     At eighteen, I left my home and studied history at Leeds University in England. It was a hard time in my
   1 as I was learning to deal with the pain of my father"s recent death.
     One day at the market, I saw an elderly gentleman having difficulty holding onto both his walking stick
and his bag of apples. I rushed over and   2   him.
     "Thanks. Don"t worry, I"m quite all right now," he said, smiling at me with a pair of bright eyes.
    "May I walk with you?" I asked and so began my friendship with Mr Burns, a man whose   3   and warmth
very soon came to mean a great deal to me.
     When we arrived at his house, I insisted on helping him prepare for his meal and asked if it would be all
right if I came back again. I thought I should help him. With a smile he replied, "I"ve never been one to   4   an
offer from a kind-hearted girl."
     I visited Mr Bums twice a week, always on the same days and at the same time. I told Mr Bums how
regretful I felt about being   5   with my father two weeks before his death.
     After about a month, when I went to his house at a different time, I saw him working in his garden, moving
around   6 . I was very surprised.
     "How?" I began, "I thought…"
     "I know what you thought. When you first saw me at the market, I hurt my ankle earlier that day."
     "But…when were you able to   7   normally again?"
     "Ah, not long after our first meeting."
     "But   8 ?" Iasked.
     "When you came around for the second time, I saw how unhappy you were, feeling   9   and sad. I knew
you were telling yourself that you were visiting me for my sake and not your own. I didn"t think you would
come back if you knew I was  10 , and I knew you really" needed someone to talk to, and someone who knew
how to  11 ."
     Mr Bums, the man I"d set out to help, helped me. He gave the gift of his time and kindness to a young girl
who needed  12 .

     On a rubbish run to work, I was greeted with a sight that made me both sad and angry. On the top of the
pile (堆) of rubbish sat a small dog. He was too high up to get down,and there was no way that he could have
climbed up by himself. He had been thrown out with the rubbish by some sick-minded person.
     I took him back to my workplace and then home with me. I didn"t want to take him to the lost animal
society. However, later that evening, my boss heard that someone had lost their dog and gave them my
number. I was very surprised when the dog"s owner phoned me.
     She came straight over to fetch him and was very thankful for what I"d done. The dog was sitting on an
electric blanket (毯子) happily playing with a ball when she arrived.
     Maybe she"d been putting her rubbish into bags and had left one on the floor. The little dog had jumped
in there,and without realizing where he was, she"d tied the bag and dropped it off at the collection point.
Luckily, he was able to find his way out somehow, and had found himself high up.
     It made me feel very silly for jumping to such a wrong conclusion. It was obvious (明显的) that she
loved her dog very much, and I felt sorry for what I"d been thinking about its owner all afternoon.
     Now I"m never sure that something happened in a certain way, no matter how obvious it appears. And
when I hear people drawing a conclusion without the facts, I tell them about the dog on the rubbish pile.

1. How did the dog come to the rubbish pile probably?

A. He was thrown there by his owner.
B. He climbed there on his own.
C. He was driven there by someone.
D. He followed the writer there.

2. The writer brought the dog home because _______.

A. she didn"t know whose he was
B. she was waiting for the owner
C. she wanted to keep him home
D. she"d like to give him to the boss

3. What is the best conclusion we can draw from the story?

A. Everyone takes pity on lost animals.
B. There are really sick-minded people.
C. We should correct mistakes in time.
D. Facts must come before conclusions.

     It all started a year before when my daughter Suzanne and I were shopping in Sydney. In the window of
a sports shop I noticed a photo of a group of young people climbing the rock   1   in a canyon (峡谷). "That"s
what I"m going to do next   2  ," I said. Suzanne laughed. "Sure, Mum! Don"t forget you"re 65 years old!"
     I didn"t feel I was that age! I   3 a club and trained weekly. Each day I felt my physical energy   4   and,
along with it, my confidence (信心). Then Suzanne pointed out, "Ws good, but how can you clear away
the   5   of height?" "I"ve got it all worked out," I replied bravely. "We"re going to the indoor climbing centre."
     While I was going up the high wall, I was afraid to look down as if a terrible animal was after me. Some
time later, as I reached the ground, I sat down   6 on the floor. Later that night, as I lay in bed, I encouraged
myself, "You had climbed the wall! You will certainly make it!"
    We set off with our packages to the Grand Canyon. When we reached it, I found the canyon was a huge
black hole-far   7   than I had imagined. As the guide clipped (夹住) me onto the rope, my heart   8   double-time
and I wondered why I had got myself into this. Time lost all meaning   9 I pushed my body forward. Only
the strong rope kept me from  10  hope. I began to think it would never end when everyone had stopped. "This
is as far as we go, and we can climb out after a few steps," the guide said finally. Two and a half hours later,
we returned to the car park at last. I began to shake, one hard step after another.
     Getting onto the bus, I  11  into the seat I had left so confidently a lifetime before. Then, while I was in the
seat catching my breath, a feeling of great happiness spread  12  me. I had done it, at 66 years of age.
