“My wallet! Where is it? ” were my first words when I found out my wallet was lost. I searched my memory for a few good seconds, and then 41 that I had left my precious wallet in the library. To be 42 , it was in the public toilet of the library!

43 the library was then closed, I had to wait until the next morning to begin my 44 . When I got there early the next day, all I found was a 45 bathroom.

At that time, all I could 46 was that the person who cleaned the restroom had 47 my wallet. So I 48 approached an old lady at the front desk. “Excuse me, is there a wallet found in the restroom yesterday? ” She walked through a door and 49 for a moment. Then she came back to the desk. “No, ” she said. I quickly thanked her and walked off, 50 .

Finally, I painfully 51 the fact that my wallet had gone.

A week later, I received a mysterious 52 in the mail. Sure enough, it was my 53 ! And most surprisingly, 54 in it was missing! And there was a little yellow piece of paper folded up inside. I slowly unfolded it and a little medal of Christ fell off. The paper 55 like this:

Always 56 this medal with you, whatever your religion is, so the angel that was watching over you last 57 will always be close.

This person didn’t even leave a return 58 , so I couldn’t thank whoever it was.

From that day on, I promised myself to follow this example when I was in a 59 situation. I will make others as 60 as I was when I opened that package!

Why study history?

People live in the present. They plan for the 41 . History, however, is the study of the past. Given all the 42 and pressures that come from living in the present and 43 what is yet to come, why bother with what has been? Given all the available branches of knowledge, why insist– as most 44 systems do – on history? And why urge many students to study even more history than they are 45 to?

Any subject of study needs 46 : supporters must explain why it is worth 47 . Like most widely accepted 48 , history attracts people who simply 49 the information and modes of thought involved. But for people who are less interested in the subject and more 50

about why they should bother with it, a clearer explanation of its purpose is required.

51 do not perform heart transplants, improve highway design, or arrest criminals. In a society that quite correctly expects education to serve 52 purposes, history’s functions can seem more difficult to 53 than those of engineering or medicine. History is in fact very useful, actually 54 , but the products of historical study are often less 55 and immediate than those of other subjects.

History helps us understand people, societies and how they 56 . For example, how can we 57 past wars (and future threats) without using historical materials? Unfortunately, major aspects of a society’s operation cannot be set up as precise experiments. 58 , history must serve, however imperfectly, as our 59 , helping us understand who we are and why we do what we do. This, fundamentally, is why we cannot 60 history.

Scientists have been 22 the tie between pets and health for years. In 1990, a study was done with people aged 65 and older. It 23 that pet owner went to the doctor less than people 24 pets. Do pets make people 25 ? Are people able to handle their everyday lives better? Alan Beck, who is a researcher, says that 26 the answer to the questions is yes, then having pets may be a good idea.

Can pets also help people live longer? Rebecca Johnson did a study to 27 it. Johnson teaches nurses how to care for 28 people. Herr study shows that having pets may cause people to 29 more slowly.

A product successful at home does not always guarantee that it will do well abroad. More than one company has failed to consider that, 41 the price is reasonable, local consumers will often only be 42 a product if it is modified to fit their local 43 .

It is clearly necessary to take account of local 44 . Something that tastes good in one part of the world does not taste so good in others. A large number of 45 food companies have discovered how important it is to 46 their products to suit local markets. The US soup producers Campbell, 47 , found that their tomato soup was 48 too sweet for Europe and Japan. 49 , European food manufacturers have had 50 selling their soups in the US, where consumers felt that they were too salty.

International fast food restaurant chains were some of the first companies to realize the 51 of changing their products in order to 52 local consumers. A hamburger chain sells shrimp cake sandwiches in its Japanese restaurants. Another 53 squid in Japan and chorizo in Mexico. In the UK, Kentucky Fried Chicken sells thick British-style “chips” instead of fries. While McDonald’s 54 a generally standardized menu worldwide, this is adapted for its foreign 55 . For example, it has sold 56 in Germany but wine in France, and has added mutton pies to its Australian 57 .

Businesses hoping to sell their products 58 can learn an important lesson from these companies: it is essential to 59 the market to discover local tastes and preferences, as this is the only way to be sure a product will be as 60 and successful in new markets as it has been at home.

In case you missed it, a video last week showed a miniature horse eating a bowl of carrots—from a high chair. A high chair. Yes, really.

It might seem ___21___, but it might also be the logical extension of the growing ___22___ of treating animals as human and treating pets as children. Examples of this attitude are ___23___, and range from the innocent to the near-crazy. Some people even ___24___ their pets for Halloween or create social media accounts for them. Should this cause ___25___? Should we just smile and nod when people treat their pets as such? Should we shrug off the Facebook page“Animals are People Too” and “My Child has Four Paws”?

No. ___26___ animals aren't people. And pets aren't children.

There seems to be confusion about the ___27___between pets and children. People ___28___ the language of parenthood when talking to their “fur kid” or “baby”. Of course, it' s one thing to use such language lightly, as an innocent expression of love or a(an) ___29___ of the great joy and deep bonds that pets, like children, can create. It’s quite another to use this language ___30___.

Words ___31___. Using inaccurate labels for things doesn't just blur(模糊) the very real lines between pets and people; it can lead to dangerous delusions(錯覺). What if a woman ___32___ having a baby won’t be much different from being a “dad” to a dog?

“Pet parents” point out that they do everything ___33___ parents do—feed, bathe, clean up, care for and love. ___34___, all these actions form only part of the routines of true parenthood. One does not, and cannot, teach ___35___ and morality to cats and dogs, yet that’s the most important job of a parent. Having a child means preparing another mind and soul for adulthood and ___36___. Having a pet means keeping an animal obedient and dependent so it never ___37___ the way a child eventually will.

Pets and children serve different roles, ___38___ different places in the lives of humans. ___ 39___ these fundamental differences benefits neither creatures nor people. We call“pets” ___40___ loving them any less. So stopping calling your pets your “children”.
