In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that led to some serious thinking about lifes purpose. Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Partons foundation(基金会)that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singers home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, ”Tim recalled. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”. Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts. The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didnt want to give the children rubbish, ”says Linda. The booksreviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board membersincluded classics such as Ezra Jack Keats The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdneys Llama Llama series. Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12, 200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books Ive never heard of. ”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die, ”says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left. ”【文章大意】本篇为人物故事。Tim在经历一次心脏手术之后, 他开始思考人生的目的, 受到了Dolly Partons foundation所进行的一个帮助孩子读书的项目的启发, 在退休之后开始为孩子免费送高质量的书。他们从自己所从事的这项事业中认识到人生的价值所在。1.

One in five British workplace deaths happens in agriculture even though farmers are only a small part of the working population. During the year 2010/11 there were 1, 061 injuries in total and it is thought many more go unreported. Jim Chapman from Warwickshire had his arm torn off by farm machinery seven years ago when he was 23. “You dont realize how much you rely on your second arm until its gone, ”he said. He fell against a PTO shaft(传动轴), a spinning metal bar at the back of a tractor. “It catapulted(猛力掷出)me from one side of the machine to the other, ”he said. “I landed on the floor, minus all my clothing. My left arm had been ripped off. ”He admitted that the machinery was missing part of its proper safety guard. “But again, ”he added, “it was a rushed day. There were a few machines that didnt work. Also, I was getting behind with the jobs. ”Over the last 10 years, other industries that youd think of as dangerous, like building or quarrying(采矿), have lowered the number of workplace deaths and injuries. In the farming industry though, deaths remain high with 34 deaths in 2010/11. Judith Hackitt, the chair of the Health and Safety Executive(HSE)says it is“not acceptable”that the accident statistics for farming are still high. “People in farming dont have minor(较小的)injuries. When they get injured, its bad, ”she said. “When I said to the National Farmers Union(NFU)that if I had sons I would not want them to work in agriculture, it really made them sit up and take notice. ”Theres a whole host of reasons why farming is as dangerous as it is. It is a very rough industry. Also, its often because people are left alone. They could be young and inexperienced, or older people, who would have retired maybe 5 or 10 years ago in other industries. Jim wants others to learn from his experience. “Look at what youre doing before you go running in, ”he said. “You could make a mistake that youll live with for the rest of your life. ”【文章大意】本文主要介绍英国农民在做事时受伤的现象。5.
