Joe Azougar was walking his dog when a bear appeared suddenly.

   "When it came up, the first thing my dog did was1  me and attack the bear, " Azougar said from his 2 in Lady Minto Hospital.

    Then Azougar ran into his house and began to3  his neighbors, warning them what was going on."As I looked around I saw the bear pull my dog into the 4. And to my great sadness, the dog waskilled," he said.

    Then suddenly, the bear 5 and it broke through the house's back window. Azougar began throwing things at the bear and making loud noises. Then he stoodon a chair to make himself look much 6.

    "It seemed as if the bear was very 7 ,  said Azougar.“I thought my best chance was to run outside  8 someone could find me."

    Azougar began running，but the bear  9  him.

    "It had four paws on top of me," he said.“Then, it  10  my body and tried to bite my stomach. That gave me just a few 11  to turn into and protect my head."

    The bear began to pull Azougar's body. “By that time I could feel my body becoming  12," Azougar said.

    Luckily, two women, who were13 , saved him. Their car was such a（n） 14  thing in the bear's eyes, that it ran quickly into the woods.

    "I am just thankful to those two angels that saved me in time," he said.

    People, who have lived here for 20 or 30 years, said they had  15 seenanything like this," said Azougar. He is the first one, and he hopes that he will be also the last one. "Now I'm planning to move somewhere else once I come out of hospital."

    It's December 28th. New Year's Day is 1. Ma Li is in a 2 shop. She wants to buy a blouse 3 her mother. She is happy because she 4 a blue blouse. It looks pretty. She thinks it 5 her mother's trousers well, so she asks the shopkeeper what the 6 is. “198 yuan,” says the shopkeeper. Ma Li is surprised (吃惊的), “Too 7! What's it made of?” The shopkeeper tells her the blouse is made of silk. “Good things always 8 much,” he says.

  “But I have only 190 yuan. Can it be cheaper (更便宜)? I buy it for my mother. ”

  “9. 198 yuan is the last price. But I will lend you 8 yuan.”

“10? We don't know each other.”

  “Because I love my mother, too,” says the shopkeeper with a smile (微笑).

    I know a Catherine who is smart, educated and interesting. But I avoid her because she never1 complaining(抱怨)! For years, I fought against my feelings, because I really like and admire her, but I've found I just can't be her friend. Her world is 2 “buts…”. The trip would have been nice, but the drive was too long. The food was good, but the light of the restaurant was too 3. The hotel was too hot, the bed hurt her back and the room service was too slow. Her complaints were 4 changing me. Months ago, my best friend Daisy was listening to me complaining about Catherine 5 she just became really angry. “Either break up with her, or leave me alone.” She shouted at me, “I'm tired of listening to your complaining.” Her honesty surprised me, and I began to keep myself away from Catherine. Later, I did6 her.

    Now I try to remain happy and positive (积极的) about life, and find friends of the same. There's been scientific research lately. It shows that people who find7 to be thankful for their lives are actually happier, and I believe that is true. Endless complaining seems to control your life if you let it come into your brain. And too much complaining will actually make your life 8 .

    Some people take “gratitude (感激之情) walks” every day, where they9 their lives in a positive way. By developing a grateful attitude, you can be turned away from what's troubling you, and10what makes you happy. Then you will have a beautiful life.
