-新视野第三册Unit1 I Am Home-第 3 页I Am Home Para 1 I grew up on a farm with a huge family.There was lots of love,lots of space and lots to do.From gardening in the greenhouse to chasing our old goose,feeding the goats to gathering the cattle,the world"bored"never found its way into my vocabulary.The work for us was a labor of love.Para 2 My family and I were very close,spending most nights playing games or telling stories until it was time to go to bed.Falling asleep was never a problem for me.I just listened to the sounds of singing birds and dreamed of another day on the farm.This was my life,and I knew I was lucky.Para 3 When I was 12,though,something terrible happened that would change my life forever.My father suffered a serious heart attack and was diagnosed with heart disease.The doctors informed my dad that he would need to change his lifestyle completely,which meant no more farming life.We were forced to sell our home and move west.Para 4 The dry Arizona air was good for my father,and I was adjusting to a new school,new friends and a new way of living.While my surroundings were different and strange,they were also exciting and fun.As fate would have it,my life would soon change again,and in a very big way. Para 5 One day,a personal manager from Los Angeles came up to me and asked if I had ever thought about being an actress.The idea had never crossed my mind.After talking it over with my parents,we decided that my mother and I would move to Los Angeles for a while and give it a shot.Para 6 Thank goodness my mother was right by my side from the very start.Together,we approached it like an adventure.When my first film was a success,my mother and I both decided that it was time for her to depart and resume her life in Arizona.The little girl from the farm was disappearing and being replaced by a women in the big city. Para 7 I truly loved my job and was treated like a queen.And yet,something was missing.Slowly,a dark void found its way into my heart and began to eat away at my happiness.Para 8 I tried to figure out what was missing.I tried working harder,then working less.I made new friends and lost touch with old ones.Nothing I did seemed to fill the void.I tried to remember when I was happiest.I asked myself what was important to me.Finally,I had the answer.I knew what I had to do to be happy.Once again,my life was about to change.Para 9 I called my mother and father and said,"I miss you so much.I need my parents back.I am buying a place out here and I want you to move to California."My father was not too keen on the idea of being back in the rat race,but I assured him that this time it would be nothing like that.So we began looking for a place just like I remember growing up in.Para10 Then one day we found it:the perfect home,nestled in a warm and sunny valley with pear trees in the yard.The move renewed my family's happiness;the dark void in me began to disappear;and a sense of balance returned to my soul.I was home,again.我从小就有一个庞大的家庭农场。那里有很多爱，空间和很多很多要做。从园艺温室内追逐我们的老鹅饲养的山羊，采集的牛，单词“无聊”不会出现在我的字典。我们的工作是爱的劳动。我的家人和我非常亲密，花费最晚玩游戏或讲故事，直到它的时间去睡觉。睡着了没有我的一个问题。我只是听鸟儿歌唱的声音和梦想的一天在农场。这就是我的生活，我知道我很幸运。我12岁的时候，虽然，可怕的事情发生了，将永远改变我的生活。我的父亲患有严重的心脏病，被诊断出患有心脏病。医生告诉我爸爸他要改变他的生活方式，这意味着没有更多的农耕生活。我们不得不卖掉我们的房子和西移。亚利桑那干燥的空气对我的父亲有好，我得适应一个新的学校，新的朋友和新的生活方式。我的环境是不同的，奇怪的，他们也同样令人兴奋和有趣的。像是命运的安排，我的生活将再次改变，并在一个非常大的方式。一天，一个来自洛杉矶的私人经理来找我，问我是否想过当个演员。我从来没想过。我的父母聊过之后，我们决定让我的母亲和我要搬到洛杉矶一会儿，给它一个机会。谢天谢地，我的母亲是我的身边，从一开始。在一起，我们像经历了一场冒险。当我的第一部电影是成功的，我的妈妈和我都认为这是她离开亚利桑那州重新开始她的生活时间。从农场的小女孩正在消失，被在大城市的妇女所。我真的热爱我的工作，像对待一个女王。然而，缺少点什么。慢慢地，一个黑暗的虚空找到了我的心，开始吞噬我的幸福。我试图找出失踪了。我试着更努力地工作，那么少。我交了新朋友，与老朋友失去了联系。我似乎填补空白，什么都没有。我记得我是幸福的。我问我自己，什么对我才是重要的。最后，我有我的回答。知道我要做的事是幸福的。再一次，我的生活也在改变。我叫我的母亲和父亲说，“我很想念你。我需要你们回来。我在这买个地方，我要你去加利福尼亚。”我的父亲不在你死我活的竞争太热心，但我向他保证，这次它会不一样。所以我们开始寻找一个地方，就像我记得成长然后有一天，我们发现：完美的家，坐落在温暖和阳光谷和院子里的梨树。此举更新我的家人的快乐；在我的黑暗虚空开始消失；和平衡感，回到了我的灵魂。我回来了，再次.
