My six-year-old daughter, Cindy, and I stopped at a food shop for some bread. As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.

    The boy had a strange hairstyle. His nose was pierced, and a ring ran 1 the hole. He held a skateboard under one arm and a2 under the other.

    Cindy, who was walking ahead of me, suddenly 3 when she saw the boy. I thought he had frightened my daughter. But I was 4. My daughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I came face to face with the young man. I 5 aside (到一边) and let him pass. He replied vey 6, “Thank you very much.”

    On our way to the car, I praised Cindy for holding open the door for the boy. It seemed that she was not troubled by the boy's appearance,7 I still wanted to make sure. I wanted to be ready to talk about the young man 8 was so different from others.     I prepared to tell my little daughter what 9should be like.   

    But as it turned out, the person who needed the talk was 10!

    The only thing Cindy noticed about the boy was the fact that his arms were 11. “ He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other. He would have a 12 time to open the door,” said Cindy.

    I just 13  the hairstyle, the piercing and the ring, while she saw a person carrying something under arms and heading towards a(an)14 door.

    What my daughter said 15 me that I should change my ways of judging people and learn from my daughter to be open-minded and warm-hearted.

    Prana, our beautiful dog, isn't with us anymore. She died several years ago. But while sharing our home, she brought so much joy and love into our lives that we still 1 her.

    It was an autumn day in Minnesota, US. We were 2 by a big snowfall for which no one was prepared. We have two 3 trees in our backyard. Prana loved apples. When she went outside, she'd catch an apple and sneak (偷偷地放) it into the 4 . The apples had been on the ground and were often muddy (沾满泥的). So I wasn't always 5 that Prana had brought them into the house. Every time, she would turn her head so I wouldn't see her hidden 6. It was our little game.

    One year, it snowed earlier than usual. Prana went outside. I noticed that she was madly digging holes and bringing the apples to the 7so they could be seen above the snow. She seemed busy digging up as many apples as possible during her yard time. I wondered 8 she was doing this.

    When I called her back into the house  she had her usual one apple in her mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The yard was full of birds. Prana had 9 all those apples for her bird and squirrel friends to eat. She knew that they didn't have enough food to 10 such an early winter!

    As I saw this beautiful act, tears filled my eyes. Prana taught us how to live life with love.

    Yesterday it was Mr. Zhang's mother's birthday. The couple wanted to do3 to show their love for her.

After that he began to wash them 6His wife helped to comb his mother'® hair slowly. Seeing this, the boy7his mother's example. He tried to comb his mother's hair, too. But he was not 8 enough to do that. So he brought a chair and stood on it. Everyone could feel the warmth and love in the family.
