快乐如茶

我喜欢饮茶,喜欢茶的那份清香,飘散在生命中的每一个日子。 去年秋天,在秋天的薄雾里我和夫君乘船游览乐山下的青衣江,当我们顺道走进乐山上的一家竹林掩映的茶馆,三三两两的游客正在桌子边品茶下棋,还能闻到茅屋顶上青苔的气息。叫过两碗盖碗茶,一碟阿里山瓜子,各自躺在竹椅上养神,轻轻呼吸一口山野之气,呷一口香气悠悠的峨眉山茶,耳边是青衣江水隐隐而来的涛声,真有一种恍如隔世之感。一只鸟停歇在茶馆的石阶上鸣叫,没有人去惊动它。茶馆的门楣上是一副对联:笑口常开笑天下可笑之人,大肚能容容天下难容之事。那晚。

Consumption and species preference for house construction wood in central highlands of Ethiopia–implications for enhancing tree growing

A study was conducted in central Ethiopian highland in 2008 to investigate the consumption of house construction wood, the tree species preference for construction wood and the forthcoming conditions of this forest product and possible strategies for future availability. Twenty-four iron-roofed houses and twenty-eight thatch-roofed houses belonging to thirty-six farm households were investigated for types, volumes and sources of construction wood used. It was found that an average farmhouse with a floor space of 57 m^2 consumed about 13.7 m^3 of wood. Both floor space and wood consumptions vary with house types An average iron-roofed house with floor space of 51.9 m^2 consumed 16.8 m^3 of wood and an average thatch-roofed house with mean floor space of 28.6 m^2 consumed 3.2 m^3 of wood. Family size and floor space were the major factors influencing construction wood consumption. An average living house was composed of woods of 39.3% ,luniperus procera, 5.6% Cupressus lusitanica, 29.2% Eucalyptus globulus and 26% Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The wood volume from the first two species and half that of the third species were obtained from state forest which is currently banned from any construction wood extraction and hence there is a shortage of around 59.5% of woods. We suggest the promotion of various tree planting approaches to increase the wood supply and the use of alternative local materials like soil bricks for house construction.

情系山里娃

群山环抱,沟谷深邃,白云轻吻茅屋顶;山路陡峭,九曲八弯,上学步行6小时,这是重庆奉节县上庄乡穷得出了名的铁架梁。在吐祥中学读初二的杨勇一家就住在这里。 放暑假那天,杨勇与其他住校的同学一样肩背书包,手拿空米袋上路回家了。而今天杨勇一出校门,腿上格外有劲,他一路小跑,离家老远就喊:“妈妈,妈妈……”杨勇的妈妈听到喊声。
