Not until recently have I known that a little pet can be such a helpful assistant to a helpless mom. This is all due to what our new family member, a little kitten named Thula, has done. She seems to understand exactly what Iris needs at any given time.
Within a year of my daughter's birth, I already suspected that something was wrong. Even by babies' standards, Iris was a frighteningly bad sleeper. She also appeared unmistakably distant. Besides, after saying “dada” when she was eight months old, she stopped talking. Finally, aged two, she was diagnosed as autistic患自闭症的.
In fact, after a long process of trial and error反复试验, I found activities that obviously did help her, including music and riding on the back of her dad's bike. Above all, Iris showed a remarkable talent for art: producing large multi layered Impressionist style paintings that took her several days and that once led to the Leicester Mercury headline, “Top artist aged 3.”
Iris did make progress, but by no means steadily, with promising developments often followed by periods of regression(退步).
One night, Iris refused to sleep. As her frustrations mounted(增加), she started to cry, and her sobs filled the quiet room. I felt so hopeless as I held her close. Nothing seemed to comfort her apart from her favorite book and I longed for some help, but she pushed away all who tried except me, making me on the edge of breaking down.
Downstairs, my husband looked at Thula in surprise who had suddenly got up off his lap. Her eyes focused on the door and she had one foot raised perfectly poised in the air. Something had grabbed her attention—the crying of Iris. Then her legs were moving fast. Zooming round the corner, she flew up the stairs into Iris‘s bedroom and jumped onto the bed. She curled up next to Iris, ignored the crying and started grooming理毛 herself, licking her paws舔爪子 and rubbing摩擦 them over her ears.

Almost immediately, Iris’s mood changed. Her sobs gradually died down. Then as if by magic, she giggling at Thula’s huge ears as they were folded down forward and then pinged back(弹回). Her eyes glittering with curiosity, Iris put down her favorite book, looking at the kitten with great joy. The little creature made a soft meow, curling itself into a furry little ball. Iris reached out her hands, running her fingers through the puffy fur of the kitten. Feeling the burden on my shoulders taken off, I tiptoed out , waiting at the bottom of the stairs uneasily for the inevitable crying that would force me back. Moments later, there was silence: no giggling, no pages being turned, and no cries.

Sample writing
I was curious about the silence, and then returned to the door of Iris's room and looked in. Iris had a sound sleep with her kitten by her side. Iris's hand rested on Thula's shoulders and I could hear a gentle purr. Although still a tiny kitten and a new member of our family, Thula was already caring for Iris, her faithful companion. For me, a helpless mother, she was also a friend, stepping in and helping when I longed for it the most. I didn't even need to ask, but she knew instinctively what to do and how to help. This magical kitten was changing our lives and this was just the beginning.
P2
睡得很香had fallen into a deep sleep/had fallen asleep
轻微的（猫咪发出的）咕噜声
同位语desperate
渴望
本能地
照顾
忠诚的伙伴
立刻，Iris的情绪发生了变化。她的哭声减小，好像施加了魔法，她对着Thula的大耳朵咯咯笑起来，这时Thula耳朵向前折叠，然后又弹回来. 她的眼睛闪着好奇的光，Iris放下她最喜欢的书，开心地看着小猫。小猫轻轻叫了一声, 蜷成了一个毛茸茸的小球。Iris伸出手，手指抚摸着小猫蓬松的毛。我感觉卸下了肩上的重担，点着脚尖出去。在楼梯底部不安地等待着那不可避免的让我再迫使回到房间的哭声。我抓住机会，溜出房间，在楼梯底下等着，听着不可避免的哭声。片刻之后，一片寂静：没有笑声，没有翻页，也没有哭声。
我对寂静感到好奇，然后回到Iris房门前，往里看。Iris酣睡着，小猫在身边。Iris的手放在Thula的肩膀上，我能听到一声轻柔的咕噜声。虽然Thula还是一只小猫，也是我们家的新成员，但她已经在照顾Iris了。对我这个无助的母亲来说，她也是我的朋友，在我最渴望的时候进来帮助我。我甚至不需要去要求，但她本能地知道该做什么以及如何帮助我。这只神奇的小猫正在改变我们的生活，而这仅仅是一个开始。
