When Zoe talks about her dog, Hatti, a big smile always appears on her face. Zoe is thirteen and she was born 1 a terrible illness (疾病). The illness stops her from 2 like other children. In 2006, Hatti came to her.

"I wanted a 3 of my own to help not just me but all my family. So I called Dogs for the Disabled, an organization which helps the disabled by 4dogs for them. Things became different after Hatti arrived. It's very 5. It can get many things for me, so my mom doesn't need to be around me all the time. If I need my mom, it can get my mom in a 6— even in the midnight," said Zoe.

"Hatti is my best friend, and it is 7 to have it around. I think it makes me laugh every day. I used to be scared 8 I was alone, but now Hatti can always stay with me," said Zoe.

Zoe's mom Helen 9, "The longer Zoe and Hatti are together, the happier Zoe becomes. She's becoming more independent (独立的). I'm 10glad and I thank Dogs for the Disabled very much."

    One day I was watching a movie at home and tears dropped from my eyes as I saw a moving picture. My three﹣year﹣old son came to me and asked me why I was crying. I 1 silent as I couldn't explain to him it was just an emotional（情感的） thing. To my surprise, he2 my face with his little hand and said, "Dear Mom, stop crying! You see3 will be fine. You're my good girl. So just get up and let's get ready for school." On hearing him saying this to me I could not help4. It was so funny for a child to say so. Later I5 that he had repeated almost the6 thing that I told him when he was crying.

    The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to7 what his parents have been telling him for a long time. Usually parents8 with the words "Mama" "Papa" and so on. But as the child continues learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being9 we as parents always10he's still being guided by us. The only11 is that we're now doing that in a more passive （被动的）way than before. We always use words that we don't want our child to say, and when he says those words, we12where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don't realize that the child has learned the words only from13 only. Instead, we start to put the blame （ 指责） on either his friends or somebody who has talked to him when we are not present.

    So if you want your child to have perfect14, you'll have to set a good example to him. And if you can't do this, you have no right to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents' words and behavior have a great15 on their children.
