My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and
41 those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again
42 at the pier（碼頭）waving good-bye to my father as his
43 pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of
44 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of
45 in the new environment again.Throughout the years of changing
46 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood—my mother. For both my
47 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while
48 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the
49 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.
50 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother
51 managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and
52 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,
53 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to
54 a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 55 into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to
56 another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a
57 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and
58 pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a
59 attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so
60 all those years of my childhood—she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

ushes, which act as a
very big and firm wall, protect the open land from the winds. The way to stoop soil erosion on slopes is to build terraces on the slope of hillside and mountainside. When the slope of a hillside is cut into “step”, water carrying soil can not run straight down the terraces, which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it. In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces, much soil in it.

ealth bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog. Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides （提供）a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money. People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance （保險）for their dog. In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage （損壞）their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
