阅读理解 Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses.One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn’t show up the next day, and, although they made their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing, Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone, barking and jumping. Busy with their own lives, they paid no attention to the nervous little neighbor dog. Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownie’s owner, was continuously disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking all the time, then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It’s urgent!”Eventually, Ted followed Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty stopped to race back and barked encouragingly. The little dog led the man to a deserted spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his legs crushed in a steel trap (圈套). Frightened, Ted now wished he had taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously.Then Ted noticed something. Spotty had done something else besides leading Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found some food remains of every meal. Brownie had been fed that week! Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive. Spotty had actually stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up.Brownie’s leg was carefully treated and he soon got well again. For many years thereafter the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.1.At the very beginning, Ted paid little attention to Spotty because __________.A.he was not free at the momentB.he was sure Brownie would be OKC.he didn’t like Spotty at allD.his missing dog made him sad2.After Ted was brought where Brownie was trapped, he ___________.A.managed to free his dog at onceB.was very thankful to SpottyC.regretted not following Spotty earlierD.was angry with the trap-maker3.The BEST title for this passage might be____________?A.Dogs in LoveB.A Friend in NeedC.Human and dogsD.Dogs Are Communicative4.We can infer from the passage that ___________.A.humans and animals depend on each other for comfortB.It’s not right to hunt for animals in any neighborhoodC.Ted has to take better care of his beloved dog later onD.Brownie would have died without Spotty’s timely help
