God puts dreams in our hearts. So, we must dream. We lose our ___________ and heartaches(心 痛) in dreams. Some dreams are broken ___________ some come true. Now, here’s my own dream story:

Eight years ago, my close friends, a young couple lost their baby _____________ an accident. Since ___________ had that accident, they felt empty. For a long time, they ___________ that God had given them up. They cried and kept themselves away from family and friends. They travelled far and wide, spending all their resources(资源), seeing different doctors. But_________worked.

Though I have my down moments, I am a ___________ girl. I stay active and thankful_______I know there’s a reason for every season. I truly love the world and trust God all the time. One day, I called them to say hello. The wife sounded like someone had _____________. When I asked, she said, “I am fine. Nobody died. Just tired.” It was time to share my one dream with her.

“For eight years, I always had a(n) ________________ dream. You were in it. You were always looking after a child. In the ________________, there was always a celebration happening... and you were in it, with your husband by your side.” She was silent.

God finally ________________ the dream of my heart. This winter, this man and wife are expecting their child. When I got this great news, I was not __________________.

I had been unhappy since(自从) my new neighbor moved in. Every time when I began writing, I could hear a girl singing next door. She didn’t sing well, and even out of tune(调). So it is really a noise pollution(噪音污染) for me.

One day, soon after I sat down behind the computer, I heard the girl singing again. I felt it was too noisy, so I had my husband go to next door and complained(抱怨) about the noise. Ten minutes later, my husband came back with a sad look, saying, “That girl is only 17 but she had bone(骨头) cancer. Her mother said that the more painful(痛的) it is, the louder(更大声地) her daughter sings.” I know now the singing helped reduce(减少) her pains.

I said to my husband, “Please tell her mother that the girl can sing as she likes. We don’t mind it at all.”

From that day on, I no longer thought the girl did anything wrong and even got used to her singing. I felt as if(好像) it were like the smell of sunbeams and watching the flowers and plants. The next year I left home on business. My husband phoned me that the girl died.

I returned home in late summer or early autumn. Sitting at home I couldn’t help feeling something wanting. Suddenly I understood that I could no longer hear the next-door girl sing.

Oink! The Year of the Pig is coming. How much do you know about pigs? Do you like them? Many people don't, because they believe that pigs are naturally fat, lazy and dirty. But are any of those things true?

It is true that pigs are fat. They eat a lot. But they are useful to us. We get more than just pork from pigs. We can use their skin to make shoes. We can use their hair to make brushes. Pigs also provide us with ingredients for drugs like insulin(胰岛素). Insulin can treat diabetes (糖尿病).

People sometimes say. “You are as stupid as a pig.” But pigs are not stupid. In fact pigs are one of the 10 smartest animals. They have a good memory and can tell different shapes apart. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats. In France, people teach pigs to find truffles(松露). With their good sense of smell, they can find truffles even faster than dogs.

When you see pigs, they are usually in dirty water or mud. That's because pigs have no sweat glands(汗腺). On hot days, they have to cool themselves in water or mud. This keeps insects away from them as well. Mud can also protect their skin from sunburns.

These stereotypes about pigs often make us hold a negative(负面的) view about the animal. For example, If someone eats a lot, we say that they have “pigged out”. If someone's room is very messy, we might say his or her room looks like a pigsty(猪圈).

But people in ancient China really liked pigs. People thought the pig's big head and ears were a symbol of good luck. If someone had a round and chubby(胖乎乎的) face, he or she was thought to be blessed(有福气的). People also believed the animal, stood for wealth, as humans use every part of the pig. Piggy banks are a symbol of this. Most children have a piggy bank that they can use to save money.
