　　In some parts of the United States， farming is easy. But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country， which is called New England.
　　New England has many trees and thin， rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging the stumps （树桩） of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land.
　　This work of removing stones never really ends， because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today， farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones.
　　That is why stone walls are used instead of fences （篱笆） around New England fields. The stone walls are not high； a man can easily climb over them. But they keep the farmer’s cows from joining his neighbor’s cows.

　　Mr and Mrs Brown lived in a small town near London with their child. Sometimes Mr Brown came back home from work very late， when his wife and the child were asleep， and then he opened the front door of this house with his key and came in very quietly.
　　But one night when he was coming home very late， he lost his key， so when he reached his house， he rang the bell. Nothing happened. He rang it again. Again nothing happened.
　　Nobody moved inside the house. Mr Brown knocked at the bedroom window， he spoke to his wife， and he shouted， but she didn’t wake up. At last he stopped and thought for a moment. Then he began to speak like a small child. “Mother！” he said. “I want to go to the toilet！” He spoke quite quietly but at once Mrs Brown woke up. Then he spoke to her， and she opened the door for him.
