A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.
The man,Bob,was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year's Eve to collect firewood.Expecting a journey of only several metres,Bob was wearing just long johns(襯褲),a shirt and slippers when he went outside,although the temperature was around -4℃.
After the accident,he was unable to move in the snow.Fortunately,Kelsey came to his assistance.
"I was shouting for help,but my nearest neighbour is about 400 metres away,and it was 10:30pm," Bob explained.But my Kelsey came.By the next morning,my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help,but Kelsey didn't stop barking.
Kelsey's companion kept him warm by lying on top of him.She licked his face and hands to keep him awake."Kelsey kept barking but never left my side," Bob recalled."She kept me warm.I knew I couldn't give up and that it was my choice to stay alive."
Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold.When he finally lost consciousness,his dog kept barking.Finally,hearing the barking,Bob's neighbour discovered him at 6:30 pm on New Year's Day and called the emergency services at once.When Bob arrived in hospital,his body temperature was below 21℃.However,doctors were surprised to find that he didn't have any frostbite(凍瘡).They believed it was because of Kelsey's determination to keep him warm.Dr Chaim Colen,the doctor who treated Bob,said,"Animals can help and his dog really saved him.He was very fortunate."
Bob said he was "enormously" grateful to both Dr Colen and his Kelsey."They saved my life.They are truly heroes!"

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
