（一） 我家的小狗 My Little Dog

　　Last year，my friend gave me a little dog. I was fond of him very much. I liked to play with him after school and he liked to follow me wherever I went. I was very glad that I had a “body guard”。

　　Last winter I was very busy with my lessons and came home very late every day.However，no matter how late I went home，my dog used to stand at a comer near my school waiting for me. When I passed there，he barked two or three times then ran towards me. It seemed that he was calling me.

　　My dog not only，took good care of me，but also was respoasible at home. When strangers came to my house，he barked at them but not hurt them. What a lovely dog he is！

　　去年我朋友送我一只狗，我非常喜欢它。我很喜欢和他一起玩，放学后他喜欢跟着我，无论我走到哪里。我很高兴我有一个“保镖”。

　　去年冬天我功课很忙，每天回家都很晚。但是，不管我到家多晚，我的狗狗经常站在一个角落里在我的学校等着我。当我经过那里，他厉声叫两到三次，然后跑向我。似乎它是在呼唤我。

　　我的狗，不仅把我照顾得很好，但在家也很负责任。当有陌生人来到我家，他对着他们叫但不会伤害他们。他是一个多么可爱的狗！

　　Nowadays many people like to have dogs as their pets. Dogs are friends of man not only because they are lovely but also because they are faithful to their masters.

　　Dogs can do a lot of work for man. They play with us. They hunt with us. They keep door for us. But long ago, dogs all over the world were wild.

　　Dogs can date back to the Stone Age. All dogs have the same ancestor. It is believed that their ancestor was much like a wolf. Other animals, such as the fox, came from this ancestor, too. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, man began to tame wild dogs. After the dogs were tamed, they were trained. The strong dogs became working animals. They were trained to pull heavy loads. They learned to keep an eye on the sheep and other animals. Working dogs had other jobs, too.
