1 Unit 3 A healthy life
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Despite growing up in Croydon and Liverpool，neither Grace nor Paul felt at home
in the city.After meeting at Staffordshire's Keele University，they fell in love
with Skye on a geology field trip in 1979.
“The island is only 50 miles north to south，but the variety of terrain(地形) and wildlife is impressive，” says Paul.
Grace adds，“We both loved Gavin Maxwell's Ring of Bright Water and were really
passionate about otters(水獭)．It was our dream to get away from the rat race，get married and run wildlife holidays and courses on Skye.”
Five years and 29 loan applications later，they moved to Skye.They were relieved
to say goodbye to crowds and traffic and found that the island (population: about
20,000) attracts likeminded people.“A lot of musicians and craftspeople move
here，looking for peace，” says Grace.
After locals started bringing them injured animals，they built a wildlife
hospital and have since cared for 170 otters.Paul has gained a PhD in otter ecology
and they've set up the International Otter Survival Fund ()，which supports
conservation projects worldwide.
Their three kids had carefree childhoods in a tightknot community.“We could
give them lots of freedom because people watch out for each other's children here，”
Grace explains.
She continues，“We go to Inverness (a town in northern Scotland) about once
a year for a concert，but otherwise everything we want is here.You have to be mentally
and practically selfsufficient.We built a metal shed (小屋)，but that took off
in the 90 mph winds.Anything not built solidly will leave.
It's often very dark and wet from November to March，which can be quite
depressing.If there's wind and rain at the same time，no amount of waterproof
clothing will keep you dry.But we make up for it in the summer.With the long days，there's nowhere better.”
Paul concludes，“There's something so special about living here and having a
sense of belonging.”
