Surrounded by rolling green hills dotted with horses and cows, the town of Waimea on Hawaii’s Big Island is a peaceful and friendly place. One afternoon, while staying with friends at their house there, my husband and I decided to go for a    36  along the many, mostly traffic-free, country lanes in the area.
We met a beautiful Golden Retriever. He seemed     37   friendly so we stopped to play with him,    38  a stick which he retrieved(取回) several times happily. When we    39   our walk, he followed us, and although I worried that he    40   be going too far from his home, I couldn’t deny that we were enjoying his    41  .
After about twenty minutes, we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area. One house, almost hidden by shrubbery(灌木林) and shaded by tall trees,seemed    42  strange. I felt an urge to be as far away from that place as possible.
Just then, the door to the house creaked open and five dogs    43  , barking and growling as they ran toward us. I felt   44  and couldn’t move. There was nowhere to    45   and no time to run..
All of a sudden, our new friend appeared between the dogs and us. He faced them – all five of them – growling and baring his teeth. I was    46   to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him. Our protector    47  them there while we escaped.    48   a safe distance, we looked back and saw the five dogs   49  back toward their house.
But the Golden Retriever was    50   in sight. I felt an ache in my   51  ; I missed our friend already. Instinctively, I knew he was not hurt. With a feeling of   52  , we made our way back to the house,   53  the whole way that we would see him again. But it was not to be.
When I told our friend about the encounter, her eyes flew wide open   54  she exclaimed, “It was an angel!”
To this day I have no   55  that a four-legged angel protected us.

Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

I liked climbing things when I was a baby. My mother remembers and has told me most of those1moments like this one. When I was one and a half years old, we lived in our first house in Rue St-Louis. On a hot summer day, my father intended to 2the roof of our old house. In order to climb up there, he 3a ladder front of the house.
In my town,4could walk outside because the streets were5. I was outside watching my father climb on that strange thing. I was curious about why my father disappear at last. So I decided to go up it to6why it was impossible to see my father after he reached the7of that thing. At 1.5 years old, still a baby wearing pampers, I climbed that ladder to the roof top and started walking8. My father did not notice that-he was on the other side occupied with his repairs. It happened that a nice lady in our9passed by and10me. The nice lady came to my house and11my mother of it, who was fearful and12ran outside to speak with me.
She really thought I would just13that roof, for I was just a baby14. She asked me to sit down and stop moving in a15way you speak to your babies when they are cute.16, I threw myself flat on the17and waited.

There is a beautiful story about a child playing with a vase his mother had left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned1the sound of her son’s crying she saw that his2was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She3to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out 4. But the hand was stuck fast(牢固地). How would they get it out? The father suggested5the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the 6 . Yet he knew that if all else7there would be no other alternative.
So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more8. Open your hand and stretch your9out straight, as I’m doing, and then pull!” “10Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that I’1111my penny!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand12and was holding it 13in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t 14to open his hand and lose it. But15he opened his hand it came out of the vase easily.
The father said to the boy, “What are you holding onto so tightly as to hinder (阻碍) your walk with God? That vase can be16to the entrance to the Kingdom of God. It is narrow yet quite17to pass in, but first you must open your hand to God and18earthly(世俗的)things to fall. If we keep our fists19and hold fast to what we have and keep it for ourselves, we will be unable to20hold of the hand of God. Open your hand to the hand of God and you will see great things take place.”
