2．　　Once upon a time, there lived a wise man. His son, however, was very lazy.
　　The man was worried about his son's future. And he recognized the need to give something to his son so that he could take care of himself.
　　One day, the man said to his son, "I want you to find the real purpose of your life." Then he handed his son a map and asked him to find the treasure.
　　The son set out the next day. Along the way, he met a lot of people. Some helped him with food, and some with shelter (住所) . Finally, after a long year, he reached the place. But he found nothing.
　　On his way back, he went through the same places. But this time, he stopped to enjoy the beauty of nature. He learned how to hunt, cook, and protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people, who had helped him earlier, and this time he helped them in return.
　　When he reached home, he apologized (道歉) to his father for not finding the treasure.
　　"There wasn't any treasure, my son." the man answered with a smile.
　　"But why did you send me to find it?" he asked.
　　Instead of answering the question, the father said, "how was your journey to the place?"
　　"I didn't enjoy it at all !Because I was in a hurry looking for the treasure. But I did enjoy the journey on my way back home. I made many friends and I learned so many sills, which made me forget the pain of not finding the treasure."
　　His father said to him, "now I think you have found your life's true purpose. I want you to lead your life with a goal. But if you remain too focused (专注 ) on your goal, you will miss out the real treasure of life, that is to, just experience it and grow with it every single day."

3．　　Today, by carefully choosing dog parents, humans have created many different kinds of dogs. Each kind has its own look and talents and its own role within human society. Here are three examples of "a dog's life" in the human world.
　　Today, many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love and cheer to patients. Shaynee is a therapy (治疗) dog. She visits children who are in hospital. Dogs like Shaynee help patients feel calm and at peace which can be hard in a busy hospital. They help both children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays, and, some suggest, even help them get better.
Today some beagles (小猎犬) work in airports for the government. They are part of the program called the Beagle Brigade. A beagle is good for the work because of its powerful nose, and ability to follow smells. The Beagle Brigade's job is to smell everything that comes into the country. They make officers notice illegal (非法的) fruits, vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail. The beagles do the job far better than any human could.
　　While some dogs are working hard, others are free to spend their days resting and playing. Across the world, many pet dogs are treated like children. Many have their own rooms and all the things a dog could want. Some even have their own clothes. Many of these pets spend their days playing, learning to follow or even going to classes. Their owners give them the best, and enjoy doing so.
　　Whether as workers or objects of affection (钟情) , dogs have become helpful to humans in many ways. There are plenty of advantages for the dog, too. Many kinds of wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the Earth. However, the domestic dog's special place as "man's best find" has allowed it to survive (存活) in a human world.
