The law went into effect on January l. California

2、 is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador eig

3、ht years ago without permission from the U.S. government. Some call such people illegal immigrants. Others call them undocumented immigrants. Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used

Robins are singing all night一a

11、s well as during the day, British-based researchers say. David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds biological clock, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep. Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside

12、 nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are

13、 at night.He told people at a conference, There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energ

14、y.And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal.

16、se.However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery.

As for me , I shared none of their canine desire.

20、“But why?” They pleaded. “Because I dont have time to take care of a dog.” “ But well do it.” “ Really? Youre going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” “Yes, yes, and yes.” “I dont believe you.” “We will. We promise.”They didnt. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that fi

21、rst day), neither thought to walk the dog . While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her , Misty knew this on day one .

Shed look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers , beam her need , and then wait , trusting I would understand which , strangely , I almost always did . In no t

23、ime , she became my fifth appendage（附肢）, snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read , and playing across my stomach as I watched television .Even so , part of me continued to complain about the walking duty . Joe and Becky had promised . Not fair , Id balk ( 不心甘情

24、愿地做 ) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair , ” I d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home .Then one day January 1 , 2007 , to be exact my husbands doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病 ) .With that , I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital , doin

25、g anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort . During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time , adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moments notice for medical emergencies. Every p

26、art of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted

27、to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the days medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the days upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious il

28、lness visits your household, its, not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joes blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or i

29、n the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow.Im grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, Ive com

30、e to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how hard the present or unpredictable the future , theres almost always some measure of joy t
