　　Every winter the Indians caught beavers（河貍或稱為海貍）. They sold these beaver furs to men from France. In the 1600s and 1700s, people in France wanted beaver furs for coats and hats. Other countries wanted these furs, too. Wearing a beaver fur hat became a sign. It said, “Look at this man! This man is rich!”

　　In the 1800s, men in this country began to wear beaver hats. They, too, wanted to wear the sign that said, “Look at those men! They are rich!”

　　Soon it was hard to find beavers. To get more beaver furs, traders had to move West. Traders began to explore this new country. They came back with wonderful stories about the new land. Before long, many people wanted to go West to live.

　　Winter break! Two whole weeks without homework－two whole weeks of heaven．Two weeks to relax．I imagined myself getting plenty of sleep．I planned on reading“The Giver”, which I hadn't had time to read．

　　But soon I noticed something：I couldn't sleep．It would be 12∶30 a. m．a(chǎn)nd I would be trying to fall asleep．I would begin thinking that I haven't done anything today!

　　This happened the next night, and the night after．During the day, when I had free time, I would be pacing(踱步)around the room moaning(抱怨)that I had nothing to do! I was eating when I wasn't hungry．I was playing a computer game even though it was boring．

　　The truth, I concluded, is that relaxation doesn't mean doing nothing．Relaxation means doing something enjoyable．I planned to swim at the local high school．I set up a practice schedule of an hour and a half per day．I decided to read two books that my friend had recommended(推薦)to me．I planned to do a little community service work, volunteering to help at the nearby old people's home for two hours every day．After doing those things, writing e-mails to my friends, watching DVDs and sleeping 12 hours a day, my days are full．And I'm truly having fun relaxing．

　　Of course, some of my earlier wishes have come true．Being free from school work has taken a load off my mind, helped me to get in perspective(洞察力)and brought me back in touch with my family and myself．Getting so much sleep has done wonders for my state of mind．

　　After each past winter break, I haven't been able to say what I did, how I used my time．This winter break will be different．I am relaxing by working．

1．How did the author feel about the vacation at first?

_________________________
