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.

This Mother’s Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother. She passed away less than a month before Mother’s Day in the year 2000. She had been ill for almost two years, and I didn’t cry when she died, or at her funeral, but on that first Mother’s Day without her. On that day, I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever.
She still lives in family memories, in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers, in the values she had instilled(灌输) in her children, and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended.
She loved her gladioli and irises. Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper. The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted. It seemed like a lot of effort to me, but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before. She put the same hard work into caring for her family, instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play, compassion, and strong moral values so that we blossomed.
Share anecdotes about your mother’s life at your Mother’s Day party. Too often, we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away, fearful that we will unearth sad feelings. It doesn’t have to be that way. Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds(捆绑)the family together.
My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old. Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of. Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity, and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us.

This is a story  that happened 15 years ago but it has always stayed with me since then.On the way back from work every evening,more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway.He always waved at every car,he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing.Every day after work when I got there,I would quickly roll down my window and give him the coins.Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day.His answer would always be the same,“I’m blessed!”.

It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive,and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was.A single mother of four amazing kids,with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy.Needless to say that on my was home that day I was very sad and upset.I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did.I wasn’t feeling the joy as I got off the ramp where the homeless man would be.Yet there he was as alway,as l turned the ramp.He set his eyes on me,while still smiling and waving at others.

While I was waiting for the red light to turn,he strolled over to my car.He had a big smile he looked me straight in the eyes and said “today I will give you a dollar”.He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.I was blown away.I burst into tears.I wanted to jump out of my car and hug him!

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I   31   asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so   32  . He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then the young man asked me why I   33   seemed to be so cheerful.

His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about   34   you want to approach life that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”

“Let me give you an example.   35   teaching here, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day, I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I   36   the freeway and turned onto College Drive, only another quarter mile ahead to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine   37   turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”

  38   getting there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary asked me what had happened. ‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling.”

“ ‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?’ She was   39  . ‘What do you mean?’ ’’ “I live 17 miles from here.” I replied. “My car   40   have broken down   41   along the freeway. It didn’t.   42  , it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway,   43   walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.”

“The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she    44  . I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story.
