Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren’t sure where to start or feel like they just don’t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.

Think more before you decide

The decisions you make may go a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian diet. If you aren’t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies that have illegal(違法的) practices.

Help speak the word out

Speaking the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important problems of animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we’re facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.

Write a letter

We’ve all heard the saying, “ The pen is more powerful than the sword(寶劍)”. Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won’t buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者)to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.

Be more loving

If you’re considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who look after poor animals.

Let your actions be an example to others

It may sound simple，but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living animals with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment places that use animals to perform. Support legislation that protects animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.

What's the real meaning of the word "peace" ? The following    61  may tell us something about it.

There was once a king who offered an award to an artist who could paint the   62   picture of peace. Many   63   tried. The king looked at all the pictures .But there were only two he really liked and he had to  64  between them.

One picture was a calm(平靜的) lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. 65   who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect（完美的）picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains too. But they were rugged （高低不平的）. Above was the dark sky, from which heavy rain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of the mountain.

Toys and games are important when children are growing up and learning about the world around them. Before 1970, most toys were made of metal and wood.  61  . Toys include balls, plastic cars and dolls. Some people think video games are also toys.

  62   . The beginning of the word “toy” is not known. However, it is thought that it was first used in the 14th century. The earliest toys were often made from rocks, sticks or clay（粘土）.  63   . In old Rome, children played with dolls made of clay, sticks and yo-yos. In ancient Greece, girls were asked to give up the toys to the gods when they were about fourteen years old. They would offer their dolls in a temple on the day they got married.

     A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the correct time and is never late for anything.

     An unpunctual man never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be got back. Time is more useful than material things. In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is always wasting his most important things as well as others'. An unpunctual person is always saying unhappily that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls. But the man who really has much to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not finish all his work unless he carefully does every piece of work.

Being unpunctual is the sign of disrespect (不尊重_) towards others. If a person is invited to

dinner and arrives later than the time when he should be there, he keeps all the other guests (客人)

waiting for him. Usually this will be thought as a great disrespect to the host and all the other guests.

Not like a punctual person, an unpunctual one can't do his duty wonderfully, whether it is public or personal. Imagine how it would be if those who should do important tasks failed to be on time. A man who is known to be often unpunctual is never believed by his friends or fellow men.
