We often hear stories of animals rescuing people .But now someone has managed to return the favor .

The event took place one snowy January morning Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park.“ As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn’t climb out, ”said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog.“ someone else told me the lake was only one - meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6- cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck, and pulled him out. I don’t think I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay------ no one was particularly worried, about me!”

A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen.“The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner Smith was in the water forcing his way through the ice. I can’t begin to imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber ----- he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.”

Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid- back about it.“Most dog owners are the same as me.They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I’m going to make sure he’s on lead near any ice ponds,

There was once an old and deep well. People got water by dropping a bucket(木桶) tied to a rope. The rope passed over a wheel just above the well. On the other side of the rope was another bucket.

A strong pull brought one bucket to the top while the other down to the water. They always passed each other on the way up and down, but never had time to speak.

At last, the rope became worn. So a new rope had to be put in its place. While this was being done, the two buckets were left standing together near the well.

“What a boring life we have!” said one bucket to the other. “I am quite tired of it. No matter how full we come up, we are always sent down empty.”

But the other bucket laughed and said, “What a funny way you have of looking at things! Don’t you see that whenever we are sent down empty, we always come up full?’

Boys and girls sometimes talk like these two buckets. You may hear one of them say, “Just as we are having a good game, we are made to stop and go to work again.” “Yes,” the other will reply, “but as soon as work is over, we always get to go out and have fun again.”

There are two ways of looking at things. If you want to be happy, look at the bright side.

2.Where did the two buckets talk with each other?（不超過(guò)10個(gè)詞）
