As usual, Betty was sitting alone during break. As she sat, she heard a quiet “meow” nearby and found a little cat with a band showing the name “Lucky”.
She picked up the cat and went to ask her teacher if she could help the cat find his home as a class project.
“Are you willing to organize this project?” Mrs. Smith asked. She had tried for months to get Betty to speak up in class, but Betty had stayed quiet. Maybe this was her chance to shine!
Betty thought for a moment and then said, “Okay, we need to put up signs around the neighborhood and call the local newspaper.”
Tony also suggested that they call the Animals’ Home.
Soon students were busy drawing posters. Two students were making phone calls. Mrs. Smith was surprised to find Betty was so confident and really showed an ability to lead.
Betty, however, was not thinking about being a leader or being shy. Her mind was on finding this lost cat’s home.
The two students making phone calls came back and announced, “The Animals’ Home said that a family reported a lost cat named Lucky! They said they’d call the family to come and get him!” The class cheered.
Ten minutes later, a woman showed up and said with joy, “Thank you for returning Lucky! He was very ‘lucky’ to have been found by such a caring group of students!”
The class celebrated their success. Mrs. Smith celebrated, too. Betty sat comfortably with her classmates for the first time, laughing and joking. Mrs. Smith believed it was indeed lucky that Betty had found the cat—lucky for both of them!
27. ______ picked up a little cat during break.
A. Tony B. Lucky C. Smith D. Betty
28. Betty was asked to organize the project because ______.
A. Mrs. Smith wanted to help her change B. Mrs. Smith decided to look after her
C. she loved little animals like cats D. she volunteered to be the leader
29. The class finally found the owner of the cat by ______.
A. putting up some signs B. calling the local newspaper
C. phoning the Animals’ Home D. drawing some posters
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Keeping a Cat B. Finding a Home
