Teresa Perkins was driving 80 miles per hour along Route 340 on Wednesday. The woman knew she was going too fast, but it was the only hope she had. Her dog, Jett, was dying in the backseat. About a half hour earlier she had received a call from her daughter, who had been playing with Jett, a 3-year-old, 120-pound black German Shepherd. The ball they were playing with got stuck in Jett’s throat. The dog was struggling to breathe.
Perkins raced home to see if she could help, but the dog slobber (口水) had made the ball too slippery to pull out by hand. They put the dog in the backseat of her car and began their race to the vet in Waynesboro.
About halfway there, Perkins got caught in construction traffic. Jett was struggling even more at that point and Perkins knew she only had minutes, but she was now stopped in a line of cars. She began blowing her horn (喇叭) to get the attention of someone, anyone, when three construction workers walked up to her. In a panicked voice, she told them her dog was dying.
“By then my dog was pretty much dead,” Perkins said on Wednesday night. “He was lying in the car, not moving. I had heard him breathe, broken- winded, but then he quit. I was wildly crying and praying.”
Cavaja Holt was one of the workers standing there. He stuck his hand down the weak dog’s throat and pulled out the ball, but Jett still wasn’t breathing. “And the guy behind Holt tried to breathe in Jett’s mouth,” Perkins said. “And he did.” Perkins jumped out of the car and helped start doing first aid on Jett. The two were working together to save the dog’s life, when Holt cried, “He’s awake.”
Perkins began crying and just thanking Holt over and over. When she saw the line of cars, she thought she had made a mistake going that direction. It turned out that it was the best choice she could have made.

After arriving home, Perkins thought she was so anxious that she forgot to ask Holt’s name then.

Once in a village lived a young sculptor (雕刻师), who used to make very beautiful statues and by this he earned a good income.
He had a son who started making statues from his childhood, and his son could make good statues. Father would be happy with his son's work but every time he would point out one or other mistakes in his son's work,
Still his son never complained and continued to improve his work, following the advice of his father. Because of Son's continuous improvement, his work started becoming better than his father's. Then came a time when people started to pay more money for his statues than his father's.
Son got young and was earning better but his father continued to point out mistakes in his son's work. Now Son didn't like it. He couldn't accept his shortcoming and didn't work wholeheartedly.
Then one day, Son lost his patience and said, “You are pointing out my mistakes as if you were a big sculptor. But if that's the case then your statues would have sold at higher price than mine. I don't think I need your advice anymore. My statues are perfect.”
After that day, Father stopped giving any advice or pointing out any mistakes in his statues.
For some months Son was happy but then he realized that people didn't praise his work as they used to. The price of his statues also started to fall.

A little boy almost thought of himself as the unluckiest child in the world because poliomyelitis （小儿麻痹症）made him unable to walk like normal people. He seldom played with his classmates, and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.
One spring, the boy's father asked for some young trees from the neighbor. He wanted to plant them in the front of the house. He told his children to plant a tree each person. The father said to the children, "Whose tree grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift" The boy also wanted to get his father's gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily, he had a terrible idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So he never attended to it.
A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn't die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, "from the tree you planted, you will become a great person when you grow up."

At dinner, Holly was talking about her father's huge car. It used too much petrol. It made too much noise. And it caused too much pollution.
“You have to change it, Dad,” Holly said. “It's destroying the environment.” “Actually, I'm thinking of working from home, so I won't need the car.” “That's great!”
Her father looked quickly at his wife, then decided to continue, “But I'm going to build a new office at the end of the garden.”
“At the end of the garden? There is the old oak tree...” Holly didn't finish the sentence. Her face turned white with anger.
Holly's mother said, “That tree is very old, Holly. And your father can have his hew office there. It's perfect.”
Holly was so upset. She couldn't believe this was happening. What could she do? They were going to cut down her tree!
She walked out into the garden. The sun was sinking now and the old oak tree was huge and dark against the sky. She climbed up the rope ladder and disappeared among the leaves and branches.
Now she was inside her old tree house. It was her favourite place in the world, her secret place. There were holes in its roof and there were old birds' nests in the comers. But there was a little chair, some broken toys and some blankets. She sat down and looked out at the garden and the sky. She could see the moon and stars. She could hear a bird singing. She could see the lights inside her house.

I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen, a notebook, a calculator, and a pile of bills, I was doing my monthly budget(预算). There were bills for electric, water, rent, insurance, the car payment, the phone bill, and the WiFi bill. Plus money needed to be set aside for food, gas, clothes, and hopefully a little left over to save for those unexpected bills that always seemed to show up. When I was done I shook my head, closed my eyes, and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week long camps all through the Summer and my grandma who I lovingly called “Nanny” worked in its big kitchen. I remember sneaking(溜进) in there getting a smile, a hug, a kiss, and a hot cookie from Nanny. Then she would always dig deep in her pockets and pull out a treasure, a shiny coin. She would give it to me and I would run down the hill to either get an ice cold can of coke from the pop machine or I would head to the camp’s swimming pool where I could buy a warm cup of cherry coke for 15 cents and a tiny 10 cent bag of chips from the stand. I took my time because it was always a big decision. It was nice to feel so rich for a few minutes.
Looking back now I can see that the real treasure wasn't the coin at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me. I would have still visited her at work every day if I had never gotten a single coin. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.

I was 8 years old. I had little need of luggage. But something about that old leather suitcase appealed to my imagination. In fact, I found it in my grandmother's attic. Grams didn't object, and so the suitcase came to live beneath my bed. I didn't use the old suitcase before that day.
It was a cloudy fall morning in our North Carolina town, and a fine mist wet the fallen leaves. I was angry. My mother had slighted me somehow, though now I have no idea what stirred up my anger. I was upset, and I wanted to make her pay. I wanted to give her a taste of what life would be like without me.
I would run away.
“Goodbye, Mom.”
I stood outside the kitchen door, suitcase grabbed firmly in hand. I wore my red overcoat and gray ski cap, looking the part. “Goodbye, Mom,” I repeated twice more to make sure she'd heard.
At last, Mom appeared, wiping her hands on a dish towel. She looked at me quickly. I lifted the suitcase a little just to make sure she didn't miss it.
“I'm leaving,” I said.
I'd rehearsed for the expected reaction. The plan was to let her feel guilty and beg for a minute or two and then I would give in after I was sure of her regret.
“Did you pack a lunch?”
Mom's question knocked me off balance. Where were the tears? The begging? "I'm leaving," I said. "I'm running away. For... ever." I repeated, sure it would change her mind. Instead, she smiled.
“Well, would you like me to fix you something? A sandwich? A bag of chips? I just made chocolate chip cookies.”
“I'm really going," I said. “I can see that.”
“Maybe a cookie.” And then, “All right, I'm off” The misty rain lent drama to my journey.

I couldn’t stop thinking about watermelons. I’d saved all y money to buy one. One giant, juicy wonderful watermelon all for me. I was going to eat it all up, for the seeds.
At the store I searched carefully, looking for the biggest, juiciest, and most wonderful one I could find. There it was. I picked up my dream watermelon and put it on the floor. I rolled my treasure to the checkout line and waited for the cashier to weigh. Fifteen pounds!
After paying,I rolled it out the door , then along the sidewalk, three blocks to my house. Sweat fell in drops from my forehead onto the watermelon. in drops from my forehead onto the watermelon.
＂Lucy! What are you doing with that watermelon?" Mom asked in surprise.
“I saved up my money and bought it at the grocery store. I’m going to eating it all by myself.”
Mom frowned,and warned, “You'll get sick.”
＂Please,” I begged. “I've been saving all my money for it.”
Mom thought for a while, and then smiled meaningfully as if she knew something.She asked me to roll my giant,juicy,wonderful watermelon out the back door to our picnic table in the yard. She brought out a knife and some paper plates. My sister followed her.“Oh,watermelon,"she exclaimed with joy. “I want some.”
“Sorry,”I told her. “I'm going to eat it all by myself.”“Mom!” she cried,deep disappointment in her eyes.
“Your sister saved her money and bought it herself. She decides what to do with it.”
My brother came out next.“Watermelon! Can I have some?” he asked eagerly.“No way,"I refused him without hesitation. “I'm going to eat it all by myself.” “Mom!” my brother protested loudly.
“It's your sister's watermelon. She decides.”
“You can't eat that all by yourself," he challenged.
“Yes,I can!”I declared firmly.
My father came out. “Oh,watermelon!” he said, seeing it.
＂Don't even ask,”said my brother.
“She won't share,” my sister added.
Mom cut the watermelon into eight pieces in total.I reached for my first piece and took a bite.Red juice ran down my chin(下巴）.

I couldn't believe that my father shouted at me and called me a fool! In all my 18 years, I'd never heard him say anything like that to anyone. But then, I had never shouted the words "I hate you!" in his face, either. I guess we were both pretty angry. I had been saving money from my part-time job for three years and now I wanted to use it to buy a car. He wanted me to save it for college expenses.
I knew that we both needed time to cool off. I left him sitting at the kitchen table, ran down the stairs to the driveway, and jumped on my bike. I headed for the road that runs along the river. It's usually pretty quiet there and I've found that it's a good place to go to when l need to think something out. Riding along, I kept thinking over and over, "But it's my money! I earned it!" Little by little, I calmed down. Circling back toward town later, I stopped in the park. I had a drink of water and decided to avoid Dad for the rest of the day.
He must have had the same idea—about avoiding me, that is. He didn't come up to my room to say goodnight, and I didn't go downstairs. I couldn't get to sleep that night. I kept going over our argument in my mind. He felt I didn't really need a car. After all, I could use his anytime I wanted to. In addition, he paid for my driver's insurance and bought all the gas. It's just that all my friends were buying their own cars and I wanted one of my own. I really wanted that car. I finally fell asleep and when I woke up I didn't really change my mind. But I felt a little better.

One day, when I arrived at my friend Ollie's house, I found him tossing (扔)one stone at a time into a plastic flowerpot. He didn't bother to look at me when I walked up. I grabbed a handful of stones nearby and we took turns tossing. After a while I asked him what was on his mind. Ollie sighed that he couldn't think of anything good enough for his grandmother, Abuela, on Mother's Day, who was pretty much like a mom to Ollie.
I smiled, suggesting we figure out what she liked most. Just then, Abuela walked out and invited me to lunch. Gladly I accepted it and asked her about the most delicious food she'd ever eaten. Abuela thought for a while and said, “Nothing beats the wonderful soup Mr. Chan makes at his Happy Garden Restaurant except for the soup my grandmother made. And speaking of my grandmother, she made her special strawberry ice cream. Yep, that homemade ice cream had to be the best thing I've ever tasted!”
I winked (眨眼）at Ollie. Ollie winked at me, too.
Over the next few days, Ollie and I asked everyone we knew if they happened to have an old-fashioned ice cream recipe (食谱）, but no luck. My dad helped us search for some online and we found a fun one that didn't require any fancy equipment, just a couple of empty coffee cans. My little brother and sister helped us make Mother's Day Ice-cream Party invitations, and we all came up with a song in honor of Abuela and my mom.
