unit 1 Mr. Dohert?y Builds? His Dream Life In Americ?a many people? have a romant?ic idea of life in the countr?yside. Many living? in towns dream of starti?ng up their own farm, of living? off the land. Few get round to puttin?g their dreams? into practi?ce. This is perhap?s just as well, as the life of a farmer? is far from easy, as Jim Dohert?y discov?ered when he set out to combin?e being a writer? with runnin?g a farm.

We grow nearly? all of our fruits? and vegeta?bles. Our hens keep us in eggs, with severa?l dozen left over to sell each week. Our bees provid?e us with honey, and we cut enough? wood to just about make it throug?h the heatin?g season?. 这是一种自力?更生的生活。我们食用的果?蔬几乎都是自?己种的。自家饲养的鸡?提供鸡蛋，每星期还能剩?余几十个出售?。自家养殖的蜜?蜂提供蜂蜜，我们还自己动?手砍柴，足可供过冬取?暖之用。 3 It's a satisf?ying life too.
