Ⅲ. When I take a walk around the park, I often see many people walking with dogs. Perhaps a dog is one of the most useful animals in the world. People keep dogs for different reasons. In the past many people kept dogs mainly for their safety. But now more and more people keep dogs as their friends. For a child, a dog is a friend when he has no other children to play with. For young people, a dog is their friend when they are alone at home. For old people, a dog is their child when their own children grow up and leave home. Now you can see the reasons why people keep dogs.
Ⅳ. All my classmates are volunteers. Nick enjoys playing football and he teaches the young children how to play football. Dave loves animals and on weekends he works in the zoo or animal hospitals. John likes reading funny stories and he is good at telling stories and jokes, so he often visits sick kids in hospital to cheer them up. Sally likes painting, so she paints for the school newspaper. Anna loves singing and she sings for the old people or sings to raise money for homeless people. All of them are very happy because they can offer their help to others.

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution(污染). Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾).
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. On the third Saturday in December, Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter（交款处）and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went home to home collecting blankets（毯子）and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

B. Because she always paid money for others.
C. Because she collected clothes for the homeless.
