25、les the waterfall would be on our left. After slowly climbing the first mile, the trail took us through a beautiful grassland and across the creek (小溪) a couple of times. We decided to turn back before reaching the waterfall, mostly because we were tired and still didnt know how much farther it was.

26、 While crossing the creek by walking on a downed tree trunk, our little Izzie fell into the creek and immediately started moving up and down in the current (水流).Immediately, I jumped into the creek after her.

28、ey were looking after Izzie, now safe in their arms. But I did hear one of the kids say: Thanks Dad, for saving Izzie.

29、hes, the squish (咯吱声) of water in my boots, or the embarrassment of nearly drowning in water; none of that mattered.

33、ate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold

34、 and heat. Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock.

37、. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.
