I never wanted a dog, but now I'm so glad I have one.
About two years ago my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named her Gertie. Gertie is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I decided that the dog would be trained. This didn't quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Pet smart Training School. She spent every night lying in our bed —snoring（打鼾）so loudly that I hardly got a good night's sleep.
Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place,
and I was unable to stop it. My behavior began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them in a street. I started calling my kids and, to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I was even glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing.
My wife and I both agree that it is Gertie who has changed my behavior.
Gertie is now nearly two years old and almost fully grown. I have come to like the pet little by little, though she is my wife's dog.

It was the last day of the final examination in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence.
They knew the exam would be easy. The professor （教授）had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.
Right after they came into the classroom, the professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.
Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, "How many of you have completed all five questions?" No hand was raised. "How many of you have answered four?" Still no hands. "Three? Two?" The students moved restlessly in their seats. "One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one." But the class kept silent. The professor said, "That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice." Then, smiling, he added, "You will all pass this course, but remember, your education has just begun."
