Steve Sparks was a young successful lawyer when a bruise （挫伤） on one of the legs of his 3-year-old daughter changed his life. The bruise led to a doctor’s visit. The doctor said his daughter was suffering from leukemia (白血病).

Steve said that in a moment his life changed from what restaurant he was going to take his clients (客户) to lunch to whether his daughter Katie was ever going to see her fourth birthday.

For three years Katie received a lot of treatment at the Nemours Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware and with the help of wonderful doctors, kind nurses, whom Steve and his wife Michelle called heroes, Katie’s leukemia was cured (治愈).

Forever changed by the experience and encouraged by the heroes at Nemours who saved his daughter’s life, Steve felt he couldn’t go back to business as usual. He felt there was something else he was meant to do and that something else led him to join the Nemours Foundation（基金会）at the age of 28. The job change came with a 65% pay cut from what he was making as a lawyer, but Steve thought he was right and it was more important to help those who need help. Steve is glad to have made such a choice.

Katie is now a healthy 20-year-old college student and Steve is one of the leaders of the Nemours Foundation. In three weeks Steve will have a party for Katie’s 21st birthday, and give big thanks to the Nemours by riding his bicycle from Nemours in Jack-sonville, Florida to Wilmington, Delaware. He’ll ride 900 miles in 9 days and raise $100,000 for the Nemours Foundation with the hope of saving more children’s lives.

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Amy. I am 17 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day when no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.

At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Content. When Amy’s letter arrived at the radio station, Manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it wound be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special girl and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper.

The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the “News Sentinel”. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable Christmas gift—just one day without teasing.

Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation. They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement. Some of the writers had disabilities; some had been teased as children. Each writer had a special message for Amy. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy saw a world full of people who truly cared about each other.

Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to hold her head high.

Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne High School. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.

That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially declared December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. “Everyone,” he said, “wants to and should be treated with respect, dignity and warmth.”

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to an outlet that is acceptable in the domestic (驯养的) setting.

One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train its obedience. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.

Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack (群) by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.

Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

1.Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _________.

A. occur when they go wild

2.The key to solving dogs’ behavior problems is to _________.

A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks

B. make the dog aware of its owner’s authority

C. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior

D. provide the dog with a pattern accepted by its owner

3.Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?

A. To avoid being punished.

B. To show their affection for their masters.

C. To win leadership of the dog pack.

D. To show their willingness to obey.

4.When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _________.

A. can give the dog more freedom

Dear Seth,

You‘re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can‘t read, much less understand what I‘m going to try to tell you in this letter． But I‘ve been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I‘ve learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years． As with my advice, take it with a grain of salt． What works for me might not work for you． But someday when you‘re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you．

1._____________________________

You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path． You have not been worn down yet by longs hours of thankless work, by the slings and arrows of everyday life． For this, be thankful． You are at a wonderful stage of life． You have many wonderful stages of life still to come even if they are not without their costs and great dangers．

2.____________________________

There will be people in your life who won‘t be very nice because you‘re different, or for no good reason． There‘s not much you can do except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, actually care about you, and make you feel good about yourself． There will be times when you are met with disappointment rather than success． Life won‘t always turn out the way you want． But instead of letting these things get you down, push on． Learn to turn negatives into positives． You‘ll also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love． I hope you don‘t have to face this too much, but it happens． Let these pains become stepping stones to better things in life and learn to use them to make you stronger．

3. _____________________________

Yes, you‘ll find suffering in your journey through life, but don‘t let that close you to new things or wall yourself off． Be open to new things, experiences and people． You might get your heart broken ten times but find the most wonderful woman the 11th time． You might get teased and hurt by people you meet． If you close yourself off to new people, who will be there during the toughest times of your life and create some of the best times of your life． You will fail many times but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss out on the amazing feeling of success once you reach new heights with your accomplishments．

4. _____________________________

You will meet many people who will try to outdo you in school, in college, at work． They‘ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets． To them, life is a competition — they have to do better than their peers to be happy． Here‘s a secret: Life isn‘t a competition． It‘s a journey． If you spend that journey always trying to impress other, to outdo others, you‘re wasting it． Instead, learn to enjoy the journey． Make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love． Find your passion, and pursue it doggedly． Life is too short to settle for a job that pays the bills．

5._____________________________

If there‘s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: Love． It, I know, might sound corny, but trust me, there‘s no better rule in life． Some would live by the rule of success． Their lives will be stressful, unhappy and shallow． Others would live by the rule of selfishness． They will live lonely and unhappy lives． Live your life by the rule of love． Love your spouse, children, parents, friends, with all of your heart． Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbours, coworkers, strangers, even your enemy． And most of all, love yourself． While others criticize you, learn not to be so hard on yourself, to think that you‘re ugly or dumb or unworthy of love． Instead, learn to love yourself for who you are．

Finally, know that I love you and always will． You are starting out on a weird, scary, daunting, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey． And I will be there for you when I can．

Love, Your Dad
