He looked up at me meowing pitifully. A car must have hit it so it wasnt able to move. I stopped my car and

9、 carried the cat in and went on driving.At the nearest vet(兽医)clinic, the vet gently examined it. “He is about eight months old and has two broken legs, but I would need X-rays to know how serious the damage is,” he told me. “ As hes not your cat, I dont know if you want to go ahead with this. It co

10、uld be rather expensive. I knew it would cost me hundreds of dollars, but I agreed with his advice. The following morning the vet rang to say the X-rays confirmed two bad breaks in his legs. “ Ill operate on his legs and put metal pins in them to keep them fixed,” he told me.That afternoon I went to

11、 pick up my little friend. There I could hardly recognize him. His previously dirty fur was now a beautiful silver gray. His front legs were in two casts and he lay there looking at me, purring(发咕噜声)happily.I thanked the doctor and went out to pay the bill. “ I think youve given me the wrong account

12、,” I said to the clerk. “ This is only $85. Hes had X-rays and an operation on his legs. “ No, thats right,” she replied. “ The vet has only charged you for the medication. Theres a message on the bottom.” Written under the total were the words “ SPECIAL RATE（费用）FOR ADOPTIONS(收养)”. I was speechless

13、at his kind and generous gesture. I paid the account and under his message I wrote “ WITH GRATEFUL THANKS, CAT AND MUM.” 21. Why didnt the vet give the cat X-rays immediately?A. The damage was not serious at allB. The cat was too young to be X-rayedC. The doctor wasnt sure whether the author would l

16、of the text?A. The Adventure of a Cat B. An Impressive (印象深刻的)Vet C. An Unforgettable Night D. Love in Relays（接力）B I really hadnt meant to shout at them. But that gray afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen. With a tiresome report to writ

17、e, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly , it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly. “OK, you two here, what an awful thing you are attempting!” I was shouting angrily. I made for them , while it became obvious that the boy wanted no part of

18、 me. “Get away from us!” he shouted back and there was an expression of support from his sister.All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers and crawled (爬)towards them, “Fierce Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to shout at children, and then eat them!” My s

19、on continued to keep me away. But now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My mission(任务,目标)to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming(责备)? This

20、 is a lesson that serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility) by blaming others. Its not my “best self”.We have to search for our “best self” when we are with our children. They dont need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying

21、 to get better. Here, I am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “ When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book .” Then, in our lifetime, couldnt we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world

If youve answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety.Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life. Anxiety is your brains way of telling you about danger.

36、 better job chances in larger cities. Gradually nuclear families are often seen in society, but there also appears the immediate family, with either the mother or the father living with the children because of divorce(离婚). Another variation is the mixed family, the result of a marriage between a pre

37、viously(先前，以往) married man and woman who combine the children from their former marriages into a new family.Since the 1950s and 1960s, a trend（趋势）that has appeared is the sharing of children-care responsibilities between husband and wife. More and more women are working outside the home. Around 70 p
