Being a veterinarian(兽医), I had to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their boy Shane, loved Belker very much.
I examined Belker and found him (die) of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia(安乐死) procedure in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought would be good for six-year-old Shane to watch. They felt Shane might learn something.
The next day, Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting(拍) the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood was happening. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped (peaceful) away.
The little boy seemed to accept it without any difficulty. We sat together after Belker's death, (wonder) why animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, having listened quietly, said, “I know .”
(surprise), we all turned to him. What he said next amazed me. It has changed my life.
He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live good life—like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?”
The six-year-old boy continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, they don't have to stay as long.”
流凌的黄河
单振国
站在数九寒天的黄土高原上,站在大雪纷飞的穹宇下,我看黄河。黄河,像一条蜿蜒浩荡的银色巨龙,正静静地、静静地流动着,在雪花无声无息里流动,在冰凌悠悠漂浮中流动。
没有浮躁的喧哗,没有烦嚣的不安,没有轻薄的浪花,甚至连一点儿脚步声都没有。有的,只是雄浑磅礴的气势,泰然自若的风骨,沉着稳健的向前,战胜一切的自信!
满河满河的冰凌,一块又一块,或大或小、或薄或厚,挤挤挨挨、满满当当,镶着深冬的凛冽,披着大雪的晶莹。铺天盖地,浩浩荡荡。冷流暗卷,冰水回湍。深不可测,清冽无底。没有鸟鸣虫吟、红尘碎语,没有争锋斗狠、狂放泼野,唯有静静地流动。漂浮着满河满河浩阔壮观的北方冬天。满河的冬天在满河冰凌如朵朵莲花般的簇拥中,仿佛停止了季节呼吸,收敛起三九风霜,好像是一条蛰伏入眠的巨龙。
啊,雪落黄河静无声。
静无声的黄河蓄积着体能,储存着力量,淬炼着胆魄,又慢慢苏醒,慢慢在蛰伏中蠕动,一直向前蠕动。恍然,唰地彻底醒来,鼓起排山倒海般巨大膂力,腾空飞旋,以四两拨千斤的手臂,轻轻一揽,迅疾带走一大堆一大堆企图阻遏她前进的冰坝。这不,远远地,咔嚓一声,犹如霹雳横空、巨崖崩塌,令人惊心动魄、寒毛悚立。严寒精心高垒起的一座冰山訇然碎裂,没入宽阔深邃的河水中。冬天顷刻惊飞四散,朔风黯然销声匿迹,一切的寒冷已不叫凛冽的寒冷,所有的冬天不再喧哗自己是冬天。唯有流凌的黄河,包容天地,包容山川,包容冷暖,包容这壁立千仞的晋陕峡谷,再一次沉浸在那空悬高天的沉沉静默中。
雪是越下越大,白花花的,一朵一朵飘着,漫天漫地,稠稠密密。雪吞咽着山川村落、烟火人间,吞咽着高原大地、日月星辰,仿佛把整个北方的冬天都吞咽到她茫茫的白幕之中。但她吞咽不了黄河,黄河依然静悄悄地、稳如泰山地流动着。站在高原的更高处看流凌的黄河,又像是一条从天而落的银河,舒缓而下,连接天地。河,睡在天堂之上,天幕混沌、天界迷茫、天地一色,唯有梦是那样亘古遥远、瑰丽雄浑,那样多彩缤纷、近在眼前,只轻轻地飘浮在纷纷扬扬的雪花中,向着无尽的远方。
晋陕峡谷,犹如大地哗啦扯开的胸膛,在白花花的雪野里,大幅油画般铺开,铺成雪原莽莽、雪峰巍巍的浩大背景,黄河被衬托得更加气势磅礴。看吧!大河上下,好一派雄浑壮观的景象。此刻,任何华美的辞藻,都没有力量嵌进这天地无声却令人心海咆哮的壮丽诗章中;任何高亢的赞美,都显得是那么的苍白微弱、轻如飞羽。只有流凌的黄河,在无声无息中永恒汇聚着、充盈着、释放着排山倒海的力量,凛然高耸起不可欺、不可辱、不可侵的血气,昂然高扬出战胜一切阻遏、一切对手的霸气,一往无前,势不可挡!
看,流凌的黄河,我瞬间强大、瞬间雄起,生活中所有的艰难险阻、荣辱得失、恩怨不平,竟然轻盈得像一绺飞散的冷雾,在黄河吞越天地冰霜的宏大气势中,沧海一粟般飞进这流凌的河水中,无影无踪,无声无息。此时此刻,灵魂骤然震颤,心海更加咆哮,仿佛站在黄河与高原交响曲那最震撼天地的音符上,由不得要往远看、往大看。我想,在这个蓝色的星球上,被这样一条裹挟着黄土,磅礴浩荡、摧枯拉朽、势不可挡的大河哺育的民族,一定有着与她同样的优秀基因,同样的精神力量和胆魂气魄!我分明一下子看到了中华民族五千年自强不息、不屈不挠、勇往直前、敢于争胜的始祖精神。我敬仰黄河,虔诚地跪在黄河冰冻铁硬的滩头,深深地磕了一个响头。
就在我抬头的刹那,太阳拨破云海,红彤彤、圆润润、热腾腾的,带着新的春天的勃勃生机,在流动的冰凌上折射出万道金光。远远望去,寥廓的黄河滩上,飞起一圈又一圈绚丽耀眼的彩虹!

Dear Dad,
On this date of your 50th birthday, Mom gave me the letter you wrote me when I was born 18 years ago. In your letter, you (wish) me to be strong-minded and successful. You were looking forward to (see) me fight for my future bravely and do well for myself and others.
After reading this letter, I feel quite (shock) at your expectation on me. I also feel shamed for not having performed well to meet your demand. I still remember when I was in primary school, I failed (apply) myself to studying. I was addicted computer games. As a consequence, I soon became the last one in my class. You didn't abuse me at all. On the contrary, you taught me that studying was most important object at the moment and encouraged me to study hard. Only when I have read your letter did I realize that I behaved so (bad) at that time.
I can't help (express) my gratitude and sending my best wishes to you. Wish you health and (happy). I promise that I will spare no effort to satisfy your demand of being a brave and (success) person.
If you can find a tree which has been cut down,you will see many rings,or circles,on the base of the trunk.By learning to read these rings,you can find out about the tree's life.
The number of rings tells you how old the tree is.Each year,new wood is formed on the outside of the tree.This new wood is light in color when the tree is growing in spring and summer,and dark in winter when the tree is not growing much.So,if you count the rings of darkorlight colored wood,you can often find out how old the tree is.
You can also tell which years have been good years and which years have been bad years.When the lightcolored rings are very wide,it means that the tree has been growing quickly that year.If the rings are narrow,it has been growing slowly.If the rings on a tree trunk were greatly magnified,you would be able to see why the rings are lightcolored when the tree is growing quickly and darkcolored when the tree is growing slowly.The tree trunk is made up of microscopic tubes,like some pipes,carrying water from the soil,through the trunk,and up to the leaves.They are wide and thinwalled when the tree is growing quickly and they are carrying a lot of water.They are narrow and stuck together when the tree is not growing so quickly.
When a tree is old,the tubes in the centre of the tree don't carry water.The walls of the tubes have become thick with materials which have stuck along them over the years,forming a kind of wood called“heartwood”.This kind of wood is darker in color than the young,growing wood on the outside of the tree.
You don't very often see whole tree trunks which have been cut across.But once you learn to read a cross section of the wood,you can see much more in wood which has been used to make boxes,houses and other things.
In most wood,instead of seeing the trunk cut across,you are seeing it cut along its length.Because you don't see the whole tree,you can't tell how old it is.

I'm a 17-year-old senior student from China. While surfed the Internet, I have found that your organization will hold a summer camp in Singapore. With greatly interest, I'd like to apply for them. I'm an outgoing girl who like communicating with others. I could speak English well. My written English is excellent, either. I wish to join in the activities. For one thing, I'm willing to introduce China to other students from all over world; for another, I expect to learn from more about other countries. In addition, I'd like to make friend. The chance is so precious as I'm really looking forward to your approval.
