Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test .If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’ First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand new dictionary.

Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-1-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She had spelled honesty, not honestly. She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.

Ms. McCormack graded the test papers at the break. Meanwhile, Karie sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then, Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat, “Congratulations. Karie! You did it!” she announced.

The whole class burst into applause! Ms McCormack presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box: To Karie Carter; for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.

“Everything OK?” Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. Karie didn’t answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother, Mom hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.

Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in the midair. She just couldn’t believe her own eyes. Honesly? YES! H-O-N-E-S-L-Y.

Mom sensed something unusual and asked why. Karie stuffed the test paper into her backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a “t” was exactly what she needed.

After drinking a little, Karie plodded(重步走) down the hall, lost in thought How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all?

For many years, I had a recurring dream. I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school.

“Hurry, you'll be late for school,” my mother called to me.

“I am hurrying, Mom! What did I do with my books?”

Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle to receive my diploma. That seemed more appealing even than getting married.

But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn't afford tuition. My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought: “There goes my diploma.”

Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt sorry for her and I didn't want her to live her life with regret. I didn't give up hope of her being back to school in some way.

One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That's the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I'll just sign her up for night school.

Linda was busy filling out enrollment forms when the secretary said: “Mrs. Schantz, why don't you come back to school?”

I laughed: “There's no way! I'm 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.

The Box Cat

Chester was born in a box with four other kittens. He was in a smaller box marked "free kitten" when Sasha met him and took him home. And from that moment on, he loved boxes. Every day after he finished grooming（刷洗）, licking his paws and fur with his tongue, he would look around for a box to sleep in.

He slept in hat boxes, gift boxes and takeout food boxes. He slept in Sasha's sock drawer, if she left it open. One year Sasha got a beautiful dollhouse for her birthday, a dark green three-story house with lots of furniture. Sasha loved it. So did Chester. He liked to push the furniture out of all the rooms and sit in the bedroom on the second floor. Sasha had to redecorate the dollhouse every day, but she didn't mind as long as Chester was happy.

One day Sasha came home from school, and she couldn't find Chester. He wasn't in the dollhouse, or her sock drawer, even though she'd forgotten to close it.

"Mom, Dad!" Sasha wailed（大叫）. "Chester is gone!"

Sasha's mom looked in the attic. There were boxes and dust bunnies, and even a mouse that had escaped Chester's notice, but no Chester. Sasha's dad looked in the kitchen cabinets, but no Chester.

Suddenly ---

"I found him!" Sasha cried.

Chester was inside her mom's new glass vase, and he didn't look happy at all. Even his whiskers（须）looked sad. Sasha tipped the vase over gently and tried to pull him out, but Chester just yowled（惨叫）.

"We'll have to break the vase to get him out!" Sasha cried.

Now her mom didn't look happy. It was a beautiful vase, clear glass with blue and green swirls.

"No," said her dad. "If we break it, the glass shards（碎片）might hurt Chester. Maybe we can put butter on the inside of the vase and slide him out, like the time you got that ring stuck on your finger."

Paragraph 1: Sasha's mom buttered as much of the inside of the vase as she could reach.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Soon they were at the vet's（兽医）office with an annoyed, frightened and buttery cat in a vase.
