Lulu is a brave pet in our house.

  As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Many forests are badly _36_ by fire each year. Not far from our house, a forest caught fire during this summer. We were in a heatwave(热浪) which had been _37_ for three days.

  Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible _38_. I no longer had any hope that Lulu would come _39_ to the house. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his _40_ in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my house and _41_ me that my dog Lulu had _42_ to save four kittens（小猫） who were trapped by the flames. According to the fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a _43_ place. I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to _44_ the rescued kittens. When we arrived at the _45_of the incident, we found Lulu was not _46_. Then we heard the _47_ of a dog came from the forest barking furiously（猛烈地）. I _48_ it was my dog Lulu. The fireman followed the tracks（踪迹） of the dog until we found him barking _49_ by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately（绝望地） _50_ rescue. Thanks to Lulu, four kittens and a fireman were saved.

  That day, I was very _51_ of Lulu for his two heroic _52_ toward the kittens and the fireman. Lulu showed much compassion（同情） for both animals _53_ him and for a human being who was trying to _54_ the fire with his colleagues.

  This true story of genuine（真诚的） love and compassion shows us that pets are loving, _55_ and compassionate. We should love and protect them. One day they could do us a good turn.

The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood, when tested. But there is not sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on our weight, your sex, if you’ve just eaten and what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.

　 In fact, your drinking ability can be affected by just one or tow drinks. Even if you’re below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.

　 It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you’re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you’ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or tow drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.

　 In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had the more certain they ere that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts and the less able they were to do it!

　 So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.

　 Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents. One is three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.

　 It is important to remember that driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If you’re involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure.

Last summer, I travelled to Meixian County with my friends. It is a small county at the foot of Taibai Mountain in Shanxi Province. We stayed there for one week and I__1__ my vacation because of the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain.

I will__2__ forget the day when we climbed the main peak(山顶). The __3__in that area changes very quickly: it was sunny in the early morning when we set out, __4__ it began to rain heavily when we were only halfway up.

Soon，we were all__5__ and some of us wanted to go home. They said, “There is nothing__6__ here. We came to see the scenery，__7__the pouring rain！” However, the guide__8__， “Since we have got wet already, why not just go on with our journey？”

So we carried on up the mountain and，__9__we even noticed, the rain stopped and the sun was smiling again. When we reached the top of the peak, the view was unique (独特的)．

Up there, it was bright and clear. The sky was__10__and the air was fresh. The gentle wind made us feel cool. All the clouds were just like waves in the ocean, __11__ and falling under our feet. We could only see the peaks of mountains, as if they were __12__ floating sparsely (稀疏的) in the ocean. It was a really magical experience.

While we were enjoying the scene, the guide said __13__，“You see, I knew that there would be no rain above the clouds.”

It is __14__. While it may rain below the clouds, the sun is still there above them.

You will never see the sun __15__ you don't try your best to climb to the top of the mountain. If we had stopped and gone home when the rain was very heavy, we would never have seen the beautiful scenery __16__ the clouds. I think this is also true in __17__.

As the song says, “You won't see the rainbow unless you have gone through the thunder and storm.” I think in the__18__， whenever I have any difficulties in my life, I will remember the__19__from the top of Taibai Mountain and the __20__ which touched my heart deeply: There is no rain above the clouds.
