Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his 　21 so much. President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,” Dear friend, thank you for your letter to 　22 me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not 　23 me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things 　24 all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man 　25 me who became a thief…”

It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from…. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so 　26 . This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.

Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a great wisdom…. It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time 　 27 he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and 　 28 and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become 　 29 and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, 　30 again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it, it will also smile and 　31 will it when you cry to it.” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own 32 in the end. When we are successful, we can 　33 have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.

I think we should even be grateful to life 　34 we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get 　35 and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus (动力) to 　36 . We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life　　　 37 just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy　 38 to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not 　39 from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and 40 .

　　I stole your dog today．No, I didn't set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like, the word "rubbish " comes to mind．

　　I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse．Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the "cross" that she dragged behind her would have wrapped around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her．

　　She has a beautiful name now．Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should．Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting．She has stopped flinching(畏缩)when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won't beat her, in fact, she rarely leaves my side．She's even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I watched from the window as she attempted to play with the other dogs．No, it's clear she does not miss you or her former life on a chain．

　　It's not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I'll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain ,this is one bit of stolen "property" who is never returning to you, so sue me, accuse me, plead with the courts that she is rightfully yours．I'm convinced this is the best " crime" I've ever committed．Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day I stole your dog．I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life．If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart．

for it.
     "Do you remember how Germont laughed when I said the mystery was difficult for him to work out
because it was so simple?"
     Dupin filled his pipe with tobacco and lit it. "Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized the
police could not find the letter because D'Arcy had not hidden it at all.
     "So I went to visit D'Arcy in his apartment. I took a pair of dark green eyeglasses with me. I explained
to him that I was having trouble with my eyes and needed to wear the dark glasses at all times. He
believed me. The glasses permitted me to look around the apartment while I seemed only to be talking to
him.
     "I paid special attention to a large desk where there were a lot of papers and books. However, I saw
nothing suspicious there. After a few minutes, however, I noticed a small shelf over the fireplace. A few
postcards and a letter were lying on the shelf. The letter looked very old and dirty.
     "As soon as I saw this letter, I decided it must be the one I was looking for. It must be, even though it was completely different from the one Germont had described.
     "This letter had a large green stamp on it. The address was written in small letters in blue ink. I
memorized every detail of the letter while I talked to D'Arcy. Then when he was not looking, I dropped
one of my gloves on the floor under my chair.
     "The next morning, I stopped at his apartment to look for my glove. While we were talking, we heard
people shouting in the street. D'Arcy went to the window and looked out. Quickly, I stepped to the shelf
and put the letter in my pocket. Then I replaced it with a letter that looked exactly like it, which I had
taken with me. I had made it the night before.
     "The trouble in the street was caused by a man who had almost been run over by a horse and carriage.He was not hurt. And soon the crowd of people went away. When it was over, D'Arcy came away from
the window. I said goodbye and left.
     "The man who almost had an accident was one of my servants(雇员). I had paid him to create the
incident."
     Dupin stopped talking to light his pipe. I did not understand. "But, Dupin," I said, "why did you go to
the trouble of replacing the letter? Why not just take it and leave"
     Dupin smiled. "D'Arcy is a dangerous man," he said. "And he has many loyal servants. If I had taken
the letter, I might never have left his apartment alive."
1. What is Dupin probably?
