Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love. I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.
It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging(挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.
When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!

Health, wealth and happiness are the three things people frequently(频繁地) talk about. To these three topics different people may have different views. Some people assume(假设) that wealth is the most important part in their lives for it can bring them happiness.
It is true that both wealth and health can bring happiness to people, but they do not always go hand in hand with happiness. To get wealth, some people may become pickpockets(扒手) to steal money or robbers to grab(夺取) others’ belongings, which will hurt themselves instead of bringing them happiness. On the other hand, it does not mean that a person with a strong body would surely enjoy happiness because of being healthy alone.
However, happiness is a feeling of pleasure and contentment(满足). This feeling encourages people to work hard and make success still more successful. It also makes people happier. With this feeling, a person in poor health may get over his illness sooner and better with the help of doctors. As happiness always brings hope to people, Let’s develop a healthy outlook and keep a pleasant heart.

D. Because he doesn’t steal others’ belongings.
( ) 6. What can help people improve themselves

When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you’re older. “Brave New Girls”, by American author Jean Gadeberg, will help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident, healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You must only do what you want. If you always wear clothes like your favourite TV star, you must stop doing so. Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don’t, you will not take good care of it and won’t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys. In fact you are. Just look at their grades! Only then can you realize your dreams and become who you want to be.
