In the middle of the night, Peter's wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn't help crying, “Oh, my stomach (胃)! Get the  16  !”

   Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 17  dream.

   “Stop that noise.” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to  18  again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I'm sure I'm  19  !”

   Peter got out of bed and started  20  , but he could not find him any clothes.

   “Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was  21  ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my  22  stomach!”

   As soon as he had put his clothes  23  , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite  24  that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait  25  morning, can't you?”

   “No, I can't. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“  26  you will find me dead  27  the morning.”

   So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters  28  he heard his wife calling him again.

   “I'm  29  again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.

   Hearing this, he started running as  30  as he could towards the doctor's. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake  31  around.

   The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who's there?”

   “Oh, Doctor.”Peter said to him, “I've very  32  news for you. My wife  33  ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼). I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly  34  her. So you need not come. Go back to   35  now,and sleep well!”

Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.

   “I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought.

   She went to the doctor and told him her problem.

   “I'm not at all surprised.” he said, “I know what your problem is.”

   He examined her and then gave her some advice.

   “If you don't do what I say, Mrs Parker,” he said, “You will have a heart attack (心脏病发作). It could kill you.”

   Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor's. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time.

   The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop (肉铺).

   “I'd like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please.” she said.

   “Certainly, madam.” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale (称).

   “That's just ten pounds.” he said.

   “That's big enough.” Mrs Parker said.

   The butcher worked out the price.

   “At S|4.99 a pound that will be S|49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”

   “Oh, I don't want to buy the meat.” Mrs Parker said.

   “If you don't want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “Why did you ask me to get it for you?”

In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they won't carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a feeding place for birds in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.

People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be that their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life.
