This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 2002. He was different from other dogs because he was born with only two legs. The poor dog, of course, could not walk and even his mother, Sarah, did not want him. His first owner Michael Johnson also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of killing him. But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She decided to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself. She called him “Faith”.
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard (滑板) on the snow to let him feel the movement. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure (诱惑) and reward (奖赏) him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk. Amazingly, after only six months, Faith learned to balance (平衡) on his legs and jump to move forward. After further training in the snow, he could now walk like a person.
Faith loves to walk around now. Wherever he goes, he attracts people’s attention. He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows. A book named With a Little Faith is now being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.
Jude Stringfellow, his present owner, has stopped working and plans to take him around the world to tell people “that even without a perfect body, one can have a strong will (意志)”.
Faith is a good example of the strong will and wonder of life. In life there are always unpleasant things. So, in order to feel better, you just need to look at life from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.

For years I went to school by bus, so I met many “familiar” strangers. We took the same bus but didn’t know each other’s names. I used to think it was impossible for us to be true friends. How wrong I was! Smiles from the “nameless” people have changed my thoughts.
The first time on the bus, I saw different faces, we met, greeted and cold faces turned into smiling faces. As days went on, we chatted like old friends.
But I felt it a pity that I was unable to set up the same friendship with a silent girl in the front of the bus. Her old clothing suggested that she didn’t have much money, but she always took a cup of water for the driver. I guessed she was a kind girl. But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us? Why did she never reply to our friendly greetings? Couldn’t she smile?
Then, one evening, I got the answer. I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree, lonely and sad. I greeted her with the same warm smile that I had shown to her all these months, but this time her face turned red, then a shy smile appeared. As soon as she began her first words, I understood why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.
I learned her story: Her parents worked hard somewhere. She lived with her disabled grandparents. She said ,“I can’t express myself very well. Most of the time, I can’t say what I want to say. I have no friends but… you always smile to me like an angel, so I also want to smile.” That evening, we exc hanged our names and we said goodbye like old friends.
Smile is the key to opening the door of heart; it can break the cold walls in front of us.
66. All the following words can describe the girl Except.
A. silent
B. kind
C. proud
D. poor

B. The girl was too shy to talk with others.
C. The writer got to know the name of the girl that evening.
D. The writer can’t make friends with those nameless people on the bus now.
70. The main idea of the passage is that .
A. we should help those silent people
B. smiles can deal with every difficulty we meet
C. we should smile to the nameless people on the bus
D. smiles can help us get closer and understand each other better
