考点规范练38(选修7 Modules 4-6) 考点规范练第76页 .阅读理解 A The summer before my senior year of high school,I was eating in a cafeteria with some other high school students,and one girl asked me,“Do you live in a teepee(圆锥形帐篷)?”It was such a silly question that,at first,I thought she was joking!I said,“Are you serious?”She said,“Oh,wait,I’m sorry.Is that something I shouldn’t ask?”She wasn’t trying to be rude,so it didn’t bother me.I just said,“No,I have a house with electricity and running water.I’m not disconnected from the world!”But the truth is,I did grow up differently. I’m a Native American,and I’m from a reservation in California.A reservation is a place that’s reserved for Native American tribes(部落) by the federal government. People often have misconceptions about what living on a reservation means.In reality,though,my life probably looks a lot like yours.But there are ways that my life has been different.The reservation is an hour from town,and there’s a big connection to the land.Our house is surrounded by a mountain,a river,and a farm.We have 23 animals including 10 chickens.It’s not just for show!We collect eggs from the chickens,use manure(粪肥) from the animals to fertilize soil,and pick fruits and vegetables from our garden. I’ve also learned how to hunt and fish.When hunting for deer,my tribe has two rules:1)Never shoot a female deer,because she might be pregnant,and 2)If you kill a deer,find a way to use all of it. |
