24、My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around our neighbourhood. Two dog walkers passed by and one of them said, “Never seen that dog around here before.”

We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a phone number on it, but no one answered.

The dog was really thin. It didn’t have many teeth left.

Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend ate its food.

Finally we got it home. We gave it a blanket, more food and wondered what to do next.

After trying for many times, we got a reply from the number. A lady came. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. It was very old and should probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn’t bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned home.

Here is the truth of the story:

In fact, Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I still didn’t find it possible. I was going to turn and go when an old, weak dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.

We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home. In the song “Love Is Not a Fight”, Warren Barfield talks about marriage. He sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door.”

Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.

【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.

A．Julie bought some food for the dog

C．the dog didn’t go with the writer

D．the dog didn’t eat any of the food.

【3】After they got the dog home, the couple ________.

A．decided to raise the dog

B．took good care of the dog

C．found out that its owner was a lady

D．found it hard to get to sleep

【4】The underlined part “our problem” in the passage refers to the fact that ________.

A．The writer didn’t want to take Julie’s advice

B．The dog stayed with the couple from then on.

C．The writer sang a song.

D．Angels came to the writer’s home.

25、   Now, with the rapid development of technology, shopping on the Internet has been a fashion, 【1】 ( especial) among the young people.
