12．My uncle is grateful to me forpersuading（说服）him into giving up smoking．

11．The Game of Love
Dad brought him home from a fishing trip in the mountains，full of cockleburs（苍耳） and so thin you could count every rib．
"My god，"Mom said．"He's dirty!"
"No，he isn't!he's Rusty，"said John，my eight-year-old brother．"Can we keep him？Please…please…please．"
Mom gave in，as she usually did with John．My little brother had a mild form of hemophilia（血友病）．Four years earlier，he'd almost bled to death from a routine tonsillectomy（扁桃体切除术）．We'd all been careful with him since then．
"All right，John，"Dad said．"We'll keep Rusty．But he's your responsibility．""Deal!"
And that's how Rusty came to live with us．He was John's dog from that very first moment，though he tolerated the rest of us．John kept his word．He fed，watered and cleaned the messy-looking animal every day．I think he liked taking care of something rather than being taken care of．
Over the summer，Rusty grew into a big，handsome dog．He and John were constant companions．Wherever John went，Rusty was by his side．When school began，Rusty would walk John the six blocks to elementary school，then come home．Somehow，he sensed that John shouldn't play like the other boys．He was very protective．When John and his best friend Bobby wrestled，Rusty monitored their play with a watchful eye．If John were on top，fine．If Bobby got John down，Rusty would hop over，grab Bobby's collar and pull him off．Bobby and John thought this game great fun．
In the spring，John got an afternoon paper route．He'd come home from school，fold his papers and take off on his bike to deliver them．He always took the same streets，in the same order．Of course，Rusty delivered papers，too．
One day，for no particular reason，John changed his route．Instead of turning left on a street as he usually did，he turned right．Thump!…Crash!…A screech of brakes…Rusty sailed through the air．
Someone called us about the accident．I had to pry John from Rusty's lifeless body so that Dad could bring Rusty home．
"It's my fault，"John said over and over．"Rusty thought the car was gonna hit me．He thought it was another game．"
"The only game Rusty was playing was the game of love，"Dad said．"You both played it well．"
John sniffled．"Huh!"
"I want him back，"John wailed．"My Rusty's gone!"
"No，he isn't，"Dad said，hugging John and me．"Rusty will stay in your memories forever．"
And he has．

10．A beautiful girl fell into a city moat （护城河） as a result of a careless step．She was swept by the currents （水流） to a broken fence of a bridge arch （拱门） in the moat，which caught her dress and stopped her for a short time．As the currents were rapid and the water surface is two or three meters below the ground，it would be hard to rescue her and even harder for the rescuer to climb up to safety．None of the passers-by dared to run the risk．
Eventually a young man dived into the moat，attempting her rescue．As a good swimmer，he soon reached the girl and dragged her to the bridge pier （桥墩）．The accident attracted a large crowd，and not only came a group of firemen trying to help but also a lot of reporters．One of the latter asked the young man，"What made you run the risk in such rapid currents？"
The young man turned to the girl and gave a loud answer，"It was her beauty．"The answer caused a general smile among the on-lookers．"Didn't you have any idea of the danger you would come across？"asked the reporter again．"Why，"said the young man，"She's so charming that it would be a great pity if she had been swept away by the rapid currents．"This time all burst out laughing．
