    Last summer vacation, I volunteered to work at a vet’s（兽医诊所）. There I saw a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Short thin curly hair covered her sausage-shaped（香肠形）body. Her eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat’s tail.
    She was brought to the vet because her owners didn’t want her any more. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though. “No one should judge her by her looks,”I thought. Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local paper. “Funny-looking dog, well-behaved, needs a loving family.”
    When a boy called, I warned him that Minnie was strange-looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car pulled up in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They picked Minnie up and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She licked（舔）his face. Her tail wagged（摇摆）around so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body.
    “She’s perfect!”the old man said happily.
    I was thankful that Minnie had found a good home.
    Suddenly, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.
    【小题1】The last three sentences in the first paragraph tell us      .
    A．how funny Minnie looked
    B．how well Minnie behaved
    C．Minnie was a beautiful dog
    D．Minnie was dying
    【小题2】 Why did the writer advertise Minnie in the local newspaper?
    A．Because he wanted to sell her at a good price.
    B．Because he didn’t want her any more, either.
    C．Because he wanted to find a family for her.
    D．Because he wanted to have another dog.
    【小题3】Why did the boy who called the writer want Minnie?
    A．Because he loved all kinds of dogs very much.
    B．Because he had seen Minnie and loved her very much.
    C．Because his grandfather’s dog was too old.
    D．Because his grandfather’s dog had just died.
    【小题4】The underlined word “stroke”may mean      .

    【小题5】Which of the following is TRUE?

    B．The old man couldn’t see how funny Minnie looked.
    C．Minnie knew very well how to make others dislike her.

    An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day’s hard work. When he was not far from his house, the light on the cart went out. He tried but could not mend (修理) it. He was near his home, and so he went along the road without a light. When a policeman saw this, he stopped the old carter.

    “Where is your light?” asked the policeman. “No man may take a cart along the road at night without a light. You know that. You have broken the law (法律).”“I had a light, but it has just gone out,” said the old man.

    “You came all the way without a light. What’s your name?”

    The carter quickly took the policeman’s hand and put it down on top of the light. The light was still hot and burnt the policeman’s hand. The policeman jumped and he was very angry. “Now, what do you think?” said the carter. “Did I come all the way without a light?”
