9．Luke has always been my closest companion these past five years．He doesn't feel jealous when I am taking care of other animals in our shelter．In fact，he（26）Chelps me．
    As you know，there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season，（27）Amany forests badly each year．Not far from our shelter，a（28）Bcaught fire in July
    Luke rushed towards the forest where flames sent out incredible heat．Twenty minutes later，I felt there was no longer any（29）Awaiting for Luke to come back．In fact，I was waiting for the firemen to tell me he had（30）Din the forest．Suddenly，a fireman burst into my office and（31）Bme that my dog Luke had saved four kittens（32）Cby the flames．According to the fireman．Luke moved the kittens one by one to a（33）Dplace．
    I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to pick up the kittens．（34）AI arrived at the scene of the incident．Luke was not there．Then we heard the loud（35）Dof a dog come from the forest．I （36）Cit was from my dog Luke．The firemen followed his tracks（37）Cthey found him barking loudly by the side of a（n）（38）Bfireman who was lying on the ground．
    Thanks to Luke，four kittens and a fireman were （39）A．I was very proud of Luke for his （40）Dactions．Luke showed much kindness for both animals like him and for a human being who was trying to put out the fire．Truly，my happiness is（41）Bmeasure．
    I（42）Bthe fireman along with．Luke．What a memorable scene when the fireman（43）DLuke tightly to his chest!"One thousand thanks，Luke，for saving my life，"the fireman said．
    This true story shows us that pets are able to show love and（44）Cfor others．We should love and protect them and not look down upon them．Little animals can do（45）Athings to help humans．

3．One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue （41）D I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks．Why I wished to buy only one pair is （42）B．I turned into the first sock shop that （43）B  my eye，and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward．"What can I do for you，sir？""I wish to buy a pair of socks．"His eyes were （44）B．There was a （an） （45）Aof excitement in his voice．"Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks？"I had not been aware of that，as I entered the shop （46）C．"Come with me，"said the boy，excitedly．I followed him to the back part of the shop，and he began to take down from the shelves box after box，（47）B their contents for my enjoyment．"Hold on，young man，I am going to buy only one pair!""I know that，"said he，"but I want you to see how beautiful these are．Aren't they wonderful？"There was on his face an expression of pleasure，as if he were （48）D the mysteries of his religion．I became far more interested in him than in the socks．I looked at him in amazement．"My friend，"said I，"if you can keep this up，if this is not （49）C the enthusiasm that comes from having a new job，if you can keep up this enthusiasm and excitement day after day，in ten years you will own every sock in the United States．"
My （50）A at his pride and joy in salesmanship will be easily understood by all who read this article．In many shops the customer has to wait for someone to serve him．And when （51）D some clerk does notice you，you are made to feel as if you were （52）B him．Either he is （53）A in deep thought in which he hates to be interrupted （打斷） （54）B he is chatting with a girl clerk and you feel like （55）B for"being too rude"．
He shows no interest either in you or in the goods he is （56）A to sell． （57）B possibly the very clerk who is now so indifferent（冷漠的） began his career with hope and （58）D．The daily work was too much for him； the （59）A  disappears slowly； his only pleasures were found outside of working hours； and he saw younger clerks who had more enthusiasm in their work promoted over him．He became sour．That was the last （60）B．His usefulness was over．

2．Throughout history，many great leaders and explorers have tried hard to find objects or other ways to live forever．While it might sound （41）C to live forever，I believe that what makes life so （42）A is that it doesn't last forever．So，I don't （43）D that living forever is a good idea．
For one thing，I think living forever would be very（44）B．We always have to find ways to （45）B ourselves in a normal lifetime．（46）A you lived forever，you would still need to eat and have a place to live．To pay for all these things，you would have to（47）D   working for as long as you lived．Many people work for 30-40years，then（48）B and begin to enjoy the rest of their lives．But you wouldn't have that （49）B if you lived forever．And，since forever is a long time，that means if you didn't （50）C your skill set every few decades（十年），you could be stuck doing the same thing for a very long time．That doesn't sound like （51）C at all!
Furthermore，it would be very  （52）A to live forever if the people around you didn't also have that （53）C．You'd be likely to  （54）D a lot of people in different periods of time，but you would also have to（55）A them die．No doubt this could be very   （56）D for you．You would have the  （57）A to see your children and your grandchildren and your great grandchildren all （58）C．But then，you'd also have to watch them get old and pass away．（59）D，this could lead to a very lonely existence（存在）．
（60）B，while living forever might be attractive to some people，I don't think it would be right for me．
