It is really sad news for Guinness World Records. Tiffany Two, the holder of the  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(old) cat record, has passed away in hersleep at{#blank#}2{#/blank#} age of 27 years, 2months and 20 days.

        Born on March 13, 1988 in San Diego, California,Tiffany Two {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(buy) by herowner, Sharon Voorhees, from a local pet shop. At that time, the cat was onlysix  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(week) old. Sharon named her TiffanyTwo in memory of the cat she once{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(own) In the 1970s.

        In fact,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} Tiffany Two celebrated her 27^thbirthday back in March, she had lived the equivalent (等量) of 125 human years.

        Despite {#blank#}7{#/blank#} unbelievable age, Tiffany Two was reported tohave good sight and hearing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (recent). Tiffany Two only had minor{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ill) such as high blood pressure, and Sharondescribed her as “strong and still able to go up and down stairs”.

        “She's not afraid  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (play) with anyone or any animal.She walks right past the dogs. She's very active!” Sharon explained.

    Once there was a cowboy, Niulang,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law. But she disliked and abused him, and the boy was forced {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave) home with only an old cow for company.

    The cow, however, was a former god who had broken royal rules and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (send) to earth in bovine（牛的）form.

    One day the cow led Niulang{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a lake where fairies took a bath on earth. Among them was Zhinu{#blank#}5{#/blank#}most beautiful fairy and a skilled woman tailor.

    The two fell in love at first sight and were soon married. They had a son and a daughter and their happy life was held up as an example for hundreds of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (year) in China. Yet in the eyes of the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Deity in Taoism, marriage between a mortal and fairy was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(strict) forbidden. He ordered the heaven troop to catch Zhinu back.

    Niulang grew desperate when he discovered Zhinu had been taken back to heaven{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (drive) by Niulang's misery, the cow told him to turn its hide into a pair of shoes after it died. The magic shoes whisked（匆匆带走）Niulang,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (carry) his two children in baskets strung from a shoulder pole, off on a chase after the empress. Even the Jade Emperor was touched, and allowed Niulang and Zhinu to meet once a year on the{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (seven) night of the seventh month.

    It is a great{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(true) that life is difficult. Once we really understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, most of us do not fully see it. They just complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a really painful one. Problems, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(base) on their nature, cause sadness or regret or anger or fear. These are {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(comfort) feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. It is in the whole process of solving problems {#blank#}6{#/blank#} life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to strengthen the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(solve) problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to deal with. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(learn) from the pain of meeting and working out problems is{#blank#}9{#/blank#}great benefit. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” For this reason, wise people learn not to fear but to welcome{#blank#}10{#/blank#} pain of problems.
