Not long ago，my daughter's leather shoes were cut by a knife.She burst into tears.I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young shoemaker took a look at the opening and said， "There is （1） I can do but change the leather."
His master looked at them and said to me， "If you （2） C me，I will add more cuts in the form of special style and reuse."
I didn't quite know why，but I decided to （3） the shoes.
Two days later，I went there to get the shoes.At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six （4） on each shoe，but all the openings were covered by soft red leather sewed （缝） with thick thread （线）.The shoes looked more special and interesting than ever.I couldn't help （5） the master for his work.
Another time，my sister's white （6） had a large opening on the back.My wife took it over and checked （7） ，and then said， "Let me take it home and repair it."
Three days went past，and I was （8） to see it again：all the openings were sewed up by thin and（9） thread and they looked like the ice crystal （晶体） on winter's branches （树枝） in the north.She （10） made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse.I said with praise，"I's just as beautiful as a piece of （11） ."
"I learned from the master.Patches （补丁） can be designed to look （12） ." replied my wife.
Her words taught me even more：perfection is （13） to achieve in everything；patches are unavoidable （不可避免的），so is human's life，which will appear in the form of wound，disability or disease. （14） you can't change that，all you can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound，and that is （15） life teaches us.Once you understand it，you can enjoy your life better.

"So Senator was fed twice？" Dad asked，"But why did he （12） seem hungry？"
"All's fish that comes to his net！" Lucy looked down at Senator who was wagging his tail. "Let's see how you like eating Doggie Diet for a month！"

What does the word ecology mean？It was （1） by Emst Hacckel，a German biologist.He joined two Greek words：oikos，meaning "house，" and logie，meaning"the study of." Together they mean"the study of the house." The"house"Hacckel had in mind is our（2） ，Earth.Earth is home for all living things﹣ ﹣humans，animals，plants，and even tiny microbes.
To study a house is to learn how its residents（居 民） use it.An ecologist is a scientist who studies the（3） between organisms （生物） and their environment.The environment is an organism's surroundings.It may （4） water，gases，rocks，and temperature.
Ecologists also study the balance of using the environment while protecting it.
An ecologist once asked a boy（5） he thought it meant to protect the environment.
The boy said，"You go into the forest and look for somebody who wants to cut down a tree.You take away his axe.You tell him about how（6） trees are.You say they are good for natural beauty，saving soil，and giving shelter to birds and other animals."
"Good answer，" said the ecologist， "（7） it may not be easy to find a woodcutter to talk to.Also，remember that sometimes it's（8） to cut down a tree.If we cut down too many trees，the forest will disappear.If we don't cut down any trees，we won't get any resources from the forest.We have to find the right（9） ."
"I get it，" the boy said. "We need the forest's（10） for wood and paper or we might not have desks or notebooks for school."
"Exactly﹣and school is a good place to learn about ecology，" added the ecologist."Then you will know how to protect the natural environment."

Then she saw an elephant by the lake. "The elephant takes water in her long nose and sprays （喷 洒）it everywhere.She has so much fun.（4） I had a long nose，I would become happy like her. " Jina thought.
Just then a crow came and sat on Jina's head. "Why are you so（5） ？"

At that moment，a（8） came and said to Jina， "Jina，I need your（9） !My kid has climbed up a tree.Will you bring him down？"
"Of course!" Jina stretched her long neck up and（10） brought the young lion down from the tree.
"So much joy in helping!Did you （11） helping someone，Jina？" asked the crow.
