a sacrifice？“Its eliminating the excess unused items, unnecessary purchases from your life. Well, I may have fewer possessions, but I have more space Minimalism is making room for what matters most,” said Jay.And “the real questions”, according to Duane Elgin, US social scient

34、ist, are “what do you care about?” and “what do you value?”He told CNN: “Its important for people to realize minimalism isnt simply the amount of stuff we consume. Its about our families, our work, our connection with the larger world, our spiritual dimension. Its about how we touch the whole world.

35、 Its a way of life.”28.

38、e have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply.DMeasles (麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine (疫苗). But the disease is making a eback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine mo

39、vement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, pared with 189 for all of last year.The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in t

40、he nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who cant be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesnt work. But herd immunity works only when nea

41、rly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.Thats exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Bro

42、oklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out (决定不参

43、加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption （豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for o

44、pting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but theyll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks. 3

55、ng the 44 decorations on Papas tree, I couldnt help gently touching the very oldest of the glass balls, which were on the uppermost branches, safely out of 45 of tiny hands. When the tree was beautifully dressed and glowing, we bid my dad goodbye with lots of hugs and kisses and 46 for home. Later t

56、hat night, in the quiet darkness, I pulled my 47 up close and lay down to rest and remember.The Christmas I turned 16, while decorating the tree with Mama, I 48 dropped and broke a decoration. The old glass ball was blue and its surface began to fall 49 ; it had been on our tree for as long as I cou

57、ld remember. 50 I bent to pick up the broken pieces and was surprised to find a tiny sheet of paper among the pieces. Unfolding it, I recognized my fathers penciled writing. Lifting my eyes, I saw my mothers 51 expression.“Your daddy wrote that and 52 it in that blue ball during our first Christmas

58、together, just before you were born,” she said with a smile. I wouldnt have believed it 53 the proof there in my hands. The daddy I knew always looked upon getting the tree decorated as a chore he wanted 54 to do. In fact, sometimes he could be a bit of a lazy and mean man around the holidays! And y

59、et this bit of 55 paper proved that long ago my daddy had done something apparently romantic at Christmas.Carefully laying the note aside, I cleaned up the broken pieces, wishing I could 56 restore the pieces. “Its OK,” Mama said, encouraging me with a hug. “Just pick out another of the 57 ones and

60、folded the note back inside.” 58 as we celebrate the holidays without Mama, who we lost to cancer, my 59 bees more bitter. Each year as I decorate Papas tree, I relive the moment I shared with her that winter afternoon and tears of a sadness welled out.As I carefully handle those old decorations, I love knowing that one holds a 60 between Papa and Mamaone that was obvious to all who knew them. The note inside one of those old glass balls on Papas tree holds the heart of my parents marriage in three little words: “I love you.” 41. A. amazedB.
