19．Sam，an unemployed piano tuner，said it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life．The first thing was an Afghan blanket at a church raffle（抽奖） when he was 25 years old．But this was much bigger：it was﹩120，000!He had won the Big Cube，a state lottery（彩票） game．To win，a contestant must first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on．The cube has six numbers on it：1X，10X，50X，100X，500X，and 1000X．If he is correct，the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables（变量） is going to be greater．So，just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that you will win any money．
Sam correctly guessed 1000X，but he still had to choose between two variables．One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours．The other variable was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period．This was a tough decision．
Finally，Sam flipped a coin．It came up heads，so Sam picked the teenager．He picked right．The stop sign was run only 76 times，but the teen clicked 120 times．Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy，for he had just won 1000 times 120，or﹩120，000．Sam dreamily left the lottery studio．Talking excitedly on his cell phone while crossing the street，he got hit by a little sports car．
Sam is slowly getting better．He was in the hospital for a month．His hospital bill was﹩110，000．And the insurance company for the little sports car's owner sued（起诉）Sam for﹩9，000 worth of repairs．Also，Sam still has to pay federal taxes on his winnings．Sam doesn't play the state lottery any more．He says it's better to be unlucky．

15．I've been told that in China，having a pet，particularly a dog，is often considered to be a status（地位）symbol because it shows the family can afford to have an animal．It's very different here．
In Canada it's common to have pets．Many people have dogs；many others have cats，fish，birds or rabbits．Some keep what we call exotic（奇异的）pets，although keeping exotic animals is difficult，and because it can also be hard on the animals，the keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law．Some people do it anyway．
I like animals．As far back as I can remember my family has always had cats．Our cats．of course，wanted to go outside and it seemed reasonable to let them wander the neighborhood finding birds to run after，trees to climb and sunny places to sleep．As we always lived in a city，however，there was a problem．I remember more than once losing a cat that was killed by a car and it was heartbreaking．
Now，my wife and I lived in a small town．We no longer have a house-we live in an apartment（公寓）．We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out except onto the halcony（阳台）so cars are no longer a problem．She's about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more．The trouble will come when she dies．We've had a pet for so long that it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the  room it will seem somehow empty．On the other hand，we're getting older and，given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we'll ever have another after Callie goes．
Having a pet is very good for a number of reasons．It helps to teach children how to look after a living creature，makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that，in many ways，we depend on each other．For older people like me an animal is a companion（伙伴）and a comfort to have around．A pet，properly treated，returns the favor by giving back unconditional love．Wouldn't this world be a great place if people could learn how to do that!
