A
I'd like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was
four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My
father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my
companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How
could he? Why? I couldn't understand it. I didn't like him anymore.
I hadn't thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last
week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door,
I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh (尖刻的) words. When the door was
slammed (砰地关上) in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of
my dog that bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that
same feeling of betrayal.
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the
morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in
great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself.
Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend's wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those
things can cause you to say and do things that can't be understood by those who are not
in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that
doesn't seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is
least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending
simply by your actions.

2．________ made the author think about the story about 20 years ago.

After a terrible electrical accident，which caused him to become both blind and
deaf，the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost
ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few
times to put an end to his life.His family，especially his wife，did their best to tend and
comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when

a wall.When Mrs.Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call
for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing
from the shock he got from the lightning.However ， none of them could give a
