Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named “Lucky”．Whenever Mary and Jim had friends come for a weekend visit，they would warn their friends not to leave their luggage open because Lucky would steal something from their luggage and he always hid his finds in his toy box in the basement.
It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer.She felt she was going to die of this disease.The night before she was to go to the hospital，a thought struck her，“What would happen to Lucky？” “If I die，who will look after Lucky？” Mary thought.The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.
Mary stayed in the hospital for two weeks.Jim took Lucky for his evening walk every day，but the little dog just looked sad and miserable.
Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital.When she arrived home，Mary was so tired that she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom.Jim made his wife comfortable on the bed and left her to sleep.
Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called.It made Mary sad.But she felt so sleepy that soon she fell asleep.
When Mary woke，for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong.She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy.But panic(惊慌) soon gave way when Mary realized the problem.She was enclothed with a blanket，and with every treasure Lucky owned!
While she had slept，the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved hostess all his favorite things.He had covered her with his love.
It's been 12 years now and Mary is still living.Lucky? He still steals treasures and hides them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.
Mother Teresa was born on August 26th,1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. She always wrote her birthday as 27th of August because it was the day of her baptism(洗礼), which was always more important to her than her birthday. For her work with the poor around the world, she received the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.
In 1928, she accepted a religious order and took the name Teresa. The order immediately sent her to India. A few years later, she began teaching in Calcutta. In 1948 the Catholic(天主教的) Church agreed her request and let her enter the convent( 女修道院) and she began to work for the poor people. She became an Indian citizen in the following year. In 1950, she set up a religious organization in Calcutta. The organization provided food for the poor people and then she set up hospitals, schools, youth centers, and homes for the sick and the dying poor. It now has branches in 50 Indian cities and 30 other countries.
Besides the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa has received other awards for her work with the poor people. On September 5th,1997, Mother Teresa passed away, but she will continue to inspire people all over the world through her lasting present of love and faith.

I asked Jack, a friend of mine, what has happened to him that night. He said that he had just got into bed on about half past eleven when the floor began to shake under him. The bed was also started shaking. He jumped out of his bed rapid and wanted to turn the light on. But the floor was shaking such violently that he could hardly reach the lamp. It seemed to take him long time to get to it and turned it on. Then he went to look out of the window. He saw that the houses on the other side of the street was also shaking. Then he knew that was happening — an earthquake! He quickly put on his clothes and ran out into the street to waiting until it was safe to go back inside.

One evening two German were walking in the street together. They tried to find a chance steal something. The clock struck 12. Most of the people had going to bed. Quietly they came to a house. There were no lights in the house but it seemed that everyone in the house were asleep. Standing at the front gate, one said in German to the another, "You wait here. I'll go around to the back door and then get into the house..." Suddenly out of the house ran a dog. The two men were frightening and ran away as fast as they can. They dared not to stop until they got to a lonely place "I hadn't expecting the dog could understand German," one man said.
