My name’s Woof. Do you think we have a great life? Wrong! I’ll tell you why.
First of all，we are bored, very bored, because our owners (主人) are busy. You know, they go to work or school, so they are out all day. What could we do? Watch the house? Sure. But that’s boring. That’s why we get so excited when our owners come home. We bark and run around and look as if (貌似)we are very happy. But we only do this because we’re bored. If we are lucky, our owner will take us for a walk.
The second thing is the food. We eat the same food, meal after meal, day after day, week after week, month after month. Help! Would you like to eat the same thing all the time(一直)? No, we don’t. We hate it.
Another thing is TV. Dogs hate television. Our owners watch these stupid(傻) shows, hour after hour. Are there any shows for dogs on television? No.
So what can we do? What else can we do but sleep? So we sleep. We dogs are not lazy, we are bored.Woof may be a ______.

Two good friends,Sam and Jason,met with a car accident on their way home one snowy night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken.The doctor,Mr. Lee,was standing by his bed,looking at him worriedly. When he saw Sam awake,he asked, “How are you feeling,Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, Doctor. Thank you very much for doing the special operation(手术).” Mr Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving,Sam said, “Please don’t tell Jason about it.” “Well...Well...OK.”Mr. Lee replied.
