36、ttle child, was sent with a handful of powdered tobacco leaves and red feathers to make an offering to the spirit who had caused the sickness of my little sister. It had been a long, hard winter, and the snow lay deep on the grassland as far as the eye could reach. The medicine-womans directions had

37、 been that the offering must be laid upon the naked earth, and that to find it I must face toward the setting sun.But now where was a spot of earth to be found in all that white monotony? They had talked of death at the house. I hoped that my little sister would live, but I was afraid of nature.I re

38、ached a little spring. I looked down to its bottom, wondering whether I should leave my offering there, or keep on in search of a spot of earth. If I put my offering in the water, would it reach the bottom and touch the earth, or would it float away, as it had always done when I made my offering to

39、the water spirit?Once more I started on in my search of the bare ground.The surface was crusted in some places, and walking was easy; in other places I would wade through a foot or more of snow.

A reed, whirling in the wind, had formed a space round its stem, making a loose socket. I stood looking int

41、o the opening. The reed must be rooted in the ground, and the hole must follow the stem to the earth. If I poured my offerings into the hole, surely they must reach the ground; so I said the prayer that l had been taught, and dropped my tobacco and red feathers into the opening that nature itself ha

42、d created.No sooner was the sacrifice accomplished than a feeling of doubt and fear thrilled me. What if my offering should never reach the earth? Would my little sister die?Not till I turned homeward did I realize how cold I was. When at last I reached the house they took me in and warmed me, but d

43、id not question me, and I said nothing. Everyone was sad, for the little one had grown worse.The next day the medicine-woman said my little sister was beyond hope; she could not live. Then bitter remorse was mine, for I thought I had been unfaithful, and therefore my little sister was to be called t

44、o the spirit land. I was a silent child, and did not utter my feelings; my remorse was intense.89 The phrase “white monotony“ (Paragraph 2) refers to the fact that（A）white people find farm life dull.（B） snow covers the landscape.（C） the narrator is blind.（D）nothing special happens in the story.90 Wh

I see rims on car wheels that cost upwards of $ 500, just for a little b

48、it of decoration on a vehicle. I see people spend four or five dollars for a cup of coffee, hundreds of dollars for cell phones that they almost never use, thousands of dollars on huge television sets that they almost never watch. All around us are ads and commercials that keep us wanting to buy thi

49、ngs that keep us dissatisfied with the way things are, and those ads and commercials are trying to convince us that if we just buy some more stuffno matter what the costwell be happier and more content.But somewhere along the line we have to learn to make our own decisions about value. Theres a common law of economics that states that many poor people will stay poor because of the decisions that they make about how to
