“Well, we’re in our new house. Let’s get a new pet to go along with it, ”Mrs Brown said to her husband.

“That sounds like a very good idea, ”he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?”

“Let’s go to the animals shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can go together, ”she said.

The next morning the Browns met Mr. Snow at the animals shelter. “We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes, ”Mr. Snow said, “So I need to ask you some questions. ”

After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn’t need a big house or big yard. A small dog would bark (吠) and warn (警告) them if someone tried to break into their house. After Mr. Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care, they chose one and wanted to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hadn’t examined her yet. So Mr. Snow told them to return on Sunday.

On Sunday afternoon the Browns went to the animals shelter. The animal doctor said, “Shadow has had all of her shots (预防针). She will be healthy. ” The Browns thanked the doctor and took Shadow home. Shadow began her new happy life with the Browns.

You Are Going Places
I work at a local restaurant in town as cashier, seater and waiter.
I went to work feeling     【小题1】     . And to make things worse, I was busy that evening.
It’s the same thing over and over again.     【小题2】     with customers who complain about their
food and where they are    【小题3】   is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to  【小题4】    
a lot of us     【小题5】     but we manage to deal with it.
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very   【小题6】    
near where I keep the dirty      【小题7】    in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables,
customers leaving and coming in and    【小题8】   running all over the house, it was crazy.  【小题9】   
these elderly women were watching   【小题10】    I was working to make sure every table was clean
and ready for the next customers.
When they    【小题11】    their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me
for a while about school, how I was doing, what  【小题12】     I was in and what I planned to do in
the future.
    【小题13】    they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a    【小题14】   
and gentle voice, “You are going places. And that was it.” They left the    【小题15】    and I had tears
in my eyes, because they gave me    【小题16】    to believe in myself. They    【小题17】    my spirit from
being down and gave me a    【小题18】    to keep on working hard.
People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in   【小题19】   until I had a degree. I’m now
a co-anchor(联合支持人)of a student-produced television     【小题20】     . And the best thing is:
I’m only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.
