1、The sun is about to set when we reach our destination, the home of a nomadic (游牧的) herder (牧民) family. My host, Batbayer, has a cheerful face, with deep wrinkles and a color from long hours working outdoors, giving him the look of a sailor from an Ernest Hemingway novel. We have pre-arranged our visit but travelers in Mongolia can drive up to pretty much any ger and feel welcomed to stay. You don't knock on the door: when you approach a nomadic family, a customary greeting is to say a kindly "Hold your dog.", even if you don't see a dog.
We feast at the family home on one of the country's most distinct and tasty dishes: khorkhog, or mutton cooked using hot rocks. This comes served with onions, a variety of berries, and milk-besides more plates of meat, all from the family's own livestock (家畜).
Mongolia is home to one of the world's few remaining truly nomadic cultures. About a fifth of the population are herders, and nomadism is complexly woven into the country's spirit. But modern life is catching up with the people on the grassland at rapid speed. This is in large part what my book is about: an outsider's exploration of a society undergoing modernization while trying to hold fast to its deeply rooted traditional values.
Many of the livestock here, especially the more valuable breeds such as horses, camels and cattle, are implanted with microchips that can be monitored via satellite-based services. "I would like to use the Internet more because it's fun and useful; but the animals like it here. This is a good place for them," Batbayer says when I ask if better Internet connectivity might influence where to move his livestock next. "I would never choose Facebook over the well-being of the animals."

18、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
That Saturday, after an early morning cup of coffee with Mama, Leonard, our grown brother, picked up his heavy tools and headed out for the old henhouse. Mama wanted him to tear it down for she was scared of me and Angie to play near it.
I was twelve and dogged Leonard's every step. Angie, our six-year-old sister, insisted she wanted to help, too. Mama told we would be in the way, but Leonard said, "Oh, they'll be all right." "Well, alright, but you girls watch out for rusty (生锈的) nails." Leonard worked hard to pry (撬) the stubborn, gray boards. Angie and I carried the boards to a pile he would later burn.
Suddenly, Angie started to scream and Mama came running. Sure enough, she had stepped on a rusty nail. Mama examined my sister's foot while Leonard looked at mine. On my way to see about Angie, I'd stepped on a nail, too. The grownups agreed we needed tetanus (破伤风) shots.
I hated shots. I would rather swallow a thousand pills for a thousand days than have one shot. While Leonard drove us to hospital, Mama cupped a hand around my ear. "Arlene, I need you to be brave so Angie won't be too scared. You know how she can put up a fight." Determined to be a brave girl, I didn't cry a single tear though my arm felt like it was on fire.
Then Mama lowered Angie onto the table to get the shot. That's when she made her big mistake. "Arlene, tell Angie it didn't hurt at all."
Her huge blue eyes stared into mine. I thought about how Angie trusted me the way I trusted Leonard. "If I tell her it won't hurt", I thought, "she won't ever believe me again." I knew what I had to do. I cupped my hands around my mouth and yelled, "DON'T LET THEM DO IT TO YOU, ANGIE!"
