Her trip today was to determine whether it had healed enough to be fitted with a prosthesis (假肢). The loss had been a disaster

13、 to her. Intellectually, she knew that this loss should not interfere with her life; but emotionally, she just couldnt overcome this obstacle. Her doctor had suggested imagination, but she had been unable to imagine such an emotionally unacceptable, lasting image.The word “pirate” changed her life.

14、Instantly, she was transported. She saw herself dressed as Long John Silver, standing aboard a pirate ship. She stood with her legs wide apartone artificial. Her hands were clenched (握紧的) at her hips, her head up and her shoulders back, as she smiled into a storm. Cold water blew across the board as

Earlier springs that confuse migrant birds, more efficient farming and the transformation of ruined buildings (good for nesting) into modern hom

20、es have all contributed to these woes.But data released by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), a research charity, suggest some are rising. Tracking bird populations by means of regular surveys, the figures give the clearest picture of 49 species across Britain.Blackcaps ( 黑顶林莺), small woodland

21、 birds native to Germany and eastern Europe, areunwilling to return after their summer short visits: since 1967 numbers have increased by 177%.
