My name is Katie and I'm 13 years old. I wanted to do sports with a dog at the age of nine, but I couldn't find a right dog. When I was 11, my parents gave me a dog. His name is Dusty. I found Dusty perfect for me: he is fast, strong and likes to make me happy. I knew that this was the pet dog I wanted.

    I began his early training (训练)in a park when he was about 6 months old. I used anything I could find to make him jump. I used lots of food to train Dusty to practice jumping happily again and again. These months, I'm training Dusty to sit. It is easier for me. Let me show you how to do it.

    To train your dog to sit, just give him a treat-a piece of dog food will work, say "sit," hold it up and move it back over his head. Most dogs will just sit so they can watch the food. When the dog sits, give him the treat and say "good sit."

    If dogs don't sit when you hold the treat over their heads, you can push（推）their heads down. Remember to treat them when the dog's hindquarters（臀部及后腿）touch the ground.

One day a rich man meets Tom. The rich man asks, “People say you are very clever(聪明的) and nothing is difficult(困难的) for you. Can you tell my why you are so clever? ” Tom answers with a smile, “Oh, I’m not clever. Instead(反而) , you are too foolish.” The rich man becomes very very angry.
Tom says, “Sir, please don’t be angry. If you don’t believe me, now let me ask you a very easy question: If you have a group（群）of sheep(绵羊), I send you another group. Then, you say, how many groups of sheep do you have?”
“Why! That’s the easiest question in the world. One and one is two. Anybody knows that. I have two groups of sheep , of course.”
Tom laughs and says, “You are wrong , Sir. Two groups of sheep put together is still one group. That’s the easiest question in the world , isn’t it?”
