When my husband and I moved back to the United States years ago, we had been living an adventurous life on a boat overseas. We moved to Maine and fell in love with a piece of land. It came with a huge farmhouse much larger than we needed. We went rapidly from living in an extremely small space on the water with only two bags to a life on land as a family of four in a big house jammed with stuff.

How did we end up with so much stuff? We just didn't see things piling up so quickly. It's an embarrassment of riches. It's an overabundance. And it's burying us.

A couple of weeks ago, going through a pile of books I’d organized, I found my late mother's now-twenty-year-old copy of “Simplify Your Life" by Elaine St. James. I’d read it a number of times, adding my own penciled notes and folding down more pages.

Wondering if St. James wrote other books on the topic, I began an Internet search that led me deeper and deeper into simplicity, and a concept that was new to me, zero waste. I sensed that what was missing from our life, from our home, was emptiness. My house can't breathe, it's no wonder I feel like I can't either.

Now, my husband and I have undertaken an experiment that we hope will lead to a major lifestyle shift for our whole family. I first started to declutter and downsize by cleaning my kitchen. I emptied out my cupboards and drawers. I put everything needed on our dining-room table. Everything else went into a huge bin for sale. My drawers are beautiful now and I’m content to take this step.

Like any new beginning, there are hesitations. But in a few months, we will move into a new house less than half the size of the one we have. Can my two kids adjust to the idea of reducing their two separate rooms to one small shared bedroom with just a few toys? I can see I'm still thinking about what I will lose. But what I hope becomes clearer is what we will gain by letting go.

1.How did the author feel about the life back to the United States?

A.She enjoyed the new spacious house.

B.She loved the abundance of materials.

C.She complained about owning too much.

D.She desired a much richer life.

2.Why did the author mention Elaine St. James and her book?

A.To show what a great influence James had on her.

B.To advise more people to read James's book.

C.To indicate how her late mother liked reading.

D.To explain why a simple life counts to everyone.

3.What does the underlined word “declutter" mean in Para 5?

A.recover B.remove

C.prepare D.escape

4.What is the author doing according to the last paragraph?

A.Persuading her kids to live simply.

B.Reflecting her hesitations about letting go.

C.Questioning her sudden change on life.

D.Missing her life on the boat.
