Why do dogs chase（追赶） cats?-- Here is a story about this.

One day Cat and Dog get married. They are very happy together, but every night when Dog comes home from work, Cat says she is too sick to make dinner for him. Dog is patient（有耐心的） with her at first, but soon gets tired of making dinner after a day’s hard work. After all, Cat just stays at home all day long.

One day, Dog tells Cat he is going to work, but he hides in a box and wants to find if she is really sick. Cat thinks dog leaves, so she starts playing outside with other cats. They laugh and run about. Dog knows Cat isn’t sick at all. He jumps out of the box.. Dog is so angry that he starts chasing her all over the house.

And dogs still like chasing cats today.

An old man was sitting in front of his house. Just then, a young man walked up to him, “Excuse me, what kinds of people live in this town?” asked the young man.

“What kinds of people lived in the town you left?” the old man replied with a smile. “Oh, they were unkind and angry. I couldn’t wait to leave” said the young man. “Then those are exactly the same kinds of people you will find in this town. You might not be happy here. ” After hearing his words, the young man moved on.

About an hour later, another young man walked to the old man with a big smile on his face. “Good afternoon, sir. Could you tell me what kinds of people live in this town?” the young man asked. “What kinds of people lived in the last town you lived in?” the old man asked. “Oh, they were amazing! They were polite and helpful. I really didn’t want to leave.” answered the young man. “You’ll find the same kinds of people in this town… Welcome! I hope you decide to stay here. ”

Life is not easy for me. When I was 14, I was quite nervous to talk with others. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life.

It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. “Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win.” said Mum. Then Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last, I chose the topic “Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the sentences and practiced them again and again. Luckily, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first prize. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students. They all said “Congratulations!” to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

From then on, no matter what I do, I try to tell myself to be confident.

Money can’t buy everything, but we need money in our life. If I have a lot of money, I will do a lot of things.

First, I want to build a nice house for my parents. Now I just live with my grandparents. My parents can’t afford to build one beautiful house, because the money my parents make is only used to pay for my study and everyday life. I feel sorry for them. So I will give a lot of money to my parents if I am very rich.

Second, I will give money to the poor children, then they can go to school and they can get knowledge（知识）. When they grow up, they can work for the country. Now in the 21^st century, knowledge is the most important thing. Can we say “Knowledge is money”? I think so. So I am sure we can have a nice future and a much stronger motherland.

At last I will go to the best medical college in the world, and also I will make a lot of medicine for different diseases of cancer（癌症）, and then I can help more people.

There are many things we will do if we have a lot of money, but now we have to work hard. So let’s work hard for money, and for our country!
