44、he time we lived in Prairie Village. I was about 3 years old. Mother would take me on nature h汰es along the small river' s banks.In the bushes we found insects, cocoons （繭）and butterflies. She made a butterfly net for me. While running after a butterfly in our back yard, I put the net down. Moth

45、er and I built snowmen, much taller than I, and we laughed aloud after a snowball fight. In the season of rain and flowers, singing birds and sunny mornings, the cocoon broke open, and a brilliant white butterfly came out.One of our favorite books was “The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher." I would si

46、t at Mother's side as she read the story. I consider the years spent with Mother "On the River" a foundation to a lifelong interest in sciencer inspiring me, in part, to choose a career in medicine. I recall sitting with Mom on the front of the house in Baldwin late one June evening. D

47、ad' s tail-lights were disappearing quickly as he drove off to see his Dad, who was dying in Garnett.Mom said, “Oh, kids, we' re only here for such a short time.” Her words were also kind of scary to me at the time, because what I heard her say was that we are all destined（注定）to die, and she

48、 had told me once before that she was afraid to die. I guessed her message was more than “Our life on earth is short and we are all destined to die“ She meant that “Make the most of life while you can, here on earth. Reach for the stars!n . Mother also said "Oh, kids! We' II have the stars!

49、” She had 5 of the stars she1 d brought onto this earth. In 1963, 6th star was added, named Kip.All of us did well in our life. 1971 found me attending Baker University, and I found a star and married her in the middle of medical school.

54、y to test one of the most controversial economic theories of our time. The country* s social security institution known as Kela will be handing free money to thousands of jobless citizens on a monthly basis for the next two years. It s a test of an economic strategy known as Basic Income, which at i

The program was small in scale （規(guī)模）and timeline, and many questioned whether or not it could possibly prove the theory one way or th
