    Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means "breath of life". Although he died several years ago, I can
still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.
    I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he'd catch an apple and
take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn't always
happy that Prana had brought them into the house.
    It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for
its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he
was madly digging (挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I
did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.
    When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside.
The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat.
He knew that they wouldn't have stored enough food for the coming winter!

    Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don't
understand them. They often think their parents are too strict (1)w              them.
     Parents often find it difficult to win their (2)c              trust, and they seem to forget how they themselves
felt when they were young.
     For example, young people like to do things without much (3)t              . It's one of their ways to show
that they grow up and they can solve any difficult (4)p              . But older people always think (5)m              
than young people. Most of them plan things ahead and don't like their plans to be (6)c             , so when you
want your parents to let you do something, you will succeed easily if you ask before you really start doing it.
    Young people often make their parents angry by the (7)c              they wear, the music they enjoy and
something else. But they don't mean to cause any trouble. They just want to be cut off (摆脱) from the old
people's world and they are (8)t              to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents don't like
their music or clothes or their ways of speech, the young people feel very sad. Sometimes instead of going
out with their parents, they just want to stay at home (9)a              and do what they like.
    If you plan to do something, you'd (10)b              win your parents over and get them to understand you,
if so, your parents will certainly let you do what you want to do.
