It seems that women and beauty go together.? I think so.? Look around yourself. Fashion ads are almost everywhere.? Whether they have realized or not, a sea of. fashion is all around women.? They are made to think that without beautiful clothes they will look old and lose their charm(魅力）. So who doesn’t want to dress up to be beautiful and young?

A woman has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt”, but she can still be beautiful if she has excellent qualities like knowledge, a kind heart and great courage(勇气）.

What’s more，old and young,? beautiful and ugly are relative.? People who keep a young mind will never feel old.? Knowing about new things and wanting to learn more，they can keep up with fashion.? Simply dressed women are also beautiful in their own way.

Something was crying outside. So I went out to see what was happening. A big cat sat by the door. It must run for a long time as it looked tired and dirty. I let it in my house and took out some food; this poor cat ate all, but still looked starving…, so I got my own cats’ fish, and the cat ate that too!

My five-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter were interested in the cat. They bathed (给……洗澡) it and fed it more food. They wanted to keep it. But I didn’t agree. It was not because I didn’t love it. We already had 2 cats and 2 dogs and our house was not big enough to keep more. Another reason was that I thought maybe it got lost. And its owner (主人) must be worried about it. Then I posted notices all over the town in the hope of finding its home. I also bought an ad (广告)time on a radio station. Three weeks passed, but there was no response (答复).

Finally, I decided to keep the cat. Our house was small, but I would take good care of it as possible as I could.??
