It was Monday, Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: "Give my dog half a pound of meat." Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: Take this to the butcher(卖肉者), and he's going to give you your lunch to- day.
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's shop. It gave the pa- per to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's hand- writing and presently did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.
At midday(正午), the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper a- gain. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of pa- per in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(顾客).
But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o' clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, "This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?"
Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!
Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite ______.
A. cruelly
B. kindly
C. badly
D. unfairly

Early on Saturday morning Ann brought her nephew(侄子) Sam to her friends, Bill and Kate, and asked them to look after him for the day. Sam, an independent boy of six years old, had black hair and was wearing a.pair of jeans(工装裤) and a bright yellow shirt.
At eleven o' clock Bill took Sam into town. Sam walked along behind Bill, looking at the windows of all the shops they passed. After lunch they went to the park and walked about. The whole place was very crowded. Bill stopped to buy some chocolate. When he turned round to give some to Sam, the boy wasn't there. Bill ran round calling Sam, but he couldn't find him. About an hour later, just in front of a shop, he saw the black hair, the pair of jeans and the bright yellow shirt. The boy looked as if he was waiting for someone to come out of the shop. Bill ran across the road, took the boy by the hand and hurried off, as it was quite late. The boy. began to cry and pull hard, but Bill, who didn’t know much about children, couldn’t under- stand a word the boy was saying. All the boy made a lot of noise.
When they got home at last, Bill went straight to the kitchen, with the boy still crying. At the door Bill stopped in amazement. There, sitting at the kitchen table with Kate, was a small boy with black hair, in a pair of jeans and a bright yellow shirt.
