29、tion. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lightening severely affects migrating (迁徙) birds.

But it was quite by accident that I d
37、iscovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the long way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限
38、制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Bann
39、er with husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs
40、 and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish lea
41、ping out of the water, it was better than the ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons (见识).We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories. I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of roa
42、d, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone a
43、dventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.46.

47、nary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫无掩饰的).In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, lov
48、e and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy -love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的).My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get form the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health. I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. F
