A Magical Experience
One hot August afternoon, Deena Hoagland and her son Joe sat on a floating platform at Dolphins Plus, a marine(海洋)center near their home in Florida. Nearby, a large, powerful, six-hundred-pound dolphin circled to study the mother and her child. Suddenly, it splashed the Hoaglands with water. That is when something amazing happened. Three-year-old Joe Hoagland smiled. Sitting with Joe on her lap, Deena smiled, too, as her heart leapt with joy. It was the first sign of hope she had seen in Joe since his stroke(中风)six weeks earlier.
Joe Hoagland was born with a rare heart condition that had forced him to spend much of his first three years of life in hospitals. After a series of open-heart surgeries, Joe seemed to be doing better, but the last surgery on his heart resulted in a stroke, which left him unable to move one side and to see out of one eye.
Worse still, the spirit of the child, who had bravely battled his illness until then was seemingly broken. Afraid of his doctors and unwilling to participate in efforts at physical therapy(治疗), Joe grew listless, losing interest even in his favorite toys.
Having heard of a new therapeutic approach termed “dolphin-assisted therapy,” Deena phoned Dolphins Plus and asked permission to bring her son along. There Joe met Fonzie, the playful dolphin. With each passing visit, Joe seemed to make more progress. Before long, he was regaining some movement on his left side. Dolphins Plus trainers urged Joe to get into the water and swim with his new friend. Joe, however, was reluctant. Gradually, though, Joe became more comfortable with the large dolphin, and by mid-September, Joe was swimming with his friends.
Over the next two years, Joe fully recovered from the paralysis and partial blindness that his doctors thought irreversible. Now a healthy, active teenager, Joe lives a life similar to any of his friends. He visits and swims frequently with his friend Fonzie and helps his parent with Island Dolphin Care. Deena started Island Dolphin Care to work with Dolphins Plus to share the benefits of dolphin therapy with other special-needs children and their parents.1.Deena Hoagland smiled when Fonzie splashed Joe with water because .A.the dolphin’s action is amazing B.Joe’s reaction brought her hopeC.she was affected by Joe’s joy D.she realized Joe recovered2.Paragraph 2-4 are written to .A.expose the dangers of strokesB.identify the problems Joe facedC.describe Joe’s recovery from beginning to endD.show readers the process of “dolphin-assisted therapy”3.What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3?A.angry and inflexible B.more mature and silentC.lacking energy and concern D.cautious and shy4.Which statement about Joe is Not True?A.Joe received several surgeries on the heart when he was a little child.B.Joe was the first one to receive dolphin-assisted therapy.C.Doctors used to think that Joe could not recover.D.Now Joe worked with his parents in the Island Dolphin Care.5.We may conclude from the passage that .A.dolphin therapy has helped many children to improve their livesB.Joe recovered faster because of his desire to live with FonzieC.doctors’ mistake during his surgeries brought Joe great painD.his mother’s company contributes greatly to Joe’s recovery
