"Let’s have an imu!" exclaims one of the Scouts. That settles it, for everyone considers an imu one of the tastiest meals at camp. This is the way it is prepared.
A hole eighteen inches deep and eighteen inches square is dug and lined with rocks. A pile of crisscross(十字形) firewood is built up on a platform of split wood. On the third layer of wood is placed a layer of flat stones. The fire is kept burning until the stones are almost white hot. Stones and coals are then leveled off in the bottom of the hole.
Vegetable tops or sweet leaves — wild grape, sweet gum, sycamore (梧桐) — are moistened and thrown in. On top of the leaves is placed a two-and-one-half-pound chicken or game bird for every three Scouts. Also for each Scout there is one white potato, one sweet potato, one carrot, two ears of corn, and, for dessert, one apple. All this is covered with more leaves, then with a piece of dampened heavy cloth, and all is buried bene

Britain’s gardeners have revealed one of their greatest pet hates -- other people’s cats. Okay, they’re sadistic murderers -- but is it fair that cats have been rated as being as detestable as rats in a poll of British gardeners
A new survey in the UK indicates that cats come second only to rats as the least favou77rite mammal to visit our gardens. (46) The UK’s 10 million cats have had its rough of late, drawing harsh criticism because of their bloodlust and habit of viewing the nation’s gardens as their own personal toilets.
(47) Though the animals are the UK’s favorite pets, British gardeners have struck back by crowning the cat as one of the most unwelcome visitors -- voting them only slightly more popular than rats in the new poll.
