A foreigner once   39  hungry and went into a restaurant in London. He sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he   40  his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again in order to   41  that he wanted something   42  because he could not speak English. The waiter soon   43  him a cup of tea. The man shook his head. The waiter then took   44  the tea and gave him a cup of coffee. Still the man didn’t   45  what he wanted. He tried again and again, but he wasn’t able to make the waiter   46  him. Finally   47  man came in. He spoke English   48  and fluently. After a few minutes, there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of   49  .

I never wanted a dog, but now I'm so glad I have one. About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named her Gertie.

Gertie is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I dicided that the dog would be trained. This didn't quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾)so loudly that I hardly got a good night's sleep.

Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I was unable to stop it. My behaviour(行为方式)began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them in a street. I returned(招手)from neighbours. I started calling my kids, and to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing.

My wife and I both agree that it is Gertie who has changed my behaviour. Gertie is now nearly two years old and almost fully grown.I have come to like the pet little by little, though she is my wife's dog.
