    A Seeing Eye dog is very special. One1thing about having a Seeing Eye dog is that you can go anywhere in the city safely.

    I live in Barcelona, Spain. It's a big2, and there are many cars, but my dog Terra goes everywhere3me and doesn't let me get hit by a car. Terra also guides me to walk safely in the subway.

    I have a baby boy, so another good thing is that my dog watches out for4 , too. I can put the baby in his stroller, and Terra makes sure we are5okay. I have had Terra for ten years, and I'm happy to have it.

    Once a gentleman was traveling in a train. He felt 1 and got down at a station to look for some water. But when he got to the water tap, the train had started. He ran back but 2 the train.

    It was getting late and he decided to spend the night at the station. The next morning he asked about the next 3. He came to know that the next train was on the other day. So he decided to find a place for a day's stay. It was getting 4 and he could not find a place near the station.

    At last he reached a small village. He asked a villager 5 he could stay in his house for a night. The villager agreed. The villager cooked him food and 6 him a room to stay. But he did not ask for anything in return.

    At seven in the evening, the gentleman heard a knock at the door. The villager opened the door. It was a7 man in black. He asked the man to pay his debts (债务).

    The next morning, the gentleman 8 some money on the bed. When the villager found the money, he also found a note. It said: "You 9 me but didn't want any pay from me.

    Yesterday I heard the conversation between you and the rich man. I knew that you were in need of 7  10. This is what you need."

    There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy son. The businessman wanted his son to realize the value of labor.

    One day, he told his son, "Today, I want you to earn something. If you fail, you won't have your meal tonight."

    The boy didn't want to find a job, so he asked his mother for help. She gave him a gold coin. In the evening, when the father asked his son what he had earned, the son showed him the gold coin. The father then asked him to throw it into the well (水井). The son did as he was told.

    The father guessed that the gold was from the boy's mother. The next day, he sent his wife to her parents' home and asked his son to earn something. Since no one helped him, the son had to go to the market to look for a job. A shopkeeper told him that he would pay him a coin if he carried heavy tools for him. The son accepted. As he returned home and gave the coin to his father, he was asked to throw it into the well. The boy cried, "Dad! My body is aching. I'm tired. How are you asking me to throw my hard-carned coin into a well?"

    The businessman smiled. He told his son that one feels pain only when the fruits of labor are wasted. The son realized the value of hard work. He promised not to be lazy any more.

    People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.

    Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

    Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

    Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

    Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.

    With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.

    Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.

    In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

    The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

    Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18 ℃, people become stronger.

    Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a "good weather" for health. People feel best at a temperature of about I8℃.

    Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.
