Prince was a dog. His owner, Julie, was an exchange student from
“Just for a couple of weeks,” she 38 me, “until I can figure something else out.”
But after several weeks, Julie asked us to keep her dog forever. Of course, she didn’t have to push too hard 39 we had all fallen in love with this little dog. 40 , we weren’t too crazy about his name. “Prince” 41 so formal. It was more like the 42 of a German shepherd (德国牧羊犬). Although we all 43 to come up with a name more fitting, we seemed to be stuck with “Prince”.
Before long Prince showed some of his princely 44 to our family. It started when our younger son Luke was sick in bed. Prince didn’t usually go 45 where the boys’ rooms were. He usually 46 to me like glue since I was the one who fed him. But on that 47 day, when I went upstairs to check Luke’s fever, I found that Prince was 48 beside my sick boy. He didn’t leave Luke’s side until Luke began feeling better.
The same thing happened 49 . Whenever anyone in our family was sick, Prince would be right by that person’s side 50 it was his job to take care of them until they recovered. It was incredible to see this normally 51 dog put aside his romping （玩耍的）needs to display his 52 for a sick family member.
Our little Prince lived for nearly sixteen years. He 53 loyal to our family the entire time. Even in his final days, when he was in pain, I knew he would 54 his life for any of us. By then we had all realized that he had been named 55 -- for he truly was a Prince among dogs.

A five-story U.N. building was also brought down by the 7.3 magnitude quake, the most powerful to hit Haiti in more than 200 years according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
As night fell, the whole city is in total darkness. You can see thousands of people sitting in the streets with nowhere to go. There are people running, crying, screaming. Describing the earthquake as a "catastrophe", Haiti’s president said the cost of the damage could run into billions.

All day long he flew, and at night-time he arrived at the city. “Where shall I put up?” he said; “I hope the town has made preparations.”
Then he saw the statue(雕像) on the tall column.
“I will put up there, ” he cried; “it is a fine position, with plenty of fresh air.” So he flew down and settled just between the feet of the Happy Prince.
“I have a golden bedroom,” he said softly to himself as he looked around, and he prepared to go to sleep; but just as he was putting his head under his wing, a large drop of water fell on him.
“What a curious thing!” he cried; “there is not a single cloud in the sky, the stars are quite clear and bright, and yet it is raining. The climate in the north of Europe is really terrible. ”
Then another drop fell.
“What is the use of a statue if it cannot keep the rain off?” he said; “I must look for a good chimney-pot,” and he determined to fly away.
But before he had opened his wings, a third drop fell, and he looked up, and saw –AH! What did he see?
The eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden cheeks. His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity.
“Who are you? ” he said.
“ I am the Happy Prince. ”
“ Why are you weeping(哭泣) then?” asked the Swallow; “you have quite wetted me.”
“When I was alive and had a human heart, ” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived in Palace of Sans-Souci(无忧宫)，where sorrow is not allowed to enter. In the daytime I played with my companions in the garden, and in the evening I led the dance in the Great Hall. Round the garden ran a very high wall, but I never cared to ask what lay beyond it, everything about me was so beautiful. People called me the Happy Prince, and happy indeed I was, if pleasure be happiness. So I lived, and so I died. And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugliness and all the misery of my city, and though my heart is made of lead(铅), yet I can’t choose but weep.”
“ What! Is he not solid gold? ” said the Swallow himself. He was too polite to make any personal remarks out loud.

B. Because the statue couldn’t keep the rain off though made of gold.
C. Because he thought it was raining despite bright and clear stars.
D. Because he couldn’t understand why the Happy Prince was weeping.
