flowers or rocks;or inspiring a discussion on her most recent "Book of the Month Club"
topic.Mom made learning fun.?
It w as sad for my three brothers and me to see her ailing in her later years.At
eighty-five,she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.?
Two days be fore she died,my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her
for a short ride in a wheelchair.While we waited for the staff to lift her limp body back
into bed,Mom fell asleep.Not wanting to wake her,we moved to the far end of the room
and spoke softly.?
After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming
from across the room.We stopped talking and looked at Mom.Her eyes were closed,
but she was clearly trying to communicate with us.We went to her side.?
"Whirr," she said weakly.?
"Where?" I asked."Mom,is there something you want?" "Whirr." she repeated a bit
stronger.My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.
Mom opened her eyes,sighed,and with all the energy she could muster said,"Not
was.Say were!"
It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother's Jim's last sentence,
"if it was up to me..."?
Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek."Thanks,Mom," he whispered.We smiled at
each other and once again shook our heads this time in awe of a remarkable teacher.

Dou Te, a 54 – year – old single man, sleeps for extremely long periods of time in winter, thinking it helps him to lose weight and brings him good luck. Sometimes he sleeps for a week, sometimes for a month, waking only occasionally for a drink of water. This unusual habit of his attracted (吸引) the attention of a professor at a local university, who is studying him.
Dou Te is an agricultural consultant (顾问) and has no fixed working hours. He says he has had this habit of hibernation since the 1960’s, when one winter he felt particularly tired and became seriously overweight. Because of bad weather, he had to stay at home for several weeks, and he found that sleeping is the only way to get rid of the boredom, and from then on, he started to sleep in winter, whether it was day or night. As a result he lost 50 pounds that first year. At the beginning, he would get up in the mornings and have something to eat and take a shower, but then he read some materials and learned that every kind of need could be reduced during the hibernation, and he gradually learned to control his instincts. Now when he hibernates, he need only drink some water once a week; all his system slows down. And he hardly needs any food and certainly doesn’t need to wash.
Says he “For four months, I don’t eat or play. I save a lot of money, and when I wake up, I can use the money to improve my quality of life. Hibernation is really a good idea. If anyone else is interested, it is worth trying.”
