Our wedding anniversary(纪念日)had arrived and like every other day of the year, I was very busy. My husband, Roy. sent me a beautifully wrapped present before the day and he even made a reservation at an expensive restaurant. After a hard day at work, I hurried home, ran into the house and jumped into the shower. When my sweetheart returned, I was already dressed in my finest clothes.
Just at the very moment the babysitter(保姆)arrived and we were ready to go. We were on the point of walking out of the house when the smallest member in our family came over to us with an unhappy look.
“Daddy, didn’t you mean to take me to buy Mamma a present?” Becky, my eight-year-old daughter said.
Roy looked at his watch and realized that if we were to make our reservation, we had to leave right away.
“Sorry, I was late getting home, honey,” he said.
“That’s OK,” Becky replied. “I understand.”
The entire evening was bittersweet. I couldn’t help being concerned about the disappointment in Becky’s eyes. I remembered how the joyful look had left her face, just before the door closed behind us. She wanted me to know how much she loved me. She didn’t realize it, but I already knew it very well.
Today, I can’t remember what was wrapped in that beautiful box, but I’ll never forget the special gift which I received when we arrived back home. Becky was asleep on the bed, holding a box. When I kissed her face, she awoke. “I’ve got something for you, Mamma,” she said, as a giant smile covered her tiny face. The little box was wrapped in newspaper. As I tore the paper off and opened the box, I found the sweetest gift that I have ever received.

One day, I went out of my house and found a medium-sized dog sitting in my yard. The dog stood up and wagged(摇)his tail when he spotted me. I checked him for a collar or an ID tag. He had neither. "Where did you come from?" I asked. I lived in a small, rural town. I knew all the dogs in the neighborhood, but I’d never seen this fellow before.
Half-heartedly, I told him to sit. To my surprise, he sat as I said. "Stay," I said, as I made my way into the garage(车库)where we kept the dry dog food for our dog. I really didn’t expect the dog to stay. But when I returned, he was sitting in the exact spot where I had left him. "Wow! You sure are trained," I told him. I set out a bowl of food, and the dog started eating. I left him in the yard and went inside to read through the newspaper’s "Lost and Found" column. Unfortunately, nobody had reported a missing brown-and-white dog.
Later that afternoon, when my brother and I went out of the house the dog jumped to his feet and started wagging his tail. My brother threw a stick across the yard, and the dog raced after it. "Why don’t you play with him while I go to the store?" I suggested.
After I got back from the store, my brother called me out into the yard. "Watch this," he said. "The dog knows tricks." Sure enough, the dog would fetch, sit, stay, roll over, and lie down following the orders. He also loved jumping to catch a tennis ball in midair. I was impressed-and a little suspicious. This was no ordinary dog. Someone had trained him pretty well. So, I had to wonder: why weren’t his owners looking for him?
We gave him a comfortable place to sleep in the garage. The next day, I called the newspaper and ran a "Found" ad describing our new friend.

William Allard is a photographer for National Geographic magazine whose pictures often appear in it. As Mr. Allard travels around the world, he looks for good photos to share.
All of Mr. Allard's pictures show interesting people and places. But one photograph of a young boy tending his sheep in Peru is different.
One spring afternoon, he was driving down the road. The scenery was so peaceful and quiet, and the fresh air was fragrant with scents, awakening all his cells to breathe them in. The sun cast a warm golden glow on his face. All these were enjoyable. Suddenly, he saw a little figure standing at the edge of the road. One more look and he noticed a boy crying. William pulled over and set the brake. He was told that another driver had come down the road and driven straight through the boy's dozen sheep. About half of them were dead. The driver never stopped. But William did.
The boy was nine or ten years old. His name was Eduardo. Eduardo's family depended on those sheep to earn money and he was responsible for them. Now he must go home and tell his family that half of their sheep were dead. However, he was frustrated to imagine the disappointed look on his parents faces.
William just took a few photos. He saw that Eduardo was very upset, but left quickly. He did not give the boy anything because he had nothing to give. He did not give the boy any money because it is not something he did when he was working. However, when he got back to his hotel, he thought about Eduardo, his dead sheep and his tears. He also thought about Eduardo's family. He realized what it would mean to lose that many sheep: the mountains of Peru can be a hard place to live and work.
Paragraph 1:
As soon as William returned home, he spoke with the people at National Geographic magazine.

One day my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in. But the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out.
"That's the whole idea," my grandfather explained. "The piggy bank will help you save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dream about." He added, "Will you put some of the money given by me in the following days into the piggy bank?" I said “yes" and promised.
Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew excited, dreaming about what I could do with my savings.
One day my friend and I visited the new ice-cream shop in town. but we didn't have enough money to buy just one ice cream. So my friend asked me to take some money out of my piggy bank. "No, I can't." I replied. "There is an opening for putting the money in, but no way for taking any out. Besides, my grandfather told me that I need to save money until the end of the year."
"Come on…" said my friend. Finally, I gave in. We took the piggy bank to the park and tried our best to shake out the money. We succeeded. From then on, I became good at taking money out of my piggy bank. Soon, it became a habit. And I started taking out money whenever I wanted it.
One day I was doing that again when my grandfather walked in. I was frightened.
