文档简介
During summer vacations, I would volunteer at the pet rescue (救助) centre, so I could see a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog Id ever seen by far. Her body looked like a sausage. Her hair was too thin to 31 her body. Her eyes always seemed surprised, and her tail was so short that it looked like a rats tail. She looked so strange that her 32 didnt want her any more. She was brought to the centre. But I thought, “Minnie was kind and sweet. No one should laugh at her strange looking.” So I gave Minnie a good bath and 33 her in the newspaper: “Funny-looking dog, kind and sweet, needs loving 34 .” Later, a boy called me, but I warned him that Minnie was 35 . However, the boy told me that his grandfathers sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted to keep Minnie very much. Hearing these words, I said that they could take Minnie away. I combed (梳) her hair, and gave her a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car stopped in front of the pet rescue centre. Two kids 36 to the door. They put Minnie into their arms and rushed out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction (反应). Inside the car, the grandfather put Minnie in his arms and 37 her soft hair. Shelooked very relaxed and happy. “Shes perfect, and I like her!” the old man said. I was 38 that Minnie had found a good owner. Just at that time, I saw that the grandfathers eyes were a milky white colorhe was blind. After that summer vacation, I missed Minnie so much. So I went back to the grandfathers house. The grandfather was walking in the garden with Minnie 39 the way. I could see both of them were happy. “Minnie is the most beautiful dog in my eyes,” said the grandfather, “Ive 40 felt happier before!” Hearing this, I was pretty happy! 31.

Since then, he has had to depend on the 36 of his younger sister Ella. In order to take care of him, Ella became his shadow, never leaving him 37 for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life. As they grew up together, they had their share of 38 and they would often quarrel.

My son is now 22 but whenever I look at him even as a grown man, I remember the small child with 31 .Our cat was ready to give birth. And like all young children, my son was very interested in the 32 of the babies. During the following week, he never stopped begging me for a chance to witness (见证)it. At last, I agreed. I answered all his questions and prepared him the best 33 he might not be shocked or frightened.That 34 when my son arrived home, one baby cat had been born. He was so 35 at what he saw that he would put his hand on the mother cats stomach and feel the other babies 36 . When the mother cat began to 37 very loudly, it was clear that the second baby was on its way. My son watched but never said a word. Then he asked me, “Mum, why does she cry so loudly when the baby comes?” I explained that it was not a hurtful pain 38 a pain of great pleasure for the mother. When the birth of the third baby was coming by the crying of the mother cat, my son suddenly hugged (拥抱) me with tears rolling down his face, saying, “Mum, Im sorry for the 39 I brought you to have me.” My heart almost stopped.

Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” hed told his wife. “Ill look after _31_, and you can go to visit your mom.” Things started well, but just after eight oclock, his three little “good kids” Mike, Randy, and Alexcame down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “Breakfast, daddy.” When _32_ had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alexs head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍). Mike chanted “Wheres my hot dog, wheres my hot dog.” in the background. Brad _33_ his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds. Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randys trousers on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex _34_ again because he was going to wet his short pants (短裤). Nobody could find _35_ socks, although they were before their eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled (洒,泼出) a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already _36_. By ten oclock, things were out of _37_. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his _38_ by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination _39_ that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible. At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wifes away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was _40_ “yes” because Brad was smiling. 31. A. the kidsB. your workC. the houseD. myself32. A. clothesB. foodC. dadD. mum33.

Finally“Mommy, look!” cried my daughter, Darla, pointing to a chicken hawk in the air.“Uh huh,” I answered, driving, lost in thought about the timetable of my day. 31 filled her face. “Whats the matter, sweetheart?” I asked.“Nothing,” my seven-year-old daughter said. The moment was gone. Dinner, baths and phone calls 32 the hours until bedtime.“Come on, Darla, time for bed!” She raced past me up the stairs. Tired, I kissed her and tucked her in. “Mom, I forgot to give you something!” she said. “Give it to me in the morning.” I said. My 33 was gone. I could hardly stay cool.“You wont have time in the morning!” she talked back quickly.“Ill take time,” I answered. Sometimes no matter how hard I tried, time was never enough. She wasnt ready to 34 up yet. “No, you wont! It will be just like today when I told you to look at the chicken hawk. You didnt 35 listen to what I said.”I was too tired to argue; she hit too 36 to the truth. “Good night!” I shut her door in anger.Later though, her gray-blue eyes filled
