This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 2002. He was different from other dogs because he was born with only two legs. The poor dog of course could not walk and even his mother Sarah did not want him. His first owner Michael Johnson also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of killing him. But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She decided to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself. She called him “Faith”.
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard (滑板) to let him feel the movement… Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure (诱惑) and reward for him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk. Amazingly, after only six months, Faith learned to balance on his legs and jump to move forward. After further training in this snow, he could now walk like a person.
Faith loves to walk around now. Wherever he goes, he attracts people’s attention. He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows. A book named With a Little Faith is now being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.
Jude Stringfellow, his present owner, has stopped working and plans to take him around the world to tell people “that even without a perfect body, one can have a strong will (意志)”.
Faith is a good example of the strong will and wonder of life. In life there are always unpleasant things. So, in order to feel better, you just need to look at life from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.Faith is different from other dogs because _______.

When astronauts （宇航员）are in space, they eat, sleep, wash, work and play. They do the same things as us, but they do them differently. On Earth, we put food on a plate and water in a glass. Gravity (重力) holds the food down and keeps the water in the glass. But in space, there is almost no gravity. So food can float away, and astronauts must eat and drink carefully.
Sleeping is very different in space. Some astronauts like to float in the air, but most astronauts like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie the bag to a wall so that they can’t float away.
Washing is difficult. There is no shower or bath, so astronauts must use a wet sponge（海绵）. They brush their teeth normally, but very carefully. They don’t want wet toothpaste to float around the spacecraft（太空舱）! Toilets are easy to use. A space toilet is like a vacuum (真空) cleaner with a seat.
Exercise is very important in space. On Earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs. This is very bad for their legs, so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day. They often use an exercise bicycle for this.
After a day’s work, astronauts relax（放松）. They listen to music, read, watch films, play games, write e-mails or talk to their friends and families by radio. Sometimes they just enjoy floating in the air. On the international Space Station, astronauts sometimes race from one end of the station to the other. The most popular pastime（娱乐） is looking out of the window, looking at space and watching the Earth.
