When I was a boy，I used to love walking in the ___around my house．My mom warned me several times___to travel so far or I would lose the way．Being a naughty（淘气的）boy，however，I soon found ___ walking further and further away，testing__I could go into the woods without getting lost．But once after losing my way for two hours,I decided to leave a mark the next time I went for a walk．

The next day I decided to try it．I walked into the woods_the house couldn't be seen．Then I broke a small branch（树枝）to mark my place．I walked further and broke many branches．After a while I got tired and decided to return．When I turned around，I ___ found my way home，but I felt___ rather than being proud．I could see the mark of destruction（破坏）that I left in the woods．I promised never to do that again．Instead，I started to value my time alone in the woods．I'd sit by the streams（小溪）and ___ their beautiful singing．I'd bend down（弯下腰）to ___ the flowers．

I've tried to leave marks of kindness and goodness since then．I've tried to show others ____they can do the same．May you always leave marks of joy in your life．

Humans can go to the hospital when they're ill．But as for animals，what should they do？To stay healthy，animals have their own ways to heal（治愈）themselves．Now let's get to know their special skills．

       Skill One

   What are the basic ingredients（要素）of good manners？A strong sense of fairness is one of them．

A friend once told me an experience that he had．When he was driving along a one-lane（单行小路），unpaved（未铺路的）mountain road,the car ahead of his produced clouds of choking dust（呛人的尘土），and it was a long way to the nearest paved main road．Suddenly,the car ahead stopped at a wider place on the road．My friend thought there must be something wrong with the car ahead．He stopped and asked if anything was wrong． "No，" said the other driver． "But you've endured my dust so far．I'll endure yours the rest of the way．"

Another ingredient is empathy（同情心）．It makes a person see into the mind or heart of someone else．Recently I happened to read such a story in a book．

A man was having dinner alone,and he was trying to open a bottle．But he failed．Then he asked a waiter for help．The waiter took the bottle,turned his back and opened it without difficulty．Then the waiter closed it again and turned back．He pretended（假装）to make a great effort to open the bottle without success．Finally he took it into the kitchen and returned very soon．He told the man that he managed to open it，but only with a tool．

Yet another ingredient is the ability to treat people alike（一视同仁）．No matter who he is and what he does，everyone is worth respecting．

   When you are waiting on a phone call with a pen in your hand or feeling bored on a train，you may probably doodle（涂鸦）．Consultant Graphology（笔迹咨询师）Tracey has studied the most common doodles and their meaning in a new piece of research．Here she shares the psychology（心理学）behind those doodles．

Circles  Drawing round shapes expresses the need to love and be loved．

Squares  If you're drawing squares，then this shows a practical（脚踏实地的）nature．

Triangles  If you're drawing triangles，his shows you are an energetic and powerful nature．

Flowers  If your flower has a large round centre，this expresses confidence and the enjoyment of a good social life．

Hearts  Hearts have always been symbols of love．It clearly expresses that you pay much attention to feelings，but easily get sad as well．

Coils（线圈）  Drawing these complicated（复杂的）shapes means the doodlers have a colorful life and the ability of creativity．What unusual doodles they are!

Webs  This kind of doodles may be unusual and complicated，but drawing webs shows special personalities that are good at leading people to a special situation．

Boxes  It's not good news for people who draw boxes．Because Tracey believes that while this shows great dreams，it can also be a sign of materialism（物质主义）．

   When I was four，I played outside in the yard．I saw my grandpa's truck and thought，Grandpa shouldn't have to drive such an ugly truck．Then I found a gallon of paint（一加仑油漆）．I had a good idea! I got a brush and painted white polka dots（波点）all over the truck．（64）I was painting the truck in the garden when he walked outside．He was surprised to see the truck． "Angela，（65）it's the prettiest truck that I've ever seen!" he said．Sometimes I think adults don't stop to see things through a child's eyes．But my grandpa is different．He could have punished me．Instead，he didn't．
