Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(寶貴的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires(百萬(wàn)富翁）. True friendship can’t be bought, either. In a word，where money is worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have，it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for.

Today, there are many problems between parents and children. Many people always ask, “why do we often argue(爭(zhēng)論)?”

Parents show their love for their children in different ways. They cook nice food, buy new clothes for them. They also care about their studies. Parents always say “You must work hard.” “You should do your homework，” “Why not prepare for your exam?”

When children get bad marks, their parents get very angry. They often stop their children from watching TV, playing computer games or even going outside until they are good at their studies.

Why? Most families have only one child. The child is the hope of the family, and they want the child to be the best.

Many children want to do things themselves. They want to do many unusual things that their parents dislike. They sing pop songs, listen to the QQ music and do something new. They enjoy surfing the Internet and playing QQ games. They spend a lot of time chatting online. In their parents’ eyes, these are a waste of time. For these reasons, parents and children often argue.

Today, there are more than 100 kinds of dogs in the world. Many people like to have dogs as their pets. Dogs are friends of man because they are lovely and they are faithful(忠誠(chéng)的) to their masters.

Dogs can do a lot of work for man. They play with us. They hunt with us. They also keep door for us. But long ago，dogs all over the world were wild（野生的）.

All dogs have the same ancestor（祖先）．People believe that a dog's ancestor may be a wolf .Other animals, such as the fox, came from this ancestor, too. Millions of years ago, man began to feed and train wild dogs. The strong dogs became working animals.Working dogs had many kinds of jobs. They could help people to pull heavy things. They learned to keep an eye on the sheep and other small animals. They could help people in the war（戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)). Some dogs were not strong. But they could help man hunt. Other dogs were the best as pets.

As a vet, I have often felt helpless to comfort the sad owners whose pets are very ill and going to die. That was _____ I met Shane.

I had been called to _____ a ten?year?old dog named Belker who had cancer(癌癥). The dog's owners, Steven and Mary, were very _____. So was their little boy, Shane. I told the family we couldn't do _____ for Belker, and offered the euthanasia(安樂(lè)死) for the old dog in their home. As we made the final _____， the parents told me it would be good for the ten?year?old Shane to see the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something _____ the experience.

The next day, I felt a catch in my throat as Belker's family were around him. Shane seemed so calm, _____ the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.

A few minutes later, Belker died _____. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without any difficulty. We sat together and talked about why animal lives are _____ than human lives. Shane, who was listening quietly, suddenly said, “I know why.” Shocked, we all ______ him and were surprised at what he had said.

“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right？” He continued, “Well, dogs already know ______ to do that, so they don't have to stay as long as human beings.” It was the best way I have ever heard.

Shane makes me realize that a dog is the teacher for people. We will learn things like:

Li Lei, Beijing

Gina, New York

I went to the countryside with my family and stayed there for about two weeks. The air there was nice and clean. Every day, we fed the chickens, milked the cows, played with the dogs and went fishing. We enjoyed ourselves very much. We expected to go there again.

Hot Pot(火鍋) and Hotpot

I'm learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people's favorite food, including(包括) me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, how excited I was to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen,_I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air.

To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?

With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.

Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.

Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!
