DEAR AMY: We recently had to put our cat down. It came out of the blue. We had no idea that he had health problems, and we woke up early one morning to the cat crying out painfully. We immediately rushed him to the vet’s where the vet said that at best treatment might lengthen his life by two to three months. We did not want to see him suffer, so we chose to kill the cat in a painless way.

I am having a rough time! I cry when I am alone. I cry when I see pet commercials on television. I put away everything that reminds me of the cat. But the last sight of seeing the cat in pain plays over and over in my head. My kids seem alright with what has happened, but why am I struggling?

It has only been one week since his passing, so I hope things will get better. Do you have any suggestions?

Yours,

Sad

DEAR SAD: There is no loss quite like the loss of a pet; these animals keep us company through important life passages and are beloved witnesses to our human lives.

I understand your instinct to put away all of your cat’s things, but it may help you now to memorialize your pet by using these things. Each family member can write down favorite things about him or memories of him; read their memories aloud and put the papers inside his bowl. The idea is to replace those painful last memories with much more lively memories taking place over the most of the animal’s life.

Time will then do its job, which is to affect your feelings. And then, when you’re ready, I hope you will adopt another animal and give it the opportunity to share your life.

Yours,

Amy

Florida is celebrating a big anniversary this year. Five hundred years ago, on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce arrived on the east coast of what is now Florida. Native Americans had been living there for centuries, but Ponce was the first European to set foot in what would become the United States.

According to legend, Ponce may have landed in Florida by mistake. He is said to have been looking for an island called Bimini and its Fountain(喷泉) of Youth. The magical fountain could supposedly make old people young again. Instead, Ponce landed on Florida and claimed it for Spain. He named it La Florida, or “flowery place”.

Ponce explored more of Florida’s coasts over the next few months. He later returned to Spain but went back to Florida in 1521 to attempt to set up a colony. However, native Americans attacked him and his friends, and Ponce was killed. It wasn’t until 1565 that Spain set up a successful colony at St. Augustine on Florida’s east coast. It is the oldest European settlement in the U.S.

Florida didn’t belong to the U.S. until Spain lost control. It was admitted to the U.S. as the 27th state in 1845.

Today, Florida has one of the fastest-growing populations of any state. More than 19 million people call it home.

It’s also popular with tourists. Last year, 89 million people visited the Sunshine State. These days, most visitors come in search of fun in the sun on its sandy beaches and its theme parks, such as Disney World and Sea World.

Parents have started to notice many benefits associated with online math and reading tutoring services. Both conventional and online tutoring offers children academic help. 1. . Here's why.

Online tutoring, much like conventional tutoring, helps a student complete difficult assignments, and is geared toward(使适合) improving grades. This method, however, allows your children to master their studies from the convenience of home, making it more convenient for both children and parents who have a busy schedule. Since the Internet is probably already one of your children's favorite activities, working education programs into their online time is easier than convincing them to apply traditional face to face methods. 2. .These abilities are essential in today's world.

Online tutoring also enables very individualized programs and plans. Often, people believe online tutoring is designed for the masses. 3. . Beyond that, they often accommodate your children's learning speed. Not all children learn at the same rate, and feeling rushed means that important lessons are not mastered. Online tutoring eliminates that worry because children advance when they're ready, not when a tutor suggests its time.

4. . Students who are not self-motivated may use study time for surfing the Internet. Others need the more hands-on learning approach offered by one-on-one sessions.

So, how do you truly identify whether online tutoring is right for you and your child? 5. . If this method is not effective, contact a local tutor or tutoring center.

A. The online method is increasing in popularity, however.

B. The only way is to give it a try.

C. Online tutoring may not be for everyone, however.

D. Learning these requirements early will help to ensure future success.

E. However, most online tutoring programs are personally designed to match each child.

F. The conveniences of a home-based program are more important than your child's education.

G. Participating in online programs also enhances students' online research techniques and typing skills.
