A
In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mum's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mum was his clerk. That left me in a mess（困惑、迷茫、混乱）. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mum and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mum rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder(驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped(包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbours of Alaska.

Around four years ago，I received a call from the principal (校长)of our school as to the“Parents View”talk the next morning.He asked me to speak to the group.After the call，my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night，I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally ，I gathered some courage. I thought，“If I miss this opportunity，surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”
I reached the school in time. Before my turn came，my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking ，my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry.I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly.I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading.That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness，Public Speaking.
After my speech，I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speaker，faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.
Around one month later，I was invited to refer to a topic on motivation.This time I was feeling comfortable.My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers ，because I was able to get my idea across to them.They encouraged and praised my efforts.
After delivering it successfully，I became more confident. I said to myself，“If I can speak in front of such a learned audience，like the principal who educates others，I can now speak in front of others too.”

The term “smog ” was first used in London during the early 1900’s to describe the combination of smoke and fog.What we typically call “smog ” today is a mixture of pollutants but is primarily made up of ground-level ozone (臭氧) ．
Ozone can be beneficial or harmful depending on where it stays.The ozone staying high above the Earth protects human health and the environment ，but ground level ozone is responsible for the choking，coughing ，and painful eyes associated with smog.The ozone in smog also prevents plants growth and can cause widespread damage to crops and forest. Major smog occurrences often are linked to heavy motor vehicle traffic，high temperatures，sunshine ，and calm winds.Weather and geography affect the position and severity of smog.Because temperature regulates the length of time it takes for smog to form，smog can form faster and be more severe on a hot and sunny day.When warm air stays near the ground instead of rising and winds are calm，smog may stay trapped over your city for days. As traffic and other sources add more pollutants to the air，the smog gets worse.Smog is often more severe away from the pollution sources because the chemical reactions that cause smog occur in the atmosphere while the reacting chemicals are being moved by the wind.
Smog is a visible example of air pollution.You can look into the distance during the day to
