25、he woods, ” with a tone（語(yǔ)氣） of airy acceptance It is similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone Im looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel lik

26、e for a whileWe sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring（探索） Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today History seemed to be mostly about explorers Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came

27、 up along the way Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial moundOften we got “l(fā)ost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, b

33、or a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a remarkable price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing.

34、 and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered.

35、fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use t

36、o me at all.

In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between. Research shows that if high schools provide career-relate

52、d courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.
