I had to go grocery_shopping this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks.My husband
had been in Greece for a few weeks and my daughters were not at_home either so I had stocked up
on vegetables，salad ingredients and fruits along with the meat that I had in the freezer.
I am curious.When you are in line waiting to check out，do you check out what others have in
their carts？I hate to admit it，but I do.I try not to judge，but again，I suppose I do to some extent－
when I see a family in which the parents and the kids are very overweight and they are buying
pop(汽水)and highcalorie snack foods.
My biggest issue with groceries is that all of the processed foods are easier to get and cheaper
than fresh produce and probably stretch further.It amazes me to see families buying 12 packs or 24
packs of different kinds of pop.Most of the people that I am seeing are buying regular pop，not
diet.But when I was young，we bought pop on_special_occasions.
For birthday parties or a camping trip，we could only have one can per day.We bought Shasta
back then.I am not even sure whether it is still sold or not.We could all pick a few different_flavors
that we wanted for the trip.
But nowadays，pop is everywhere you go. I am glad to say that the_hospital that I work for
threw_away all of their pop vending machines(自动贩卖机)．They didn't think health care workers，
patients or patients' families needed them.I was happy for the change，but other people might not
think so.

are lazy. But in order to stay healthy, we should buy vegetables,_ fruit and meat and make the
majority of our meals at home. We can find recipes on the Internet that are good for us. We can cook

Tawny Nelson is a single mother of four sweet little girls aged 9,5,2, and one year old. It's not
easy to take care of the girls all on_her_own. Recently, she shared a story with Frank Somerville, a
news anchor for KTVU News in California. He was so moved by her story that he shared it on his
Facebook page.
Tawny's story opened with her visiting the grocery store. It was a rainy and miserable day and
by the time she got all the girls loaded in the truck and ready to head home,_it was dark and pouring
down. When she tried to start her truck, it wouldn't start. With no one to call, Tawny turned to ask
strangers for help to charge her truck. Hours passed and so did at least twenty_people. They all
ignored her. Tired and hungry, her daughters began to act out. Tawny was filled with tears when
someone knocked on her passenger window.
Somerville writes, “I swear I got chills when I read what happened next.” And you will do the
same when you read Tawny's story：
I am the single mother of four absolutely beautiful little girls. They are 9, 5, 2, and one year old.
And things have been particularly rough since my ex left. Our truck had a flat tire and I had to inflate
it constantly. The driver side window motor died. And I needed a new belt. The truck was a mess.
And we didn't drive anywhere unless we had to. Well, the_other_day we desperately needed to go to
the store. So we loaded up and drove to the Winn Dixie about 9 blocks away. When we got out of
the store it was far after dark. And it was raining heavily. I loaded my kids and groceries into the
truck.

Paragraph 2：
I was crying when a gentleman stopped and offered to help me. He handed me a plate of
chicken and biscuits and bottles of water. He said，“Feed your girls. I have a truck on the way and
my wife will be here to take you home.” What he said was right. His wife arrived followed by our truck.We and the truck were taken home. The next morning the gentleman returned to my house
with a man who replaced my battery and fixed my window. Seeing the scene I burst into tears.

In my home, there is an old leather chair that I want to throw away but I can't. If you took at
this picture, you'll see why. This is my dog Max and he lives in the_old_chair. It wasn't always this
way. Max used to be a puppy. He ran, jumped and played. For years it seemed he never sat still. But
he's 8 years old now so he's slowed down quite a bit and enjoys his time in his favorite chair like an
old man.
Every time I leave the house, he climbs up there and takes on a sad look. It's a face that says, “I
hate it when you leave me but I'll wait here patiently until you come back.” When he was younger
he'd always be waiting at_the_door and waving his tail when he heard the sound of knocking. These
days his old legs are hurt a bit and getting up and down from things isn't as easy as it used to be. So
when I open the door and don't see the dog standing there, my eyes immediately turn toward the
living room and I see his_big_brown_eyes. The sadness is washed away from his face and I
immediately go and give him a hug.
If there were a million dollars sitting on_the_kitchen_table,_I would walk right to see him first.
I get down on the floor so we are at eye level, put my head on his and tell him what a good_boy he
is. He doesn't know a lot of human words but he knows what “good boy” means.
I bought that chair 15 years ago and the leather has started to wear away. I don't mind it so
much but when company comes over, I do feel a bit embarrassed. I apologize to my guests but
explain that is Max's chair.

Paragraph 1：
I've thought about getting rid of it.But then I wonder what Max would do if I do that. Would he
like a new chair or would he stare at the place where he used to sleep and play, looking back at me
confusedly? He's a great dog and he doesn't ask me to do anything for him other than to love him. So
now that he likes the_old_chair,_when he sees the chair, he can think of my love for him.
Paragraph 2：
I like to see him sitting in the chair when I come back. I want to see his_big_brown_eyes filled
with love and I want my good_boy to wait for me at_the_door. I want to give him a hug_after work.
Max has become a part of my life. He is like my son and I am willing to love him.

Today is his_birthday.It's a special day that Brian feels that he is lucky to share with you，for
today he is 70 years old.
About a month ago Brian asked Danielle and Nancy if he could do what he wanted to do on his
birthday. He didn't know then what he would say，but he did know that he wanted to share his age in
a very public way. Little did he suspect then that he would be sharing not only with his_coworkers
on_the_29th_floor，but with the entire region!
Revealing age is not something that most people ， including himself, feel comfortable
doing.People wouldn't think of asking their friends，associates or customers how old they are. Why
is it then perfectly acceptable to ask a child how old he is? What changes between age 7 and age 70?
When and why does age turn from something to be proudly claimed to a topic to be avoided?
He believes it happens when a child no longer states his age as a simple fact ， just as his
youngest son Gavin used to do with mathematical precision( 精 确 性 ) ： “I am 6 and 5/12 years
old.”Then he instead begins to focus on being seen as older.As parents，people contribute to this
mind shift by remarks such as“Act your age”or“You're older than that.”He admits that he said such
things to his own children.The child gets the_message that age brings status ， power and
autonomy( 自 主 权 ) ． People celebrate important_events.Then sometime after age 21 birthday
celebrations lose their allure(吸引力)．No longer is getting older seen as a badge of distinction.
Instead ， people become concerned that they are getting old. The very word“old”has negative
connotations. What image comes to mind when you hear “old age” “old folk's home” “old
guard”or“out with the_old，in with the new”？“You're too old” will gradually turn into “I'm too
old.”He has heard this inner voice many times.

Paragraph 1：
He always recalls the moment when he was 30.He spent six years studying in college and then
served in the navy for five years. When he was 30 he worked in the bank. He became an appraisal
trainer. Once he came back to New York and met his_coworkers from across the nation. He was by
far the oldest in this group, and he remembers, “I'm too old to start this profession.”
Paragraph 2：
Twenty years passed. It was his_birthday of 50, and he was married with two children,_who
were 13 and 8. Then his wife announced that she would give birth to the third child. She was 48, so
this event was completely beyond expectation. He told his friends and announced the news. After he sent the_message,_the typical response he got was “I'm glad it's you and not me，” which means
“I'm too old to be a father again.”

For as long as her parents can remember,11yearold Breana Carsey has had this crazy dream.
She has always wanted a mommy horse who would give birth to a baby horse, who would then grow
up to become a racing champion.
“Absolutely, this was a fairy tale for her from day one. We put it off for five years because we
don't have a farm ， ” said her father, Brian Carsey, who explained that his_daughter has “me
wrapped around her finger.”
Her horse was born in the spring of 2013. Breana named it MJB_Got_Faith for the faith she
instantly had in him.
“I really loved him. He's super soft too，” she said.
But that quick bond posed a real_problem for this dad. See, for whatever reason, Brian thought
once he explained to his daughter that her horse could never run in a race－that it was a runt from
poor breeding stock－she would just agree to sell it.
“She thought her horse was priceless，” he said. “So I had a chat with my wife and we really
got ourselves in_a_mess here. And I didn't know how we were going to get out of this. So we took
him to the races, the horse that I thought we should have got rid of already.”
Brian was stuck, committed to boarding and training this long shot to end all long shots. And
this is not a wealthy family. Brian runs a small company. And Ohio racing, which is harnessstyle
racing, is a $900 millionayear industry.
MJB Got Faith was so slow that it was barely even qualified to compete but then somehow won
his first race, then his second, third and fourth qualifying him for the_state_championship held in
Columbus，Ohio.
“And I said to my daughter, ‘If you finish third, you should be so thankful，’” Brian
remembered.“She said, ‘Daddy, if he finishes last, I'm going to be thankful. But he's going to
win.’”

Paragraph 1：
This little horse won an important match. Breana went home with a hundred thousand dollars
that day. She contributed half of it to charity and intended to use the other half to buy a farm. “I just want to have a farm and be able to walk MJB_Got_Faith，” she said. Since we first told this story
last year, Breana has lived a better life. She got a national horse racing award and her story was
reported by many media.
Paragraph 2：
Her dad now has a racehorse whose name is Steve Hartman. Perhaps because of many reasons,
Brian has not won a race yet. Hopefully his daughter will allow him to live on her farm. He
watches his daughter walking the horse on the farm. Sometimes he walks his horse. He had a chat
with his daughter about the future. She said she would like to take part in more competitions. And
she wanted to live with her family forever.

My heavenly dream brings a lifetime of comfort and peace.
Bedtime was miserable for me when I was seven. The_attic door just outside my bedroom had
an unfriendly habit of breaking open by itself in the night, and I was sure that it was because of some
fearful monster(魔鬼) on its way out to get me.
“It's an old house, Lois，” my mother explained as she talked to me one night. “The door is
broken.” But her comforting words were no match for my wild imagination. “Can you read to me
to help me go to sleep？” I asked. Mom sat at my bedside and read me a story, and another, and
another，until I finally got to sleep, with my toy tiger, Mumsy,_on my chest.
During_the_day,_the attic was anything but frightening. The very next afternoon my friends
and I ran up and down its steps for fun. First they were a mountain to climb, then a ship's sail, and
then a wonderful castle staircase. “See, Mumsy，” I said, climbing over boxes and furniture we'd
stored. “There's nothing scary here.” But when night fell, everything changed. The attic's rough
wooden_floor and unfinished walls were weakly lit by bare bulbs that made everything look
ambiguous. Those piles_of_storage_boxes and old furniture took on more threatening shapes. What
could be moving in the shadows of the_crawl_space? I was terrified I was going to find out.
“You played up there all day－you know that there's nothing to worry about，” my mom
reassured me that night, kissing me on_the_forehead.“You have Mumsy here to keep an eye on
things, don't you？” “I guess so，” I said. Mom was right. Mumsy was a fierce tiger, after all,
proud and unafraid. I hugged him and closed my eyes. Mom read some interesting stories to me and
left me to my bedtime dreams.

This night, I found myself dreaming of a beautiful woman standing by my bedroom door. She
was dressed in blue and white silk that flowed to the wooden_floor. It was still night and my room
was black, but I could see her clearly. Smiling, she offered me her hand. I climbed out of bed and
took it, my other hand keeping a tight grasp on Mumsy. Together, the three of us went up the stairs
of the_attic.
Paragraph 2：
The woman guided me to every corner of the attic. She even showed me the_crawl_space. She
never spoke. With the angel by my side, the attic looked just like it did during_the_day－a place
where I could feel safe to imagine and play. My mother woke me up the next morning; My tiger was
nowhere to be found. Remembering my dream, I raced up the attic stairs. There, waiting for me on
the top step, was Mumsy! Eventually, I got old enough to sleep without a tiger guard.
