Taking your pet for a walk should be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}enjoyable experience, not one which leaves your arms {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pain) after your dog running too far away, reaching the end of the dog leash (狗绳). Some dogs{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (simple) will keep trying to pull {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (them) away from the leash, and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (depend) on the size of the dog, this can cause much pain to your arms.

    Now there is a tool{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (call) the Dog Trainer which will probably solve these dog walking issues. For $39.95, the special invention is designed to help train your dog {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you go out for walks. The tool is fixed with the leash, and whenever it senses a struggle, it will send a noise which only your dog will be able to hear, thus forcing it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (realize) that struggling is not worth it!

    The noise becomes{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(loud), based on the force of the struggle, and it has four sound levels. The Dog Trainer is powered by two AAA batteries (电池) and we believe if you have a large dog{#blank#}10{#/blank#}likes to try and escape all the time, then this handy little invention is surely worth the small payment.

    Good morning, boys and girls. I'm here today to share a good story with you. It is a true story about a poor boy, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(name) William Smith, had only one dollar left. He was so hungry {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. A lovely young woman opened the door. She thought he looked hungry and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (bring) him a large glass of milk. He drank it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (slow), and then asked, "How much do I owe you?" "You don't owe me anything." She replied. "Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (kind)." As William Smith left that house, he felt much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (strong) physically and mentally.

    Years later, the young woman became seriously ill and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (send) to a big hospital. Dr. William Smith, now famous, was called in for the consultation (咨询). He recognized her at once and was determined to try his best {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (save) her life.

    After a long struggle, the battle was won. But the woman had to pay a lot of money {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the treatment. Dr. Smith, then requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on it. The bill was sent to her room. She opened it, and found a note on the side of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} bill in surprise, which read: "Paid in full with a glass of milk, (signed) Dr. William Smith."

    As is known to all, art {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (influence) by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times.

    In the 5th century, the art of the Middle Ages came into being and the main aim of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (paint) was to represent religious themes. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a result, some pictures at this time were full of religious symbols, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (create) a feeling of respect and love for God. During the Renaissance, people began to concentrate {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (little) on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude {#blank#}6{#/blank#} life. In the late 19th century, some painters became the Impressionists. And they were the first painters {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (paint) outdoors. Paintings can reflect the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (develop) of civilization, and it is interesting to predict {#blank#}9{#/blank#} styles of paintings there will be in the future. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} not try to visit some art galleries to appreciate different styles of paintings?

    When you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hurt) deeply by someone, you may feel it very difficult {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(remove)your anger. But forgiving is possible and it can be {#blank#}3{#/blank#}great benefit to your health. Up to now, a research {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (show) that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. "People who forgive show {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (little) anger and more hopefulness," says Dr. Frederic Luskin, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} wrote the book Forgive for Good. "So it can help reduce the tiredness and allow people to feel more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (energy)."

    So when someone hurts you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure. Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you may escape {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (apologize)," says Dr. Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things in same way."

    Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the person has done to you. Finally, try to see things from that person's opinions. To achieve it, just put {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (you) in that person's place.

Dear Aunt Mei,

    How time flies! It is six months since I came to London. I must {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (apology) to you for not writing more {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (regular). I'm glad you'll come to London and I refuse to let you pay for anything while you're here!

    Considering you are curious and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (familiar) with London, I'll give you a brief introduction and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (describe) of it and your visit plan.

    London is an international city with people from all over the world living here and as {#blank#}5{#/blank#} result, there are many international restaurants, including many Chinese restaurants. Since you can easily get traveler's cheques {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (exchange) at banks or hotels, I advise you to get some of those before you come.

    We should consider {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stay) in the English countryside for a few nights as I know you enjoy hiking. And don't forget a warm coat! It can get pretty cold and foggy in this country.

    English humor is a bit difficult {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (understand). Don't be surprised if you hear laughter when you don't think anything is funny. The majority of the British are friendly and I have made some good friends {#blank#}9{#/blank#} share my interests so far.

    Looking forward {#blank#}10{#/blank#} your visit, Aunt Mei!

Love,

XiaoJin
