Susan was a woman who hated animals very much. She never wanted to keep any pets at home. To her, all pets     1     very dirty and boring. Susan couldn’t understand why people would like to have pets in the house. “It’s so stupid!” she always said.

Last month Susan’s daughter, Penny, came home from school with a mouse in the box. Susan was very angry. But Penny said that it was her homework. Her teacher asked each student to take care of an animal and     2     to get along with it. Susan had to say yes.

It was fun for Penny at the very beginning, but then she got quite lazy and forgot     3     her homework. It became Susan’s homework. She gave it food and water every day and found that the mouse was in fact not dirty. She even talked to it! It was not boring or stupid! Now Susan     4     in love with the mouse. She named it Nini. And she     5     another one to make a pair.

That afternoon, Jane's mother was     2     to see a big gorilla with long hair sitting in the kitchen. Jane told her mother, "I found him in the city square. He seemed so lonely. I talked to him. We became friends at once and he followed me home. "

"Well, you know you can't keep him," her mother said. " You must send him back to the Zoo. you'd better     3     the police. "

Soon a policeman came and also a truck from the zoo. Nobody was angry with Jane when she told her story. The policeman knew Jane loved animals. And the zookeeper said, Thank you for your     4    . I can see the gorilla likes you, but we need him back." Jane agreed, she hugged the gorilla and said that she would go and see him     5    .

These days Jane has stopped     6     animals, but you can still find her, with her friend gorilla at the zoo on Saturdays and Sundays!

Jane grew up with her grandma. She     1     her grandma very much. One day, Jane received some bad news. Her grandma had a     2     type of cancer. This made Jane very sad.

Jane’s grandma once had a dream of travelling around the world. Jane wanted to help her     3     it, but her grandma was very sick. One day, Jane had a great idea. If Grandma could not travel     4    , maybe there was another way.

The next day, Jane went     5     to tell people her grandma’s story. She posted pictures of her grandma on a blog (博客). She asked people if they could help her grandma see the world     6     pictures. After a few days, many people began to follow Jane’s blog. They began posting pictures of Grandma visiting places all over the world. They also sent their warm     7     with every picture.
