Long ago, Jim's father gave him a dog as a gift for his seventh birthday. Jim named the dog Brownie. Soon, Jim and Brownie became very good friends.
There was a river near Jim's house. （A）他常常和朋友们去那里钓鱼。 One day, Jim took Brownie to go fishing. He wanted to show Brownie his fishing. After waiting for a short time, he felt something from under the water. Believing it must be a very big fish, Jim got very excited. He tried his best to pull (拉) the fish up out of the water, but it wouldn't move. Because of the strong pull, Jim lost his balance (失去平衡) and fell into the water. Sadly, he didn't know how to swim. He cried but soon went down.
As Jim woke up again, he felt the warmth on his face. Brownie was licking (舔) his face non-stop. He was trying to wake him up. Then Jim found himself on the river bank. On his shirt, there were some big holes. Seeing that, Jim smiled and hugged (拥抱) Brownie at once. （B）How happy he was!
