| Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5?30,and at 6?30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba. "Hey,Sheba," she said, "I"ve got no time for you now, but I"ll take you out as soon as I get back from the tennis club." Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医)． When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office. "Listen, doctor, I"m really in a rush to get to a meeting, can I leave her with you,and go to get changed? I"ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I"ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?" "Sure." said the doctor. Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring. "This is Dr. Sterne," said an anxious voice. "I want you to get out of that house immediately," said the doctor"s voice. "I"m coming round to right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!" At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived. "Where"s Sheba? Is she OK?" shouted Joanne. "She"s fine,Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her,and she"s OK now." Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, carrying a whitefaced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him. "My God," said Joanne, "how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?" "I think he must be a burglar." said the doctor. "I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba"s throat, it turned out to be three human fingers." | ||||||||||||||||

| When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad"s office. "What are you doing home?" I asked _1_. "Andrew, I was 2 today,"he answered quietly. I was sure he was joking."No, you weren"t. Why are you really home?" Then I noticed his 3 and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and 4 himself on his career. 5 for our family has been his job, and I guess I had taken his work 6 . My father"s unemployment created many changes in our life. For starters, he was home all the time, 7 meant my bed had to be made, my room 8 , and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer 9 jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, though he tried to be 10 . For the first time, I saw my dad as the vulnerable(易受伤害的). I 11 my allowance(零用钱), even though it wasn"t much; I felt like the right thing to do. I 12 found a parttime job. After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He 13 that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. One evening I asked if he needed help. " 14 it doesn"t interfere (妨碍) with your study," he said. I 15 at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him 16 really impacted me. 17 this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity (逆境). Now I know that through 18 problemsolving, I can always find Plan B to ask for help, and take risks. 19 I have learned from my dad"s understanding of business and his work ethic are two of the most important lessons in my life, and will be my 20 for success. | ||||||||||||||||
