Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter.

As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Many forests are badly 36 by fire each year. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. We were in a heatwave which had been  37  for three days.

Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible 38 . I no longer had any   hope that Lulu would come  39  to the shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his 40  in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my shelter and   41 me that my dog Lulu had  42  to save four kittens who were trapped by the flames. According to the fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a  43  place. I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to  44  the rescued kittens. When we arrived at the  45  of the incident, we found Lulu was not  46  . Then we heard the  47  of a dog came from the forest barking furiously. I  48  it was my dog Lulu. The fireman followed the tracks of the dog until we found him barking  49  by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately   50  rescue. Thanks to Lulu, four kittens and a fireman were saved.

That day, I was very 51 of Lulu for his two heroic  52  toward the kittens and the fireman. Lulu showed much compassion(同情)for both animals  53  him and for a human being who was trying to  54  the fire with his colleagues.

This true story of genuine love and compassion shows us that pets are loving,  55  and compassionate. We should love and protect them. One day they could do us a good turn.

A boy who was nervous on his first day of school climbed onto a third-floor balcony (阳台) and put legs over the side. His mother and teachers tried their best to bring him down, but failed. However, a firefighter who dressed as "Spiderman" succeeded in saving him.
Firefighter David Smith was called in after the 6-year-old’s teachers and mother had failed to get him down from the balcony. "He was asking for his mother, "Smith said. "He was crying, and wouldn’t let any of us get near him." After hearing a conversation between the boy’s mother and his teachers about his love of superheroes , Smith hurried home to get his Spiderman clothes.
"I told him 'Spiderman is here to save you. No one will hurt you now,’" Smith said. "Then I told him to walk slowly toward me. I was really nervous that he might fall if he got too excited and started running." Then the crying boy broke into a smile and walked into the fireman’s arms.
The fictional (虚构的) superhero was created by writer Stan Lee in the early 1960s. It has recently become popular again through a series of movies made about him. In them he is acted by superstar Tobey Maguire, who acted with Kirsten Dunst and James Franco.
