How does a young dog or cat get to know a new home？The animal uses its nose．Right away it smells its new places．Then it makes wider and wider circles，smelling all the time．Before long it can find its way home very well，even in the dark．It simply follows something it knows well．
Stories happen about animals who found their way across land they had never smelled before．Take the case of Smoky，a small white cat．Smoky had some funny red hair around its right ear．One day Smoky and his owner began a long journey．They were moving from Oklahoma to Tennessee．When they were just eighteen miles from their Oklahoma home，Smoky jumped out of the car．Then he found his way back to the old house．There he wandered around outside for many days．Finally he disappeared．

Everyone has two personalities（性格）﹣the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control yourself，but when you are asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，you often change your sleeping positions．The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep．
If you go to sleep on your back，you are a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas．You don't like to make people unhappy，so you never express your real feelings．You are quite shy and you aren't very confident．
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a person who likes to keep secrets．You worry a lot and you are always easily becoming sad．You never want to change your ideas，but you are satisfied with your life the way it is．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．
If you sleep on curled up，you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt，so you are very defensive（防御性的）．You are shy and you don't usually like meeting people．You like to be on your own．

A few days ago，I ran into a stranger as he passed by．I said sorry to him．And we were very polite．Then we went on our way after saying goodbye．
Later in the kitchen at home，as I cooked our meal，my daughter Betty walked up to me．When I turned around，I nearly knocked her down．"Get out of the way!" I shouted angrily．She ran away，crying．
That night，when I lay in bed，my husband said to me，"You were so rude to Betty．Go and look around on the kitchen floor，and you'll find some flowers there．Betty brought those for you．She picked them herself pink，yellow，and your favorite blue．"
When I heard this，I thought deeply．"While meeting with a stranger，I was calm and polite，but with my daughter，I was not patient．"I felt sad and tears began to fall．
I quietly went to Betty's bed．"Wake up，my dear! "I said，"Are these the flowers you picked for me？"She smiled，"I found them by the tree．I knew you'd like them，especially the blue．"I said，"I am so sorry that I treated you that way today．"And she whispered（悄声说），"Mommy，that's okay．I still love you anyway．"I kissed her and said，"I love you too and I do love the flowers．"
That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family．I spent much time on work before and didn't realize how important family life was．I decided to do better in the future．
