In 1849, when John Muir was 11 years old, he and his family moved from Scotland to the United States. They lived in Wisconsin, and right away John fell in love with the prairies(草原), wetlands, oak forests and lakes. (1)
John worked hard on his father's farm. The hard work like ploughing fields and digging a well made him strong in both mind and body. In his free time, John caught turtles and frogs in the rivers and lakes. (2) He loved learning too, and at night he studied and read about many subjects.
(3) He built clocks and designed machines that made farming easier. He took classes at the University of Wisconsin. He travelled through Canada and then Florida, studying nature. (4) He almost lost his vision. He was afraid that he would never see again. So when his vision returned, John knew he needed to follow his dream of studying nature.

"I came to life in the cool winds and the clear waters of the mountains," he wrote. John spent the rest of his life protecting the wild places he loved so much. He was a gifted writer and wrote about the beauty of the land. In 1892, John Muir started the Sierra Club. (5)
A. But at age 29, he had a serious eye problem.
B. He hoped to live a quiet life in big modern cities.
C. He called it the "beautiful Wisconsin wilderness".
