It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.

　　Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it：“Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently：“Take this to the butcher（* person whose job is selling meat）and he's going to give you your lunch today.”

　　Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

　　At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

　　The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers（*people who buy sth. from a shop）.

　　But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He  said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”

Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it！

The Channel Islands are a group of British-owned islands lying in the English Channel, 10 to 30 miles off the French coast, and 70 to 90 miles from the English coast. There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123,000. The three largest islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney, have long been known for the fine breeds (品种) of cattle that are raised on them and named after them.

It's a small gas station that has snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and candies. The young man behind the counter knows his   __36__   by name and what they normally want to buy. He treats children and adults with equal   __37__. He reads science fiction behind the counter when business is   __38__.
One day, three people rushed in and grabbed（抓住） food off the shelves as fast as they could,   __39__   not intending to pay for it. He hit the “panic button” , then went over the counter（柜台） and   __40__   the front door. It was obvious that they were homeless, and  equally obvious that they weren't going   __41__   with their ill­gotten（非法获得的） gains. They    __42__   the food and simply crowded together in panic（惊慌地）—knowing the police were   __43__   the way.
Imagine what they must have felt like when they were told they didn't have to steal if they were that    __44__. “We have food in the back, expired (到期)but still   __45__   to eat. If you need food, you   __46__   have some.” 
They were told to   __47__   what they had dropped and put it back, and then asked to straighten out（清理） the mess. They were doing just that    __48__    the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer   __49__.
This wasn't what they had    __50__. They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they'd done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.
Soon three   __51__   people walked out with all the    __52__   their arms could hold. They were   __53__   that，if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.
And then the young man went back to read until the next customer came in. He would be the    __54__ person in the world to claim he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were in desperate need of—a   __55__amount of self­respect and a little bit of hope.
