三、阅读理解
It is a book about friendship, loyalty and teamwork. It will make you laugh and cry and give you hope.
Co-written by Jessica Kensky and her husband Patrick Downes, the picture book, Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship, tells the story of a girl named Jessica who is dealing with the loss of her legs. Rescue, her service dog, discovers that he can be a good friend and help Jessica get through hard times.
The book is illustrated by Scott Magoon, whose drawings show how Rescue works alongside Jessica. "He can pick up the phone and bring it to her if she needs it," Magoon said. "He can even open doors for her or call for help if she is in trouble."
The story doesn't discuss the bomb attack at the Boston Marathon, which took place at the finish line, killing three people and injuring hundreds of others. But readers learn in the authors' note that Downes and Kensky are among those injured. Kensky lost both legs and Downes lost his left leg.
It took two years to write the book, and two more to publish it. "The best part was having a good distraction(分散注意力的事) from the really hard times I was having during my recovery," Kensky said.
Downes described how Rescue helped them. "When we're sad, he makes funny sounds and makes us laugh," Downes said. "He is also there to help us celebrate good times. If you have a friend, though things might be hard, you can overcome them together."
Downes and Kensky and their picture book stand for "Boston Strong". Downes explained the term, "It brought people together after the bombing and brought out the best in everyone. When people needed it the most, we took care of each other."
