One pint can save up to three dogs. Just like people, the dogs get a snack and a heart-shaped “U of P Blood Donor” sticker after giving. In addition, they receive free dog food to take home.
Sandy Lucas br ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ought her 7-year-old black dog, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week. “I was excited that she had the right blood which could help another dog out,” she said. “We’ll do it again.”

B. Kate, 6 years old, 60 pounds.
C. Tony, 10 years old, 56 pounds.
D. Cindy, 8 years old, 50 pounds.
( )38. What can each dog get after donating blood
①A snack
②A suit of clothes
③Some dog food
④A heart-shaped sticker
⑤A toy car
A. ①②③④ B. ①③⑤
C. ①④⑤ D. ①③④
( )39. What can we infer from the underlined sentence
A. Sandy Lucas feels excited that Raina can help other dogs.
B. Sandy Lucas wants to get dog food for her dog.
C. Sandy Lucas doesn’t think that donating blood is good for dogs.
D. Sandy Lucas doesn’t want to come to the animal bloodmobile again.
( )40. What’s the main idea of the passage
