My Earth Day Birthday
10．The Lost Dog
One very cold Saturday in January，I was told to take our dog out for a walk，but it was so cold that I didn't want to go outside．Instead，I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself．
However，another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house，and our dog sped after to catch him．（56）E．Unfortunately，it was too late，and my dog was gone．I walked a few blocks，but I was unable to find him．
Sadly，I returned home．I told my mother what had happened and I said，"I thought he would be able to come back by himself．"
My mother was very angry．（57）B．The signs read，"Lost：A big black dog． Please call us right away．"and she printed our phone number on the bottom I posted the signs along the streets around．The whole time，I was very sad and worried about our dog．（58）A．I continued looking for our dog in the neighborhood，but I didn't see him anywhere．I called out his name，looking in all the backstreets．
I got more and more upset All I wanted was to stay warm，but now I was very cold-and so was my dog．
Finally，I gave up．（59）C"Our dog came back home by himself．So，you were right-he did come back-but you were wrong，too．You should have been more responsible this morning．"She said．
"Yes，I was wrong．"I said in shame．
（60）D．What seems easy at first may turn out to be difficult in the end．

Crystal （水晶）Shoes
"Hi，Jerry!"Kathy ran towards me with a bright smile，saying，"I'm going to have a dance performance （表演）tonight．I hope you'll come．（56）A，and don't forget!"Then she left in a hurry．
"What？Dance？Is that possible？"I asked myself．（57）E She was a quite common girl．I had never seen her wearing colorful clothes．In fact，she really did not know how to dress up．What a terrible thing!
"I should go．I must go!"I thought．
（58）D，found my seat and sat down．Her performance was the seventh one．I knew I would have a hard time before her turn，for I had no sense of art．Time went slowly，I tried my best not to fall asleep．
Just then，came the words"Let's welcome the next exciting dance-Kathy!"
Hearing this，I opened my eyes as large as possible，I was afraid to lose anything．Wearing a golden and shining skirt，Kathy appeared（59）B，looking like a pretty butterfly flying．I could hardly believe my eyes．
（60）C，I waited for her at the gate．
"Hi!"She stood in front of me with a big smile．"How do you feel？"
"Fantastic!"I answered．
"Haha．I knew you would be．"She could not hide her excitement，laughing like a child．
At that time，I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella （灰姑娘）．
