Jenny is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old girl from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles, US, is taking care of three green abalones(鲍鱼) at school.

The students of Violeta Llamas' science class, including Jenny, have cared for the sea animals since January. The science class has eight teams. Each team takes turns to care for the abalones. Team Five—Jenny, Alexis, Jennifer and Ricardo—have now got their turn.

The abalones are kept in a box of seawater. Every day, Alexis checks if the water has too much salt. Too much salt is bad for the health of the abalones. Jenny makes fresh seawater. Then the four students work together to clean up the waste in the box and give some food to the abalones.

    "Sea life is like a baby. You have to clean them and care for them. " Jennifer said.

Nancy Cruso, a scientist, leads the project. She said the number of green abalones is going down because people have caught too many of them. She said protecting the sea lives now depends on the young students.

"The students love taking care of the abalones. " said Llamas.

"Taking care of the abalones could open the door for those who want to be a sea life scientist or an environment protector," she said.

The students' time with the abalones will end this school year. Cruso and a team of volunteers will record the abalones and then let them return to the sea.

My husband, Tyler, and I decided to raise a guide dog puppy (幼犬). After attending several meetings with Anina Green, the guide dog club leader, I eagerly signed up to become a raiser and patiently waited for the arrival of my puppy. Then, one day, Anina informed me that I would get my puppy on April 27.

That day, Tyler and I went to Anina's house. In the kitchen, we saw the puppy. Escort, sleeping on the floor. Holding him for the first time was magical. He was so soft and sleepy—and huge! Escort was larger than a lot of full-grown dogs.

We attended a weekly puppy kindergarten to learn how to train Escort. From the time we got the puppy until he was about 6 months old, he was on a leash (牵引绳). When we were watching TV on the sofa or brushing teeth, the leash was always in our hands. During the first eight weeks. Tyler and I mostly stayed at home, taught Escort orders, and held his leash.

The guide dog club is really like a family—a family with a lot of wonderful, well-behaved dogs. We traveled to various places together with these dogs. Escort's first group outing was a trip to tour the city museum. We also went to a shopping mall, a baseball game. a fire station, and the airport to practice going through security. With all the help from our club, Escort went from a sleepy little puppy to a dependable companion (伙伴) when he was 8 months old.

When Escort was one year old, he could walk with a perfect loose (松的) leash, follow our orders and always make the right choices. It was time for us to drop him off at the Guide Dogs for the Blind campus to go through more formal (正式的) guide training and get matched with someone who needed him. We had fallen in love with the puppy and couldn't bear giving him away. but we had to say goodbye to him.

When I see pictures of Escort with the woman he has been placed with. I feel very happy. It doesn't hurt that he's not with me—seeing him going on adventures with his new owner every day makes it all worth it. The thought that he will improve her life makes me very proud.

When the bell rang and the exam ended, I went out of the classroom, feeling down and disappointed. After all, it was my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (three) time to fail the exam. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was blowing hard, which made me even {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (sad).

On the way home, I{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (keep) my eyes on the ground. As soon as I entered my home, my mom came to ask me about the exam with great expectation. However, I just walked toward my bedroom {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a word. Lying in bed, I couldn't stop thinking that I would {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (punish) by Mom and began to cry.

Mom must have known what happened to me, as she gently opened the door and asked me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) to the park. She pointed to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} flower, which was suffering(遭受) from a large storm.

Its {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (leaf) and petals(花瓣) were shaking hard as if it would be broken in-to pieces. But to my surprise, the small flower was still standing strong, smiling against the wind and rain.

I finally understood. Although there were many failures and difficulties, we always have to go on and fight {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (brave). After the storm, we'll see the brightest rainbow. That flower, which blooms(盛放) in my heart. is the most beautiful one {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I've ever seen.
