  “Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents, ” grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.

  “It's so dreadful to be poor! ” sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.

  “I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all, ” added little Amy, with an injured sniff.

  “We've got father and mother and each other, ” said Beth, contentedly.

  The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly:“We haven't got father, and shall not have him for a long time.” She didn't say “perhaps never”, but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.

  Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone:“You know the reason mother proposed not having any presents this Christmas was because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering so in the army.We can't do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly.But I am afraid I don't”; and Meg shook her head, and she thought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.

  “But I don't think the little we should spend would do any good.We've each got a dollar, and the army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that.I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but I do want to buy UNDINE AND SINTRAM for myself; I've wanted it so long, ” said Jo, who was a bookworm.

  “I planned to spend mine on new music, ” said Beth, with a little sigh.

  “I shall get a nice box of Faber's drawing pencils; I really need them, ” said Amy, decidedly.

  “Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything.Let's each buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we work hard enough to earn it, ” cried Jo, examining the heels of her shoes in a gentlemanly manner.

  “I know I do-teaching those tiresome children nearly all day when I am longing to enjoy myself at home, ” began Meg, in the complaining tone again.

  “You don't have half such a hard time as I do, ” said Jo.“How would you like to be shut up for hours with a nervous, fussy old lady, who is never satisfied, and worries you till you're ready to fly out of the window or cry? ”

  “It's naughty to fret; but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world.It makes me cross; nd my hands get so stiff, I can't practice well at all”; and Beth looked at her rough hands with a sigh that anyone could hear.

  “I don't believe any of you suffer as I do.” cried Amy, “for you don't have to go to school with impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label your father if he isn't rich.”

  “If you mean libel, I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if papa was a pickle-bottle, ” advised Jo, laughing.

  “I know what I mean, and you needn't be satirical about it.It's proper to use good words, and improve your vocabulary, ” returned Amy, with dignity.

  “Don't peck at one another, children.Don't you wish we had the money papa lost when we were little, Jo? Dear me! How happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries! ” said Meg, who could remember better times.

  “You once said you thought we were a deal happier than the King children, for they were fighting and fretting all the time, in spite of their money.”

  “So I did.I think we are; for, though we do have to work, we make fun for ourselves, and are a pretty jolly set, as Jo would say.” Jo immediately sat up, put her hands in her pockets, and began to whistle.

  “Don't, Jo; it's so boyish! ”

  “That's why I do it.”

  “I detest rude, unladylike girls! ”

  “I hate affected, niminy-piminy chits! ”

  “Birds in their little nests agree” sang Beth, the peacemaker, with such a funny face that both sharp voices softened to a laugh, and the `pecking' ended for that time.

  Just five minutes of exercise a day outdoors can improve mental health, according to a study.
Researchers from the University of Essex, UK have found that as little as five minutes of a “green activity” such as walking, gardening, cycling or farming could help to improve mood and increase self-esteem (自信).
Many studies have shown that outdoor exercise can reduce the risk of mental illness and improve a sense of well-being, but the new study, led by Jules Pretty and Jo Barton, was the first to determine how much time needed to be spent on green exercise for the benefits to show.
Barton and Pretty looked at data from 1,252 people of different ages, genders (性別) and mental health status (情況) taken from 10 studies in Britain.
They analyzed their different outdoor activities including walking, gardening, cycling, fishing, boating, horse-riding and farming in locations such as a park, garden or nature trail (路徑).
They found that the mental health changes were seen after just five minutes. With longer periods of time exercising in a green environment, the positive effects were more apparent.
Looking at men and women of different ages, the researchers found the health changes were particularly strong in the young and the mentally ill.
Green and blue
A bigger effect was seen with exercise in an area that also contained water – such as a lake or river.
“This is because historically we are drawn to water to survive and it is in our genetic (遺傳的) make-up to be at one with nature,” the researchers wrote in their report.
Pretty said those who were generally inactive, or stressed, or with mental illness would probably benefit the most from “green exercise”.
“Employers, for example, could encourage staff in stressful workplaces to take a short walk at lunchtime in the nearest park to improve mental health.”
He also said exercise programs outdoors could benefit youth offenders.
【小題1】How is the study this article refers to different from other studies?

A.It involved more people.
B.It took longer to finish the research.
C.It determined the exact amount of time needed.
D.It was led by just two researchers.
【小題2】 What can we conclude from the findings of the study?
A.Just five minutes of “green exercise” daily can help improve mental health.
B.Gardeners and farmers do not need “green exercise”.
C.Walking in a park with a lake will weaken the effect.
D.“Green exercise” is not suitable for the mentally ill.
【小題3】. According to Pretty, _______ would probably benefit the most from “green exercise”.
A.stressed, inactive peopleB.office workers
C.youth offenders D.women and children
【小題4】 What is the main problem discussed in this article?
A.Physical well-being. B.Outdoor exercise.
C.Mental illness. D.Harmony with nature.

This year’s World Food Prize will honor two leaders of hunger-fighting groups based  in the United States. The winners are David Beckmann of Bread for the World and Jo Luck of Heifer International. They will share the prize of 250,000 dollars. The World Food Prize usually goes to researchers or top policy officials. This is the first time it will recognize the work of nongovernmental groups.

Heifer International provides donated animals and training to farmers in 50 countries. Jo Luck remains president until next year. Under her leadership, the group’s budget grew from less than 10,000,000 dollars to more than 130,000,000 dollars. Jo Luck, “People pass on their gifts of not just animals but also gifts of training and leadership. We have seen cases where we have been gone 5 and 10 years and we go back and they have developed roads and built schools, and they have other communities receiving the animals and the training. You just give them those resources and that training and opportunity, and you cannot hold them back.” She told the story of a woman from a poor village in Zimbabwe. A family member helped send her to school in the United States with earnings from a donated milk goat. She received a doctoral degree. Jo Luck, “That is what a goat did. That is one example. The animal is only the catalyst(催化劑). That is the beginning of many other things that follow.”

David Beckmann became president of Bread for the World in 1991. He is an economist and a Christian clergyman(牧師). Bread for the World organizes people from religious and non-religious groups to write, call and visit members of Congress(國(guó)會(huì)). The purpose is to support measures to improve the lives of the poor. David Beckmann points to big increase in American development assistance. He said, “I think that would not have happened without the support of hundreds of thousands of people and churches that are part of Bread for the World and that keep the pressure on their members of Congress.” The prize committee also credited his efforts with helping to increase aid to needy families in the United States.
