Four days after Dad's 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor's orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visit him. Dad was left alone.

    So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.

    One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer's eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.

    A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we've heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”

    I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you're going to kill him?”

    “Ma'am,” he said gently. “We don't have room for every unclaimed dog.”

    The staff member's calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I'll take him,” I said.

    I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.

    Dad wrinkled his face. “I don't want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.

    Dad's anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.

    This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.

    Dad's bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne's cold nose burrowing(搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father's room and found that he had passed away.

    Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad's bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad's peace of mind.

材料一：“二十四节气”形成于中国黄河流域，以观察该区域的天象、气温、降水和物候的时序变化为基准，作为农耕社会生产生活的时间指南，逐步为全国各地所采用；是中国人通过观察太阳周年运动，认知一年中时令、气候、物候等方面变化规律所形成的知识体系和社会实践；指导着传统农业生产和日常生活，是中国传统历法体系及其相关实践活动的重要组成部分。在国际气象界，这一时间认知体系被誉为“中国的第五大发明”。

材料二：“儒家思想吧”上，网友们关于儒家思想的节选：

网友甲：儒家思想与封建统治相结合带有愚昧的色彩，不适合当今的时代。

网友乙：儒家思想是以孔子为先师、以“儒”为共同认可符号的各种思想道德准则，儒家思想与时迁移、应物变化，顺应社会发展和时代要求而不断发展更新，具有长久的生命力。

网友丙：儒家将女子与小人并列来对待。古代儒家提倡男人做君子，不做小人，将女子和小人并列，有低看之意，所谓唯女子与小人难养也。

网友丁：儒家思想正视文明的多样性，不是消除文明之间的差异，而是提倡相互交流、互相借鉴。儒家这种“以和为贵”“兼容并包”的思想。为解决世界文化冲突提供了一条可行之路。
