A few weeks ago, our dog, which we had kept for more than ten years, had to be put down. First，a tumor on her stomach got worse, and she was very painful. Then，the pain in her back got so serious that sometimes she would lie down in the middle of a walk and couldn’t take another step.

I didn’t know the fact until a week after that. Then I was very sad and cried a lot. She was more like a sister to me than a pet. So I was very angry at my stepfather, Steve, who had not told us the truth at once. He explained that he didn't want to worry us, and he didn't want me to get depressed(沮喪的) and fail my exams. Before that, I always thought that Jennie had been still at the animals' hospital.

“She was my dog! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.” I couldn’t help shouting.

Steve just sat still. People in my family had a habit of keeping unpleasant things from me. They thought they were protecting me. But that’s not true. Once I got the bad news, I might be much more painful for some moments that I had missed. I turned to my mom, and she said, “I know. I’m angry, too.” After a while, she added, “Poor Steve had to go through all this on his own.” Hearing that, I immediately shut up my mouth and was lost in deep thought.

Maybe I had been so focused on myself so much. That dog was also Steve’s baby. He’d had her for longer than he’d had us---but he had to make the difficult decision to end her life, and then kept in silence for an entire week.

My anger began to melt away, and I could guess what Steve might feel these days.

My mom’s words have constantly haunted in my ear and in my mind till now. Sometimes, we should think more of others’ pain.

2.What can we learn about the pet dog?

B. The family often told white lies to the author to protect her.

C. The author’s mom didn’t understand her feeling.

D. The author’s mom thought Steve shouldn’t withstand so much pain alone.

5.The best title of the passage could be ________.

A. A Right Decision B. Believe in Ourselves

C. Try to Put Yourself in other’s Shoes D. My Stepfather and I

I used to watch him from my kitchen window. He seemed so small as he played through a crowd of tall boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would

often watch the kids as they played during break.

I remember the first day when I saw him playing basketball. He ran circles around the other kids. He managed to shoot jump shots from their heads and into the net. The big boys always tried to stop him but no one could.

One day, I met him and asked him why he practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation he said, "I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.

I watched him through those junior high school and into senior high school. Every week, he led his school team to victory

One day in his senior year, I saw him sitting in the grass with head in his arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside him. Quietly I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing," came a soft reply, "I am just too short." The coach told him that he would probably never get to play for a top ranked team-much less offered a scholarship. So she should stop dreaming about college.

He was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed his disappointment. I asked him if he had talked to his dad about it yet. He told me that his father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told him that if he truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop him except one thing-his own attitude. He told him again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”

The next year, as he and his team went to the Northern California Championship game, he was offered a scholarship. Finally, he was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.
