Working as a vet (獸醫(yī)), I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson. They came to my clinic with their dying dog Coco. I examined Coco and found he was old and had a serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia (安樂死) would be best for the dog.

On that day, they little boy Eric seemed so calm , petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.

The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco's death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.

Eric, who had been listening quietly, piped up: "I know why."

He said, "People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.

American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English．

1.Often, Americans don’t say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”．Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．

Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．2. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries．

3.In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”．In America, you “give them a call”．

There are also some differences in grammar．For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question．They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb．4.

Most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．5.Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France．

A. English is widely used in China．

B. It can also happen to other languages, such as French．

C. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different.
