Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson that little things still mean a lot. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I started my car and I  1 down at the roadside, a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and  2 it carefully.
The form turned out to be a  3 from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’  4 of their vehicle’s registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their  5 and figured:no one would throw this out,  6 if it was current.
Although the form had been blown here,  where in the busy,parking lot would I find the owner? So I checked the date and noted the name of the  8 , who must be in our town. I thought that the best and easiest step to  9 was to put the form in an envelope addressed to the couple and  10 it by post. So I did it.
On the weekend, a  11 couple called at my house and brought me a big  12 . They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt(收据)   13 everywhere before giving up. Without it they would 14 $8, 000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone  15 a major trouble by doing something which at first glance seemed minor.

But the boy    28   after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His    29   started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was    30   all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like    31   himself. All of this because he felt    32   and that no one loved him.
His    33   started worrying about the boy. But    34   they did not know what was wrong with him.    35   his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.
They sat    36   the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him    37   questions about his classes, teachers and    38  . After some time his dad said, “Do you know, son,   39   I am here today?”

These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears. He    43   his dad. They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.
Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this    44   who cared for him deeply. He    45   the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!

Nowadays, millions of lonely singles are now going online instead. The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the world’s most popular matchmaker(媒人).
Singles are flocking(涌向)to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant other. Using dating sites(约会网址)is quick and convenient. Many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else. Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in. In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don’t like can be difficult.
Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems. People aren’t always those who they declare to be in their online description. Safety is another concern. You are just likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr. or Miss Right.
Online dating experts recommend following a few safety tips:
Guard your personal information. Never give out your personal information online. This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work.
Watch for red flags. Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them!
Meet in a safe place. When meeting someone in person, choose a public location with other people around.
Following these tips and you might be able to find the person of your dreams.

Question: I have a one-year-old female bulldog, who has recently taken to biting my shoes when we are in the park and I’m on the mobile. She can be slightly aggressive and I’m starting to get worried and a bit annoyed. How do I stop her? ----Susan, London.
Answer: You need to get this problem under control before it could escalate (恶化). I always advise owners not to talk on the mobile phone when they go for a walk with their dogs, because they should be focusing on this time with their pets, but I know people have busy lives and need to make phone calls.
The behavior she is showing is either controlling or playfulness, but they both result from the same issue ---- you are not paying attention to her. If you must make phone calls while on a walk, try to still engage with your dog by speaking towards her, playing some sorts of game and so on. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to try more of a training approach.
You will need a training line and some treats. Start your walk in the usual way, make a phone call, and when your dog starts displaying the undesired behavior, simply stop walking --- otherwise she will see it as a game. When she is calm and looking at you, or if she sits, give her a treat; then continue walking. If she starts up again, pick up the lead, gently pull it, and tell her “no”.  Then ask her to sit and give her a treat if she does.
The aim of this is to try to get her to forget how much fun it is biting your shoes. Do little sessions every day --- and try not to answer the phone if you know it’s going to be a long conversation. Be patient and good luck!
Remember that if an animal shows signs of distress or discomfort, an early visit to the vet is always recommended.
【小题1】What is Susan complaining about in her question?

A.She doesn’t know how to make phone calls while walking a dog.
B.She has no idea how to get along well with her dog.

【小题2】The probable reason why the pet dog bites its owner’s shoes is that ______.
A.the owner isn’t paying attention to her
B.the owner often makes trouble for the dog
C.the owner plays some dull games with her
D.the owner doesn’t like the pet dog any more
【小题3】The solution to dealing with the distress or discomfort of pets is to _____.
A.talk with them regularly
B.take them to see the vet
C.play games with them
D.let them bite your shoes
【小题4】How can Susan get her pet dog to forget the fun from biting her shoes?
A.By playing some sort of game with the pet dog.
B.By punishing the pet dog strictly.
C.By training her not to do so.
