unit 1 Mr。

Doherty Builds His Dream LifeIn America many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside。

Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land。

Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well, as the life of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered when he set out to combine being a writer with running a farm。

Nevertheless，as he explains，he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life。

在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。

许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。

很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。

或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。

但他写道,自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。
