Ⅱ．Passage translation．
I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do．It takes a couple of special qualities．One is a tolerance for solitude．Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget，we don＇t entertain much．During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway．Jim and Emily are involved in school activities，but they too spend most of their time at home．
The other requirement is energy—a lot of it．The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive labor-saving devices．Instead，you do the work yourself．The only machinery we own(not counting the lawn mower)is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw．
How much longer we＇ll have enough energy to stay on here is anybody＇s guess—perhaps for quite a while，perhaps not．When the time comes，we＇ll leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what we＇ve been able to accomplish．We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place，too．We＇ve invested about $ 35，000 of our own money in it，and we could just about double that if we sold today．But this is not a good time to sell．Once economic conditions improve，however，demand for farms like ours should be strong again．
We didn＇t move here primarily to earn money though．We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives．When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening，fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family，I know we＇ve found just what we were looking for．(This is an excerpt from Exploring Through Writing，2nd edition，1998，published by Cambridge University Press．It first appeared in Money magazine in 1984)
