My best friend is Cocoa, and I live in a senior-citizen apartment. Cocoa is a ten-year-old dog and I am a sixty-nine-year-old lady, so you can see we both qualify as   1  citizens.
He is a   2  companion. He does many amusing things that make me   3 , and when that happens, he is so delighted   4  he just keeps it up.
But one afternoon, Cocoa started acting strangely. I was sitting on the floor playing with him,   5  he started pawing and smelling at the right side of my   6 . He had never done anything like this ever before, and I told him, “No.” To Cocoa, one “no” is usually   7 , but not that day. He stopped briefly, and then   8  ran toward me, throwing his entire weight at the right side of my chest. He crashed into me and I cried in   9 , falling down to the floor. Soon after this, I felt a lump (肿块). I went to my doctors, and after X-rays  10  and lab work were done, they told me I had cancer.
When cancer starts, a  11  of calcium (钙) builds. Then the lump or cancer attaches itself to this wall. When Cocoa jumped on me, the force of the impact broke the lump away from the wall. This made it possible for me to  12  the lump.
I had a complete mastectomy (乳房切除术) and the cancer has not   13  to any other part of my body. The doctors told me if the cancer had gone undetected even six more months, it would have been too   14 .
Was Cocoa  15  of just what he was doing? I’ll never really know. What I do know is that Cocoa not only shares his life with me, he has also made sure that I will be around to share my life with him!

A great French writer said that we should help everyone as much as possible because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. To this effect, he tells a simple story. 
An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried hard to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant, almost tired out, was still bravely doing her best when a bird saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade (叶片) of grass, which supported her like a boat, and thus she reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass she heard a man coming near. He was walking along barefooted and carrying a gun in his hand. As he saw the bird he wished to kill her, and he would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just before he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the bird immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life. 
小题1: According to the French writer, we often need help from others, therefore we should________.

When asked about the secret of their success, she said, "Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters."

Curry observed that most parents try to protect their kids from failure, but the Santonastassos didn’t do that with Nick.

“ It builds self-confidence in yourself to try it again,” Nick added.
Recently, Nick entered a drawing in a statewide contest in New Jersey. His drawing was a tree with a spreading canopy (树冠) and deep toots. Above the tree were the words, “The roots of a family are…” Below the ground, the roots spelled out the final word for the message: “ Love.”
