WORD 资料可编辑 Unit 1 Caring for Our Earth Passage A Frog Story 蛙的故事 A couple of odd things have happened lately. 最近发生了几桩怪事儿。 I have a log cabin in those woods of Northern Wisconsin. I built it by hand and also added a greenhouse to the front of it. It is a joy to live in. In fact, I work out of my home doing audio production and environmental work. As a tool of that trade I have a computer and a studio. 我在北威斯康星州的树林中有一座小木屋。是我亲 手搭建的， 前面还有一间花房。 住在里面相当惬意。 实际上我是在户外做音频制作和环境方面的工作——作为干这一行的工具，我还装备了一间带电脑的工作室。 I also have a tree frog that has taken up residence in my studio. 还有一 只树蛙也在我的工作室中住了下来。 How odd, I thought, last November when I first noticed him sitting atop my sound-board over my computer.I figured that he(and I say he,though I really don ’ t have a clue if she is a he or vice versa) would be more comfortable in the greenhouse.

For five months now he had been riding there with me and I was suddenly overtaken by an urge to know why he was there and not in the greenhouse,where I figured he ’ d live a happier frog life. 于是有一天，我正在工作室里干活，电脑嗡嗡作响。当树蛙从我面前爬过时，我 不得不停止工作。他停下了并转过身来，坐在那儿看着我。好吧，我也干脆停下来望着他。 五个月了， 他一直这样陪着我。 我突然有一股强烈的欲望想了解他： 为什么他要待在这儿而不乐意待在花房里？我认为对树蛙来说，花房显然要舒适得多。 “ Why are you here, ” I found myself asking him. “你为什么待在这儿？”我 情不自禁地问他。 As I looked at him, dead on, his
