试题分析：文章大意：人有形形色色，动物也一样。那动物与人之间有什么共同点吗？读了这篇文章看看你是什么类型的动物。

1.B 推断题。根据Sheep里的a follower(追随者)，B项中此人开车快是因为他的朋友们都这样，可见他是个追随者。所以答案选B。

2.C 推断题。 行为类似海龟（turtle）的人总是行动缓慢，那么C、“按时到校”可能对他来说就是个问题。所以C正确。

3.A 推理题。根据描述Buddy在周一的表现，讨厌早起，易发脾气等，根据What a crab（蟹） he is! A grouchy（发牢骚的） person; someone who is often angry and in a bad mood.得出答案他是个crab类型的人，所以选择答案D。

4.D 细节题。根据对Jerry的描述，他害怕看医生，说明他refuses to face problems or reality不敢面对困难和现实，这是ostrich的行为。
