“No
air
conditioning(空调)?
How
will
you
sleep?”
my
friend
asked.
I
just
told
her
that
my
family
had
decided
to
turn
the
air
conditioner
off
to
1
money.
It
was
only
29℃
on
the
first
night
of
our
cost-cutting
plan,
but
our
three
kids
were
restless
and
2 .
“Its
too
hot
to
sleep,”
my
13-year-old
daughter
said.
“Im
about
to
3
from
this
high
tempera-
ture!”
her
brother
shouted
from
down
the
hall.
“Just
deal
with
it
for
tonight,”
I
told
them.
I
was
too
tired
to
4
for
long.
I
laid
in
bed
quietly,
listening
to
the
cricket
choir(蟋蟀的鸣叫)
outside.
The
sound
made
me
think
about
my
5 .
I
thought
about
my
grandma,
who
lived
until
she
was
92. She
took
care
of
my
moms
garden
6
just
a
few
weeks
before
she
died.
My
thoughts
went
back
to
her
house,
in
the
summer
heat
of
my
childhood.
“ If
you
watch
for
the
wind,”
Grandma
said,
“ youll
7
and
fall
asleep. ”
I
stared
at
the
thin
white
curtain(窗帘),
hoping
it
would
flutter(飘动) .
Lying
still
and
waiting,
I
suddenly
noticed
the
life
outside
my
window
—
the
cricket
choir.
The
sound
comforted
me.
“Mom,
did
you
8
that?”
my
7-year-old
son
asked.
“ I
think
it
was
an
owl(猫头鹰) . ”
“ 9 ,”
I
told
him.
“Just
keep
listening. ”
Without
the
noise
of
the
air
conditioner,
the
house
became
10
and
the
night
seemed
close
e-
nough
to
touch.
