As a vet, I have often felt helpless to comfort the sad owners whose pets are very ill and going to die. That was _____ I met Shane.

I had been called to _____ a ten­year­old dog named Belker who had cancer(癌症). The dog's owners, Steven and Mary, were very _____. So was their little boy, Shane. I told the family we couldn't do _____ for Belker, and offered the euthanasia(安乐死) for the old dog in their home. As we made the final _____， the parents told me it would be good for the ten­year­old Shane to see the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something _____ the experience.

The next day, I felt a catch in my throat as Belker's family were around him. Shane seemed so calm, _____ the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.

A few minutes later, Belker died _____. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without any difficulty. We sat together and talked about why animal lives are _____ than human lives. Shane, who was listening quietly, suddenly said, “I know why.” Shocked, we all ______ him and were surprised at what he had said.

“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right？” He continued, “Well, dogs already know ______ to do that, so they don't have to stay as long as human beings.” It was　 the best way I have ever heard.

●Run, ______， and play happily.

●When loved ones come home, always run to meet ______.

●When someone is having a ______ day, be silent(沉默的), sit close by him.

Hot Pot(火锅) and Hotpot

I'm learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people's favorite food, including(包括) me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, how excited I was to know that there was going to　 be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen,_I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air.

To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?

With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.

Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.

Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!
