As our van pulled up to the ranch (牧场) to start a three-month program for troubled boys, we passed a cowboy on his horse. Bill was the owner of the ranch. We made eye contact through the dusty window and he winked (挤眼睛) at me and touched the brim of his cowboy hat in welcome.All summer long Bill and his ranch-hands taught us to ride horses, chop wood, and round up cattle. We started to understand the value of working with our hands. Knowing how important it was for boys like me to know that someone believed in them, he trusted us to do the job and do it right. We never let him down.The last day at the ranch, Bill pulled me aside and praised me for the work I had done-- not only on the ranch, but also on myself. He told me if I ever needed anything I could count on him.Four years later, I took him up on that offer. I called him up and asked for a job. I told him how his confidence in me had given me the’ courage to change my life. He offered me a job on the spot. I’m proud to say that each summer I’m the one in the ranch to open the gate for a van full of young men who need someone to believe in them, so they can learn to believe in themselves.

The night is not what it was. Once, the Earth was cast half in shadow. Then came fire, candle, and light bulb, gradually drawing back the curtain of darkness. But a brighter world has its drawbacks.An estimated 30 percent of outdoor lighting--plus even some indoor lighting--is wasted. Inefficient lighting costs U. S. about ＄10.4 billion a year, according to Bob Gent of the International Dark-Sky Association, a nonprofit that aims to control light pollution.Last year in Sydney, an estimated 2.2 million Australians switched off their lights during "Earth Hour", briefly reducing that city’s energy use by more than 10 percent. Motivated by such trends, more than two dozen cities worldwide went dim on March 29 this year in an hour-long demonstration.A number of groups are trying to measure light pollution and assess its effects on the environment in the hope that people will reduce their own contribution to the problem. Scientists aye trying to report how many stars we can see. In dark rural areas, about 2,000 stars are typically visible at night, compared with "maybe five" in a bright city square--and about 5,000 in centuries past.People who are working while others are star-gazing may face the greatest risks. Nighttime exposure to white light can cause the growth of tumors (肿瘤), experiments show. Two decades of research indicate that women who work night shifts have unusually high rates of breast cancer. The word "drawbacks" in the first paragraph probably means （）
