Question

【題目】 As a vet, I have often felt helpless to comfort the sad owners whose pets are very ill and going to die. That was _____ I met Shane.

I had been called to _____ a tenyearold dog named Belker who had cancer(癌癥). The dog's owners, Steven and Mary, were very _____. So was their little boy, Shane. I told the family we couldn't do _____ for Belker, and offered the euthanasia(安樂死) for the old dog in their home. As we made the final _____， the parents told me it would be good for the tenyearold Shane to see the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something _____ the experience.

The next day, I felt a catch in my throat as Belker's family were around him. Shane seemed so calm, _____ the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.

A few minutes later, Belker died _____. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without any difficulty. We sat together and talked about why animal lives are _____ than human lives. Shane, who was listening quietly, suddenly said, “I know why.” Shocked, we all ______ him and were surprised at what he had said.

“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right？” He continued, “Well, dogs already know ______ to do that, so they don't have to stay as long as human beings.” It was the best way I have ever heard.

Shane makes me realize that a dog is the teacher for people. We will learn things like:

●Run, ______， and play happily.
