V. Reading comprehension:
A. Choose the best answer:
When I was a puppy, I let you happy and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad,” you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you ”—but then you’d become tender and roll me over for a belly rub.
My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream, and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a “dog person”—still I welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I loved their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them. As they began to grow, I became their friend. I loved everything about them, especially their touch—because your touch was now so often.　
Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you will be moving to an apartment that not allow pets. You’ve made the right decisions for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said “I know you will find a good home for her”. They shrugged (耸肩) and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with “papers”.
Is it better to live with hope or without hope Sometimes when I hear human footsteps, I think it is you, or perhaps another human who will love me. It never is. Then I feel terrible. My beloved Master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more loyalty (忠诚) from your family than I showed to you.

D. Answer the questions:
Trees play a special role in my life. I never picture the house without the trees. There was a row of poplars in my first childhood home, but bark beetles had taken their toll on our once-lovely 18-metre-tall trees.
Out on the farm, my grandparents always cut a Christmas tree from the fields. They were always short and had needles that left scratch marks on our arms. Those trees were a family tradition and I can still recall their smell all these years later.
A huge willow tree once stood in the backyard as well. The kids had a treehouse in it for a long time. Other kids in the neighbourhood enjoyed it too. But the old willow rotted from the inside out and had to be taken down. The kids are in their 30s now, and they’re still upset about the willow. There’s a sadness to a fallen tree; to the sound it makes when it hits the ground.
My husband and I were working as newspaper photographers when the active volcano Mt. St. Helens exploded. Many nearby forests were completely destroyed by the effects of the explosion.
Trees tend to be symbols of strength and beauty. The death of a tree is a reminder of our own weaknesses. The trees returned to Mt. St. Helens—and they returned faster than the experts predicted. To all who had witnessed the devastation, the regrowth was encouraging. Those small trees reminded us of the beauty of new beginnings.
