My parents took it somewhere because they didn't like cats. They believed that a cat might bother them and they never allowed me to get a pet inside of the house.
But now, there are cats at my_parents'_home,_and they like cats very much. The first cat we had changed their mind, and she was the best cat we have ever had.
The name of the cat was Mar. When I was a university student, I lived in an apartment alone far away from my parents. I hadn't forgotten my_dream which was to have_a_cat,_so I decided to have a cat and hide it from my parents. I asked my friends if anybody had a kitty, and one of them gave it to me. I liked her short, gray hair and her eyes; one was blue, and the other one was green. In China, it is said that to have a cat whose eyes are different colors is lucky. I also liked her long, straight tail.
It was so easy to_live_with her. She was well mannered, and she was very quiet and calm. At first, I was afraid that she couldn't meow because I didn't hear her voice at all. When I took her to an_animal_hospital,_they told me she had to have an injection (注射). She was calm, but at that time, she only made just a small voice.
Living alone changed for me once I had Mar. She was always beside me, and I felt comfortable_and_peaceful. I didn't know how wonderful it is to have a pet until I met Mar. I felt like we had a bond which was not like the one between friends, but like the one between family members. She was not only my pet, but also she became something special for me.

第二节：读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I like cats. When I was a child, I used to ask my_parents to have a_cat,_but they never allowed me to have one. Whenever I brought a stray (走失的) cat home, the next morning it was gone. My parents took it somewhere because they didn't like cats. They believed that a cat might bother them and they never allowed me to get a pet inside of the house.
But now, there are cats at my_parents'_home,_and they like cats very much. The first cat we had changed their mind, and she was the best cat we have ever had.
The name of the cat was Mar. When I was a university student, I lived in an apartment alone far away from my parents. I hadn't forgotten my_dream which was to have_a_cat,_so I decided to have a cat and hide it from my parents. I asked my friends if anybody had a kitty, and one of them gave it to me. I liked her short, gray hair and her eyes; one was blue, and the other one was green. In China, it is said that to have a cat whose eyes are different colors is lucky. I also liked her long, straight tail.
It was so easy to_live_with her. She was well mannered, and she was very quiet and calm. At first, I was afraid that she couldn't meow because I didn't hear her voice at all. When I took her to an_animal_hospital,_they told me she had to have an injection (注射). She was calm, but at that time, she only made just a small voice.
Living alone changed for me once I had Mar. She was always beside me, and I felt comfortable_and_peaceful. I didn't know how wonderful it is to have a pet until I met Mar. I felt like we had a bond which was not like the one between friends, but like the one between family members. She was not only my pet, but also she became something special for me.

参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
One year after Mar began to live with me, I graduated from my university and decided to go back to my hometown. I had to tell my_parents I had a cat. I took Mar to my_parents'_home three months before I moved. They didn't accept Mar willingly, but finally they felt it easy to_live_with her because she was different from their image of cats. They didn't know there could be such a quiet and smart cat, which never bother them. They didn't know how nice it is to have a cat until then.
Paragraph 2：
While I returned to my apartment to prepare to move, a terrible thing happened. My mother called me, crying, and said Mar had been run over by a car and killed. My parents apologized again and again. We all couldn't stop crying. Especially, my mother's sadness was very deep, the same as mine, because Mar had always been with her since she had been in their home. Then my mother asked me to have another cat like Mar.
