       I raised the garage door wider to help the moth to escape from the garage.  However, it tried to fly
higher and farther from the door and got trapped（困）in a spider's web. Worrying that the beautiful
moth would become a spider's dinner,  I picked up a broom to help it fight against the spider's web.

his wings hard and ran into the glass.  But no matter how hard “tried”, the moth remained in the cage
of the garage.

　　Every child has a dream of what they want to be, right? When Rence Butts
was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father
was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her father died and she was never able to
volunteer with him. Rence's story doesn't end there, however, which is why I
think of her as a true heroine. She was strong-minded and never gave up, which
makes her a good firefighter.
　　Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a
fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who's sick. Other days she
is in the driver's seat. Sometimes Rence works nine to eleven days a month on
24-hour shifts. She also has a family to take care of. Her husband is a firefighter,
too.
Rence remembers the first time she fought a fire. She was awoken early in the
morning by the alarm. She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do.
When I asked Rence what the best part of her job is, she replied. "Helping
people and saving their lives." I think that shows signs of being a true heroine.
She's always glad to do anything for anyone in need. With 140 people in her
station, Rence is one of the only three women.
　　I think she's great. We could never live without people like her who is glad
to help others. Rence's deed helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope
someday to be just like her: to wake up and help people every day.

     Once upon a time, there were two thieves who wanted to steal some sheep .which were fed by a
farmer.  They had watched the sheep for a long time.  And they knew that there were twenty-eight sheep
in the farmer's yard.
     In a deep night, they came to the outside of the farmer's yard and got ready to steal all the sheep.  But
they found that the gate was locked inside,  and they couldn't open it. Finally, they came up with a good
idea.  They dug a big hole in the wall so that one of the thieves was able to go into the yard and pass the
sheep out one by one to the other.  In order to stop the sheep from running away,  the thief outside must
cut off its head quickly with a sharp knife while the thief inside was passing a sheep out of the hole.
     They started to work like that and the work was going well.  "One, two, three...,"they both counted
the numbers silently, "...twenty-six, twenty-seven..." However, the thief inside stopped counting.  "Where
is the twenty-eighth sheep?" he thought.  "Did I make a mistake?" So he stretched （伸) his head out of
the hole to ask the other thief. However,  the thief outside thought it must be the twenty-eighth sheep's
head.  He didn't think about anything and cut off the head at once.
      The two thieves never knew that one of the sheep would have a baby sheep and it had bean sent to
the vet by the owner before they came that night.
