My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the 21 shelter to pick out a dog to keep her 22 . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye. 23 these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very 24 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 25 Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer 26 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were 27 companions.
After her stroke, it became a real 28 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because 29 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was   30 from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was   31 Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us 32 Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   33 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.
As the years passed, it was not 34 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she 35 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   36 on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   37 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   38 to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   39 companion by her side.

I was feeling a little blue because my mother had been laid off from her job and she had lots of bills to pay. It left me wondering what was going to happen to us now.
I got off the college shuttle bus and started walking. That’s 36 I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people and the traffic. I walked a little slower so that I could 37   where it was coming from. 38   the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a carriage next to her. She was singing songs about love, keeping on trying, and not underestimating (低估) the power within yourself. The way she was singing    39   me a bit. I stood there watching her play for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must      40   to perform alone in the middle of a crowded place.
She must have felt my 41   because she would 42 look in my direction. Then I walked over and put some 43     in her carriage and she said, “Thank you”. Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been 44     a rough time lately, but you’ve made me 45 again.”
“I’m happy that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
“Well, my mum told me she had got    46   from her job, and that made me sad. I’m not so sure what to do …”
“You see, here’s the problem,” she explained. “While you were        47   , your head was down. Don’t look 48 , because 49   comes in different ways and if your head were down, you might lose it.”
She also explained to me that she saw a lot of 50 people in the world and she tried to bring more 51 by sharing motivational (鼓舞人心的) music. She told me that when she wasn’t making music she studied 52  . So, that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.
I 53     a little wider because I knew that she was doing a good thing. So, after we 54, my heart was 55      and lightened by a musical soul!

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤)　us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.
The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)　the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.
