For at least ten years my had been suggesting that we get a dog．There were several reasons why the idea . We had noticed that, on our block, couples with no children as a rule one large or two small dogs. So we got one puppy we too had no children.

From that day on, the invisible(看不见的) for the love of the new member of our household began at my home.
He seemed to that at once. Most of the meals that my wife had for him with greater care than those for me…he didn’t look at.
Every evening I went out walking with him. I could not know who was walking whom one evening, when, tired from work, I the walk. The dog was very angry and dragged me out.
Last night our dog pulled me by the ear with his teeth, me up in my dream, and dragged me into the kitchen to make me turn off the which had disturbed(干扰) his sleep. I meekly(乖乖地) that I had forgotten to switch off the light, but that was not . He looked at me like a teacher at a pupil who repeatedly makes .
Now we finally know who’s the at home, and for twenty years we had seriously argued whether it was my wife or I.

[详细]举一反三
When Julio Diaz stepped off the subway after work one night, he was simply planning to go to his favorite local diner for a meal. But when a teenage boy approached him with a knife, Diaz knew the evening was about to take a more dramatic(巨大而突然的) turn.
The young man demanded Diaz’s wallet, and Diaz passed it over without objection(异议). But just as he turned to walk away, Diaz called, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something.”
The young man turned around, surprised.
“If you’re going to rob people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep warm.”
The teenager looked at Diaz in disbelief, and asked why he would do such a thing. Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, I guess you must really need the money.”He said he was heading out for dinner, and that he would be happy to take someone with him.
The young man decided to take Diaz up on his offer. As they were sitting at the table, the manager, dishwashers and waiters all stopped over to say hello to Diaz, and the young man was amazed at his popularity.
“Haven’t you been taught that you should be nice to everybody?”Diaz asked him.
“Yeah, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teenager replied. Thanks to Diaz, he was beginning to see that kindness wasn’t so strange, after all.
When the bill came, Diaz told the teen that he’d have to get the check. After all, he still had Diaz’s wallet.
But the teenager put the wallet on the table without a moment’s thought, and Diaz treated him to dinner. Diaz also gave the would-be robber a $20 bill — in exchange for his knife. “I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right,” Diaz said.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old, have patience and try to understand me. If I get when eating, if I can not dress, have patience. Remember the hours I spent it to you. If, I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not me. Listen to me . When you were small, I had to read thousand and one times the story until you get to sleep. When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my on new technologies, give me the necessary time and not me by mocking smiles. I taught you how to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to life. . . When at some moment I lose the in conversation with you, do not become annoyed, as the most important thing is not my but surely to be with you and to you listening to me. When my legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand, the same way I when you gave your first steps. And when someday I say I do not want to live any more and that I want to die, do not get angry. Try to understand that my age is not lived but .
Some day you will discover that, my mistakes, I always wanted the thing for you and tried to prepare the way for you. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, son!

I’m a straight-A student and have been my whole life. When you come from a family of educators, it just seems .
With high academic standards and a competitive , I don’t just like losing and I also can’t it. I need to beat the students, perfectly in everything. I’ve even gone so far as to define myself by my , saying how outstanding I am. If I don’t get the grade I then I am lost.
Today I was sitting in class trying to the last minutes studying for a test in which I had to get full marks. the girl behind me started talking to me, I tried to listen while still glancing at my study sheet . When I thought the conversation required it, I smiled, nodded and . And then I found myself wishing she would be so I could study. After a while, she said, “You know, you’re a really good . You’re so easy to talk to. ”I froze.
I replayed the praise in my head before smiling and accepting it . But inside, I knew it wasn’t true. She’d made every effort to have a conversation and I wasn’t even trying to .
I passed the test excellently despite my of lost study time, but the one thing I needed to learn most wasn’t on that test. I had being the best student so that I had failed at just being normal. So what to me most? What I have is all about my personal and about me being too self-centered. There can only be so many scholars, but there is enough sympathy. I want that to be what matters to me—sympathy.
