Question

【题目】When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called”Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go t whoever was sick ad just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up () one of Dad's shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said “Bad girl”, she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet; she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we'd be out walking and as mal child would come over ad pulled her hair. She never barked or tried to get away. The funny thing is that she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loves everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss those days when she was with us.

【2】细节理解题。从第二段最后“…she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I say a tear in her eyes.”可以推断出它为做错事感到悲伤。

【3】判断推理题。通过对全文的理解和倒数第二段的提示“There were many times when…”可以推断出它为人们所喜爱。

【4】细节理解题。文中“The funny thing is that she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth.”是本题的答案。她“露出牙齿”吓到了大家，其实她是在“笑”。
