Eli looked up at the sky. It was bright blue, his favorite color. As he lay on his back, the soft green grass brushed against his arms and legs. The cool wind kept him at the perfect temperature, and the weather was just right for playing outside. Every summer vacation, he and his family drove to the small city of Ithaca to visit his mother’s family.
Just as Eli was starting to fall asleep in the backyard, his stomach growled (饥肠辘辘). “Time for dinner” he thought. So he stood up and began to walk back to the house. Suddenly he noticed something move out of the corner of his eye. It was near the woods in the back yard. Then he heard some rustling (沙沙地响). So he went to check what it was. When he got closer, the object stopped moving. He walked over quietly until he could see something lying in the grass — it was a baby deer!
Even though Eli was standing very close to the animal, he found it strange that the baby deer didn’t try running away. Eli rushed into the house and told his mother what he had found. “Well, we should check if the deer is injured. If not, we shouldn’t do anything because its mother will come back and take care of it,” she told Eli. So the two of them walked to the baby animal. Eli’s mother walked very slowly and finally got close enough to the deer.
Eli watched his mother frow n as she examined the baby deer. She walked back to Eli. “I think its back le g is injured,” she said. “But we’ll wait for a few hours and see if the deer’s mother comes back for it. If we do anything now, we might scare it and hurt it more.” Eli wanted to help the baby, but he knew his mother was right. They went back into the house and had lunch. They both kept checking the clock.

“Watch out! You nearly hit that car!” My father yelled at me.“Can’t you do anything right?”Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me. An uncomfortable feeling rose in my throat as I looked down. I wasn’t prepared for another argument.“I saw the car, Dad. Please don’t shout at me when I’m driving.”My voice was calm and even, sounding far calmer than I really felt. Dad stared at me, and then turned away and settled back.
That night I went outside to collect my thoughts. What could I do about him? Dad had been a lumberjack(伐木工人) in Washington and Oregon. He had enjoyed being outdoors using his strength against the forces of nature. The first time he couldn’t lift a heavy log,he joked about it; but later that same day I saw him outside alone, struggling to lift it. He became angry whenever anyone made fun of his advancing age, or when he couldn’t do something he had done as a younger man.
Four days after his sixty-seventh birthday, he had a heart attack. An ambulance sped him to the hospital. At the hospital, Dad was rushed into an operating room. He was lucky;he survived. But something inside Dad died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow the doctor’s orders. Suggestions and offers of help were turned down with rude words. The number of visitors thinned, and then finally stopped altogether. Dad was left alone.
My husband, Nick, and I asked Dad to come and live with us on our small farm. We hoped the fresh air and rural atmosphere would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. It seemed that nothing was satisfactory. He criticized everything I did. I became upset. Soon I was taking my anger out on Nick. We began to argue. Luckily, Nick had a friend who was a mental health expert. After he listened to our story, he recommended that we should find a dog to accompany Dad. I thought maybe I should have a try.

For two years, Mika and I were hunting for a cheap, cosy cottage by a stream. Then, late one night, something appeared online. A log cabin(木屋)on four acres, with a dirt road to the Susquehanna River and protected farmland on all sides. Perfect!
Except......
“You know where it is, riiiight?” the realtor(房地产经纪人)warned when I called the next morning. Only two houses were down there. Everything else, for hundreds of acres, was open farmland. No police, no local government, not even a grocery store. The only place within fifteen miles to buy food was a one-room shop in the back of an Amish farm. If we moved out there, he warned, we'd be completely our own.
Whatever. It had to be better than our apartment here, right?
We pulled into the dirt drive way to find horses eating grass along the fence, flowers blooming in the streams, and an Amish farmer rumbling(轰隆隆)past in a steel-wheeled truck. Unbelievable! We threw open the car doors, excitedly talking about the wonderful view. Pulling the realtor aside, we couldn't wait to make an offer. And a few weeks later, we left Philly for our dream home.
Solitude(独处)was going to be our biggest problem — or so I thought, until I heard Mika scream. I dropped the box I was unpacking and came running. I found her on the back door, holding two-year-old Maya in her arms, moving away from a six-foot black snake winding at her feet. She had been watering a row of plants and when she stepped from one to the next, the snake dropped from the roof and felt down right where Mika had been standing a second earlier.

Honesty Won’t Let You Down
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take the money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the dining room. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class but he was very arrogant. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about anyone.
Asad thought he might borrow some money from Fahad and return it to him the next day. So he got up and slowly went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money.
Fahad smirked (讥笑) and said, “I knew you were a loser, but I didn’t know you were also a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that the other kids heard and also made fun of Asad.
It was too humiliating (丢脸的) for Asad. He could not answer Fahad and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. He could still hear them laughing at him in the distance. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and saying that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.

My daughter always loved small toys. She carried a little purse with them in it. When my daughter was about three years old, the movie Bambi was re-released. It became her favourite movie. Then her favourite toys became all the Bambi characters: Thumper, the rabbit; the wise, old owl; and, most especially, Bambi, the fawn (小鹿).
One day, when I got home from work, a tragedy (悲剧) had happened to Bambi. He had lost two of his four legs to our dog, who had picked up the toy and chewed the legs to bits. I tried to make all the legs the same size because my daughter’s worry was that Bambi couldn’t walk now. So, I “operated” on Bambi and bandaged (用绷带包扎) his legs so they would “heal”. As a nurse, that was the only thing I could think of to make her feel better about her constant companion. My daughter was very disappointed that I couldn’t make Bambi all better because that is what mums do, especially mums who are nurses. The next day, I went to work, and the mother of one of the kids asked me how I had enjoyed my time off. She had a child who was seriously ill. She listened as I told her about the Bambi tragedy and smiled. She said her — girls were very attached to a few things, and she understood my daughter’s heartbreak. She told me that one of her daughters had loved a stuffed animal that fell apart, and someone had made her a new one just like the old one. It was lying on the bed next to the tiny girl who was my patient. I had observed how she loved her stuffed animal, and in fact we made sure her animal had an oxygen mask just like hers.

In Ireland there is a mental hospital that every year picks two of the most reformed patients and questions them. If they get the questions right, they are free to leave. This year the two lucky patients were Patty and Mike. They were called up to the office and left there in order. They were told to wait as the doctor got their files. The doctor came out and signed for Patty to come in for her questioning.
When Patty came into the office, she was instructed to sit on the seat across from the doctor. “Patty, you know the tradition of this hospital so I imagine you know why you are here. You will be asked two questions, and if you get them right, you will be free to go. Do you understand all that you have been told?” said the doctor. Patty nodded, and the doctor began to question her.
The first question was this: “Patty, if I were to dig out one of your eyes, what would happen?” “I would be partially blind of course,” Patty answered without much thought. “What would happen if I picked out the other eye?” “I would be completely blind,” said Patty, knowing that she had just gotten her freedom. The doctor then sent her outside while he drew up the paperwork and looked through Mike’s files.
When Patty got into the waiting room, however, she told Mike what the questions would be and what the correct answers were. The doctor called in Mike and he followed the same procedure that he had with Patty. “Mike,the first question is what would happen if I cut off your ear?” “I would be blind in one eye,” he said, remembering what he had been told.
This received a puzzled look from the doctor but he just simply asked the other question so that he could figure out what the man was thinking. “Mike, what would happen if I cut off your other ear?” “I would be completely blind,” he answered with a smile as if he knew he had passed.
Paragraph 1:
Patty was called up to the office where she answered some questions by the doctor again.

Mike was also free to go home.
