Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter．
As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season．Many forests are badly 1 by fire each year．Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer．We were in a heat wave which had been 2 for three days．
Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible 3 ．I no longer had any hope that Lulu would come 4 to the shelter．In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his 5 in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my shelter and 6 me that my dog Lulu had 7 to save four kittens who were trapped by the flames．According to the fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a 8 place．I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to 9 the rescued kittens．When we arrived at the 10 of the incident, we found Lulu was not 11 ．Then we heard the 12 of a dog came from the forest barking furiously．I 13 it was my dog Lulu．The fireman followed the tracks of the dog until we found him barking 14 by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately 15 rescue．Thanks to Lulu, four kittens and a fireman were saved．
That day, I was very 16 of Lulu for his two heroic 17 toward the kittens and the fireman．Lulu showed much compassion (同情) for both animals 18 him and for a human being who was trying to 19 the fire with his colleagues．
This true story of genuine love and compassion shows us that pets are loving, 20 and compassionate．We should love and protect them．One day they could do us a good turn．

They said that the fault did not lie 8 the club but the troubled Chinese football world. Scold of match fixing and" black whistles" have been frequent since the late 1990s. In an important match 9 Yanbian Hyundai and Sichuan Quanxing in 1995, one side gave up defending to protest 10 unfair referees(判罚) and watched the other side score almost freely. Some teams lose 11 purpose because it 12 the same owner with its opposition. Most football fans are losing interest in such games because of their lack 13 professional spirit.
Most football clubs are 14 and some cannot pay their players. Smaller and smaller crowds means ticket sales, their other main income, 15 falling. All the facts show that Chinese football has come to its most critical point for years. "There is no choice 16 . The CFA will help those clubs which are losing money to 17 confidence l8 a profit ",said Yan Shiduo, the vice president of the CFA. Wang Wen, 19 of Beijing's Football Fans Association said," The fans are 20 by Chinese football and we hope for effective reform of the league."

How does a 35 wonlan thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother？For being ready with advice (when asked ) or 36 silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:”I 37you so ,”when she could have spoked these words dozens of 38 ?For being essentially herself-loving ,thoughtful. Patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how，dear God，except to bless her as richly as she 39 an
