27、乐意过我们这?种生活的。这种生活需要?一些特殊的素?质。其一是耐得住?寂寞。由于我们如此?忙碌，手头又紧，我们很少请客?。在作物生长季?节，根本就没工夫?参加社交活动?。吉米和埃米莉?虽然参加学校?的各种活动，但他俩大多数?时间也呆在家?里。13Theotherrequir?ementisenergR?-alotofit.ThewaRtomakeself-suffic?iencRworkonasmallscaleistoresist?thetempta?tiontobuRatracto?randothereRpens?ivelabors?avingdevice?s.Instea?d,Roudo
