Mr. Lang worked in a factory. As a driver he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博)and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and hardly forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didn’t listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was nearly sent away. After he came out of lock-up(拘留所), he hated her very much and the woman had to leave him. It was New Year’s Day. Mr. Lang didn’t go to work. He felt lonely and wanted to gamble again. He called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his five-year-old son to go to find out if there were the policemen outside. They waited for a long time and didn’t think the police would come and began to gamble. Suddenly a few policemen opened the door and came in.
“I saw there weren’t any policemen outside, Daddy” said the boy “So I went to the crossing and asked some to come.”

Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter. As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Many forests are badly damaged by fire each year. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. We were in a heat wave which had been 31 for three days.
Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible 32 .I no longer had any hope that Lulu would come back to the shelter.In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his 33 in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my shelter and informed me that my dog Lulu had 34 to save four kittens(小猫) who were trapped by the flames.According to the fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe place.I immediately accompanied(陪同) the fireman to the forest to 35 the rescued kittens.When we arrived 36 the scene of the incident, we found Lulu was not there. Then we heard the 37 of a dog from the forest barking furiously (猛烈地). I recognized it was my dog Lulu.The fireman followed the tracks of the dog until we found him barking 38 by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately(绝望地) waiting for rescue.Thanks to Lulu, four kittens and a fireman were saved.
That day, I was very proud of Lulu for his two heroic(英雄的) 39 toward the kittens and the fireman.Lulu showed much compassion (同情) for both animals like him and for a human being who was trying to 40 the fire with his colleagues(同事).
This true story of genuine(真的) love and compassion shows us that pets are loving, caring and considerate(考虑周到的).We should love and protect them.One day they could do us a good turn.
