th it anymore, Marino said. He wrote a goodbye note, grabbed a knife and went outside for a final cigarette in the rain. But then, from the deepest depth of despair came hope. Meowing out of the bushes next to him came a stray black and white kitten (小貓) which, according to Marino, just walked up and started rubbing up against my leg and let me pet him. I came to life again and I broke down crying. I burst into tears. From this accidental encounter everything changed. Marino found a new purpose in life through the friendly cat, who he named Scout, and who he credits with saving his life. I stopped thinking about all my problems, and started thinking about all his problems, and what I could do to help him, Marino said. The bond between them was instant,but that wasn39。t the end of the story. Marino has made a video of his and Scout39。s remarkable story of healing and heartbreak which you can watch on the Internet. The story is dedicated to showing how animals can help humans through tough times, as well as humans can help them. It is a beautiful story that is sure to tug at your heart strings, showing just how powerful the bond between humans and animals can be.

I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登記)in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. Yes. His voice forted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn39。t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn39。t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn39。t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, It39。s still fourth period. But the bell just rang, I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, That is the lunch bell, young man. I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn39。t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn39。t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn39。t so bad.(1)The author attended an American high school because _______.
