2句意:埃菲尔铁塔设计的初衷是参加世界博览会。

【题目】Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)

I’ve always known that dogs are intelligent animals, but even I was surprised when I heard about a dog called Red, at the Battersea Dogs’ Home in London.

The Home has been caring for lost and unwanted animals for over 140 years. R1, the staff there got a shock when they came to work in the morning. They found that some of the dogs had got out of their kennels during the night, opened cupboards and taken out food and toys. And it happened again, and again. The manager, Becky Blackmore, d2 that the only way to solve the mystery was to put in cameras to record how the dogs were getting out.

When she and her staff played back the recording, they saw Red, a three-year old lurcher, put his nose through the bars of his kennel and use his teeth to press the button that opened his door. That was c3 enough, but Red did more: he unlocked the kennels next to his and let those dogs out too. The group went along the corridor, broke into cupboards and s4 dog biscuits and toys to play with.

Becky Blackmore said, ‘It’s surprising, because lurchers aren’t famous for their intelligence. It’s a5 that he worked out how to open his own kennel, but also that he then let all his friends out.’ Like most of us, I suppose, Red didn’t like to have a party a6!

Red, a lurcher, opening a kennel

The story has a happy ending: after Red was shown on television, several people came forward and offered to give him a new home as a family pet. ‘We are very happy about this,’ said a member of staff at the Dogs’ Home. ‘Lurchers are usually difficult to find homes for. When Red arrived here four months ago, he was very thin and in poor c7. Now he can look forward to a comfortable new life with an owner who wants him.
