    Here is a dog with a lantern(提灯) in his mouth. He is looking for his master(主人).

    Carlo, a lovely dog, had been taught to be useful. The roads, in the place where his master lived, were often so bad that it was not safe for any person to go out without a light on dark nights.

    So Carlo's master taught him to carry a lantern for him at night, and he did it as steadily(稳固地) as any boy could have done.

    Carlo never trotted(小跑) too far before his master so that the bright light of the lantern might guide his master's steps.

    When he came to a deep rut(车辙) or hole in the road, he would turn round to his master, seemed to say, “Take care, there is a hole here.''

    The dog's master lived about a mile from the town, and when he could not get home before dark, Carlo used to be sent to him with the lantern. Carlo usually knew where to go. He also knew the road which his master would take.

  But Carlo didn't always find his master right away. When he reached the town, he would run off to a house where his master often was. Still holding his lantern, he would scratch at the street-door with his feet and bark(吠叫), as much as to say, “Here am I, Master, with the lantern, are you ready for home?''

    Someone would perhaps come to the door and say, “Your master is not here.” Carlo would growl(嘟哝), seemed to say, “Then he is somewhere else, and I must find him.”

    He would then run off to one house after another, until he found his master, and then the two went home together.

Doctor: OK. Have you taken any medicine?

Larry:  I've had nothing till now.

Doctor: You haven't had a fever. Well, don't worry! I don't think you've got the flu(流感). I think it's just a cold.

Larry: OK.

Doctor: You should drink lots of water and take some vitamin C.

Larry: All right. Is there  I can do?

Doctor: Well, you can go to bed early.

Larry: Should I stay off school for a few days? Should I stay in bed?

Doctor: No, you needn't. It's nothing serious, so  as usual.

Larry: Oh, dear! I have a maths exam tomorrow.

    After supper, Mr Jackson turned on the television. He tried to find a football game on it. At that time the telephone rang and he went to answer it. “Hello,” he said, “746-2135” “It's Betty speaking,” said a woman. “Henry is ill. And I have to take him to hospital. But Lucy is to young……” “Don't worry. I'll go and look after her. But where's your husband James?'' “He's gone to London. He'll be back at tomorrow morning.''

    Mrs Jackson was on duty in the hospital that night and Mr Jackson had to go to help his sister. Lucy was only four. She began to cry when her mother left. Mr Jackson told her some stories, taught her a song and showed her some nice pictures. He didn't stop until the little girl went to sleep. Mr Jackson went home after James came back. He was asleep soon after he went to bed. His wife came into the bedroom and it woke him up. He had a look at the clock on the wall and found it was half past eight. He jumped off the bed and ran to the garage(车库)with his bag. His wife tried to say something, but he called back, “l was never late for work, you know. But I'm late this morning.'' “No, you aren't,” said Mrs Jackson. “It's Saturday.''
