4.Raised in a fatherless home,my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children.His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus whenever I came home.Though the bus stopped about two miles from home,Dad never met me,even in sever weather.If I grumbled, he'd say in his loudest father-voice,"That's what your legs are for!"
The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.When the bus reached the stop,I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge(树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey,I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening,the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge,moving toward the house.Upon closer observation,I realized it was the top of my father's head.Then I knew,each time I'd come home,he had stood behind the hedge,watching,until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears.He did care,after all.
On later visits,that spot of gray became my watchtower.I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home,I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair."So!My son,it's you!"he'd say,his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied,"Yes,Dad,it's me.I'm home."

13.A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.
One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child.The fire spread quickly,and the situation was terrible.
Neighbors called the fire department,then stood helplessly by,unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances.The little girl appeared at an upstairs window,crying for help,just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.
Suddenly,a man appeared with a ladder,put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside.When he reappeared,he had the little girl in his arms.He delivered the child to the waiting arms below,then disappeared into the night.
An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives,and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.
A teacher said she would like to raise the child.She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education.A farmer offered her an upbringing(教养) on his farm.He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying.Others spoke,giving their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them.
Finally,the town's richest resident rose and said,"I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here,plus money and everything that money can buy."
Throughout all this,the child remained silent,her eyes on the floor.
"Does anyone else want to speak?"asked the meeting chairman.A man came forward from the back of the hall.He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.

Paragraph 1:
When he got to the front of the room,he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms.His hands and arms were terribly scarred.The little girl cried out,"This is the man who rescued me!"With a leap,she threw her arms around the man's neck.She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments.Then she looked up and smiled,stating happily she would live with him.
Paragraph 2:
When asked about her choice,the girl gave people the reasons firmly.She said in a low but determined voice,"I really desire to get a good education that will give me chances to live my dreams.Besides,I know that money means a lot to me since I have no relatives to rely on.But it's the man who saved my life when I was desperately facing a fire like that.Without him,I wouldn't be here,waiting for a new choice.I hope that I can do whatever I can to pay back his kindness.
11.My wife and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year.Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month.We were busy through those hot summer months,driving between visits.Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home.It was almost too busy for the two of us,but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.
One day,we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave.We met the family,filled in a form,and spent some time with their dog,Hercules.He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue.The family laughed as he did this,showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house,alone.I came up to Hercules and said hello happily.I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made.Meanwhile,he was so lovely sitting beside.I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners,a usual service.After the light and"click"sound went off,Hercules rushed at me.I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood.I ran out and did the only thing-calling my wife.
Then I went to neighbors for help.My wife arrived after ten minutes.The helpful neighbor and my wife led Hercules back into his pen (圈).Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital.The nurses quickly moved me to a room.I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner,"Am I going to die?"He replied,"Finally."
