　　It is not too difficult to teach your dog to sit on command. Call the dog to you, slip the leash⁴ over its head, and say, “Sit!” Repeat the word, hold the dog’s head up with the leash, and press down on its rump. Reward the dog by giving it a bit of food as soon as it is in a sitting position, and pat it to show that you think it is a good dog. Make the dog remain sitting until you say “Up.” The more often you repeat these words, the less time it will take the dog to understand what it is you want it to do.

　　Bill thought seriously of joining the ever-growing number of Australians flocking to the ports. He was a young man of twenty-two or twenty-three, tall and lean, with a tousled mop of black hair. He liked the outdoors and was used to roughing it. During holidays and whenever he had the spare time he liked to camp in the bush. He fished in rivers and mountain creeks⁶, went for long tramps in the valleys and up the hills, and cooked his meals over a crackling campfire. The thought of going to California and living out in the open near the gold mines. Nothing worried him.

STOPPING BY WAY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING
Whose woods these are I think I know
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse⁸ near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake⁹.
The woods are loved, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
F. Read the following paragraph .
　　As a young girl, Elizabeth Barret raptured¹⁰ a blood vessel¹¹ in the lungs, which did not heal. Her physician consigned¹² her to a milder climate for the winter and she went to Devonshire for restoration. Among the members of her family who accompanied her to those healing shores was her eldest¹³ brother, for a whole year they lived side by side in affectionate companionship, she all the while being greatly benefited by the mild sea breezes of Torquay.
　　One summer morning her brother embarked¹⁴ on board a small sailboat with two friends for a trip of several hours around the coast. Just as the vessel came in sight of the window where Miss Barret set watching, the boat struck a sunken reef, and all who were in it went down and perished in the sea, before assistance could be rendered. None of the bodies were ever found, although the whole village, full of sympathy, assembled in search.
　　This was the tragedy which utterly¹⁵ prostrated¹⁶ for some years afterwards the health and soul of Elizabeth Barret. Somehow she felt that she herself had in some measure been the cause of all this horror, and she suffered accordingly. Her whole being seemed shattered, and a full year elapsed before she was able to be moved to London. This fatal event, which so saddened her youth, gave also a still deeper devotional feeling to her poems. The shadow fell upon her heart, and her spirit, thus chastened, took the hue¹⁷ of sorrow so apparent in many of her earlier pieces.
