Irene sat quietly by the window and sighed, "Where are you, Fluffy? Please 1 soon."

    Her mother came in, sat beside her and stroked (轻抚) her head, "Don't worry, Irene, we'll find her." Irene hugged her mother and cried.

    Fluffy was Irene's pet dog. When she came home from school, Fluffy would be the first one to 2 her. After finishing all that needed to be done, Irene and Fluffy would play a 3 of catch. Fluffy knew when Irene was too 4 to play, and she would sit 5 on her knees and let Irene stroke her. Irene felt that Fluffy was the only one who 6 her. So Irene loved her with all her heart.

    Then one day, 7 terrible happened. Irene came home and found Fluffy was gone. Her mother had no 8 where Fluffy was. Irene searched and called but Fluffy was still not around. Her father went out and looked for Fluffy. However, he came home empty-handed. That night, Irene 9 sleep at all. She thought she would 10 see Fluffy.

    The next morning, as soon as she walked into the living room, she saw Fluffy sitting on the sofa. What a surprise! Irene ran forward and hugged her.

    When I was ten, my mother worked all day, so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time, my little brother was about four years old and he 1 his mum all the time.

    One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, and then put on his 2, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he lost a shoe while he was 3. I took him off my 4and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. I had to 5 to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just6 I walked off. He asked me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe？What will you do if he is not here when you return？"I didn't know 7 to answer that question. He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your 8."Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi.

    During my whole life I have received the 9 from many strangers. I feel sorry that I can't find them and say "10" I do not even remember what their faces looked like, but they taught me a lesson﹣people are more important than things.

 One day, two fishermen fished in a pond (池塘). Both of them were looking forward to getting a big catch. 

 The first fisherman caught a big and beautiful fish within a few minutes. He was very happy. 

He put the fish in his icebox. He would cook it in the afternoon. 

 Soon, the second fisherman also caught a large fish. Surprisingly, he threw it back into the pond. Later, he caught many more big fish, only to throw them back into the water again. 

 The first fisherman was surprised. "Why are you throwing the fish back into the water? They were beautiful and big!"

 The second fisherman answered, "I know they were big, but I don't have a big enough pan(平底锅) to cook big fish! So I'm looking for a smaller fish that fits my cooking pan. "

 The first fisherman was surprised by the answer. He told the second fisherman that he could just cut the big fish into smaller pieces to fit them into the small pan. 

 Many of us are just like the second fisherman. We don't think carefully and this sometimes causes us to lose opportunities (机会). 

 This morning was not going well. Aftertwo hours' hard work, I was already falling behind. Sitting on the examination table was my next 1 , a girl of five-year-old in a pretty pink dress. Her right hand was in a bowl of cleansing water with medicine,2 her large brown eyes had tears in them.

 Standing beside her was a tall man. He turned to his daughter andbegan moving 3 hands, seeming to communicate the words that he was whispering(低语) softly. "It' s all right. The doctor is here." I realised that he was communicating through4 .

"My daughter Sara is deaf," the father told me. The child had lost her hearing when she was six months old. I felt sadness. On the outside, Sara5 any other little girl. Yet, her world was now 6 .

"We were on the way to Sara' s dance class when she fell."

"Dance class?" I asked,7 .

"Oh, yes!" the father laughed. "Sara dances to the music. She can8 the music because music has vibrations(振动). You can feel them 9 you sit on a wooden floor listening to loud music."

I pointed to Sara' s hand. She held out her injured hand for me. There were some cuts, but10 serious.

"It's okay," I said. I told her carefully and slowly that I would clean and cover the cuts. Sara11 her head. She understood.

 As I gently cleaned her hand, I listened to the sounds 12 me. These were sounds that I had heard a thousand times but had 13 taken for granted(认为理所当然的). A door suddenly closed with a loud noise in the next room. It gave me a fright, but Sara continued to look 14 at her hand and at me.

 By the time I had cleaned and covered her hands, Sara' s eyes were no longer teary but seemed to shine. Then she placed the tips of her right fingers against her mouth and flicked them forward." That means15 ," Sara's father said.

"You' re welcome!" I replied. Thank you, Sara. I thought as I watched her leave. It was going to be a good day after all.
