　　Katharine Mehta's mother likes to joke that the first sentence her daughter said was “I love dogs.” It's not the fact，but it's certainly true in spirit.

　　“When I was young，my grandmother told me about how she sometimes found stray dogs and cats，and kept them on her farm as pets，” says Katharine.“That made me wonder what would happen when animals didn't have a home.I felt horrible thinking that they might be hungry or could get hit by a car.”

　　But what could a little girl do? The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago，where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts，a local nokill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，” she says.

　　Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog，she decided to start a summer dogwalking service.She chose two friends and，with their parents' permission，the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，” she says.“By the end of that summer，we'd collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma，came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling freshbaked shortbread to their neighbors.

　　The 11yearold，who starts sixth grade this fall，has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog，she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”

　　Katharine's passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them，” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”

　　Notes：

　　stray adj.流浪的　②shortbread n.黃油甜酥餅

　　【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文主要講了11歲女孩Katharine是如何關(guān)愛(ài)和幫助流浪狗等小動(dòng)物的。

　　1.Katharine's love of dogs comes from ________.

　　A.her grandmother's influence

　　B.her mother's influence

　　C.the influence of an organization

　　D.seeing a dog killed by a car

　　答案　A　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段可知，Katharine關(guān)心流浪狗是受奶奶的影響。]

　　2.How did Katharine help the organization—Mighty Mutts?

　　A.By walking stray dogs.

　　B.By giving shortbread to stray dogs.

　　C.By collecting money.

　　D.By making speeches everywhere.

　　答案　C　[推理判斷題。由第三、四段可知，Katharine為別人遛狗掙錢(qián)，然后捐給Mighty Mutts，并且經(jīng)常勸說(shuō)養(yǎng)狗的人為Mighty Mutts捐款，故選C。]

　　3.The underlined part “be put to sleep” in the last paragraph means “________”.

　　A.to be supplied with a comfortable place for sleeping

　　B.to be given drugs so that they can die without pain

　　C.to be made unconscious before a medical operation

　　D.to be made to sleep

　　答案　B　[詞義猜測(cè)題。Katharine很有愛(ài)心，非常關(guān)心無(wú)家可歸的小動(dòng)物，所以她一想到流浪的小動(dòng)物被人們用藥物所謂“仁道地”殺死，她就會(huì)心痛地流淚。put to sleep意為“用藥物使(長(zhǎng)眠)，無(wú)痛苦地殺死”。]

　　4.What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A.Katharine and her pets

　　B.An organization for rescuing stray dogs

　　C.Pet dogs are popular with children

　　D.A little girl helps strays

　　答案　D　[主旨大意題。全文主要講述了小女孩Katharine幫助、關(guān)愛(ài)流浪狗，故正確答案為D。]

　　We're fortunate to live along a monarch butterfly migration path.Every fall，thousands of them fly through our backyard，headed south for the winter.We always thought that a butterfly with a broken wing was a sad sight，but one we could do nothing about.We were wrong! Jeannette Brandt was bike riding near Hadley，in the southern Adirondacks of New York，a few weeks ago when she spotted an injured monarch butterfly and took it home in an empty water bottle.Brandt and her partner，Mike Parwana，fed the butterfly rotting pears and water sweetened with honey.The butterfly survived，and fattened up.But what to do about the broken wing?

　　The couple found an online video demonstrating butterfly wing repair which was posted by the nonprofit Live Monarch Foundation of Boca Raton，F(xiàn)lorida.Tiny cardboard splints and contact cement did the trick.In another week，the butterfly was flying at the couple's home.But by then，it was too cold in upstate New York to release the monarch into the wild.Monarchs are known for their 3,000 miles migration from Canada to Mexico.But this migration is usually finished by the end of October，and it was midNovember.

　　About a week ago，the couple put the monarch in a shoebox and went to Scotty's，a truck stop north of Albany，NY.Eventually，a goodnatured trucker from Alabama，who was headed to Florida，volunteered to transport the monarch to the Sunshine State.Last Tuesday，the trucker called.The butterfly with the mended wing had been released in Florida，now free to join millions of other monarch butterflies migrating south to the mountains of central Mexico.
