When he was 12 years old, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed        to him.

His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not       to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. One of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to        , she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” She said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. It was the first time that he had heard such kind words. He watched her      she went far away, and then he whistled（低语）to his dog and went directly to the river     .

“Thanks, dear! You are a nice little boy!” He repeated what the woman said. Then in a low    he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog.” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.

“Hmm! Even a dog likes it!”he said. “Well, Tige, I won’t say anything unkind to you   .” Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw      but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he saw a       nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he started a new life.

Do you still remember the terrible earthquake in 2008 in Sichuan, which killed at least 87,000 people and left millions homeless? On the twelfth day after the earthquake, Premier Wen Jiabao said, “A new Wenchuan will rise from the ruins（废墟）.” Now his words have come true. Three years has passed and the worst-hit areas in Sichuan have risen from the ruins.
So far, 95% of the reconstruction projects（重建项目）have been completed. Nearly 3,000 schools, 1,000 hospitals and more than 5 million homes have been built. Now everyone has been provided with a home, a job and social security（社保）.

Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us something to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. A sick person does not get well. The pain doesn’t go away. There was such man. He was in hospital, but he wasn’t well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor（幽默）. He saw funny films. He read funny books. And he liked to learn something interesting. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. And he told his story in a book. He said that laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so, too.

Another man was ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors could not stop it from hurting. So the man began to “picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined（想象） it as a real dog. And it was biting（咬） his back. It was hurting him. Then the man talked softly to the dog. He put his hand on the dog’s head. He made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!
