A
Edward Latter, five, thought his dog Morse was
gone for ever after cruel thieves took him away when
the dog escaped from his home.
The 10monthold dog had been missing since December and the brokenhearted boy even wrote a heartbreaking letter to Santa and posted it to Lapland asking for his pal back for Christmas.

A £10,000 reward was offered by millionaire Simon Cowell after he read about the horrific theft. Cowell said: “It's heartbreaking to see a little boy's Christmas ruined. Dogs are so important to many of us. We just hope it helps lead to the safe return of Morse.”
His parents, Amanda Hopkins and Richard Latter, had given up hope of ever seeing their pet again, until they got a call on Friday night. A couple 20 miles away from their home in Marden, Kent, had found a muddy dog walking through their street and thought it could be missing Morse. They brought the Morse in, washed him, and then called Mr Latter who was unsure until he was sent a photo, and then drove the family to the village of Meopham.

The theatre carpenter, 40, said: “Amanda and I were still quite sceptical, but Edward saw him and recognised him straight away. He was absolutely over__the__moon. He said:‘I can't believe it. I have my best friend back. It's too late for Christmas but this is the best present ever.’ We were still unsure if it was him though—as he wasn't responding to his name or coming to us.”
“We spent about an hour and half over there and we still were not sure, so we took him home to get his chip scanned. It was only when we took him to the vets on Saturday morning and got his chip scanned that we found out for sure. We instantly broke down in tears. We were just hugging each other, hugging Edward and hugging the dog.” Added Richard.

In Armenia, when a baby's first tooth arrives, often
in four to seven months, a celebration takes place known
as the “agra hadig” or “atam hatik”. As part of the
celebration, objects (物品) related to different professions
(职业) are placed in front of a child. Whichever object a
baby chooses first is thought to be a sign of where the child's professional talent lies.
With the appearance of teeth, a child can begin to eat solid food. It is believed to be a proper time to predict what the future holds.

“Parents may ‘arrange’ the future life of their children by offering only those objects that stand for respectable professions,” said Professor Antonyan from Yerevan State University. “A book for a writer; a pencil for an artist or a designer; a coin for a businessman.” Parents can also game the selection by putting objects nearer to or farther from their kids' reach. At one recent celebration, “the father of the baby asked to place a ladle (长柄勺) a bit far from his daughter to save her from a future of a housewife,” Antonyan said.
课时作业(七)
18
In the earliest written records of the event, from the 19th century, just two objects were put before the teething child. But the prediction then was not about an adult profession. In the event, holding a knife meant a brother was on the way, a comb or a mirror a sister.
“The prediction for the future profession was developed in the modernized environment of Soviet Armenia when the future career would determine the baby's life,” Antonyan said. Today, teethshaped cakes, toys and balloons are popular party favors at these celebrations.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述Armenia(亚美尼亚)为初长牙的小孩子举行的传统庆典,形式类似于中国的“抓周”。
