【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中選出最佳選項。
For thousands of years, people have lived with dogs. Ancient paintings on the walls of caves show people living with dogs. Almost a third of the homes in the United States and England have dogs, and these dogs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes,
The largest dog in the world was a dog named Zorba. When Zorba, a mastiff, was seven years old in 1989, he was 94 centimeters (37inches) tall. In other words, Zorba was more than half as tall as an adult man. At his largest, Zorba weighed more than a heavy weight boxer at 156 kilometers (343 pounds).
In comparison, the smallest dog was a Yorkshire terrier from England. This dog was only the size of a matchbox, measuring 7.1 centimeters (2.8 inches) tall and 9.5 centimeters (3.75 inches) from nose to tail. It weighed about as much as a common book, and even a young child could easily pick it up with one hand. It passed away in 1945 when it was only two years old.
Some dogs are wonderful, not for their sizes, but for their brains. One incredible(難以置信的)dog is Parton who has used a wheelchair since a car accident in 1991.
In 2001, Parton was hit by a car while crossing a road with Endal, and thrown out of his chair. Endal quickly moved Parton into the recovery place, covered him with a blanket(毯子), and pushed his mobile phone close enough for him to reach. Then, once he saw that Parton was all right, Endal ran back and forth to a nearby hotel, barking until people came out to help.
Endal was rewarded for his bravery by being awarded a medal, and he has been the subject of a number of TV documentaries.
（1）Why do people have dogs as pets?
A.Dogs used to live in caves.
B.Dogs are easy to be taken care of.

D.The passage doesn't tell us about it.
（2）The underlined word “mastiff” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________

D.a kind of accident
（3）The world's smallest dog weighed half as much as _______ according to the passage.
A.a child's hand
B.a matchbox
C.a common book
D.a car
（4）What is the right order that Endal saved Parton according to the passage?

b. Running back and forth to a nearby hotel.
c. Covering Parton with a blanket.
d. Pushing Parton's phone close for him to each.

【題目】 One day, I picked up my daughter Eloise from school and went to the supermarket for a few things. I was hoping to be in and out quickly.

I found a short line with just one person in front of me. It was an elderly woman, and she was paying for her things with only change. After a long day at work, I was not happy with this woman.

But then I watched the young clerk. He helped her count her change, even so gently taking it from her shaking hands. I listened to him repeatedly say to her: “Yes, ma’am.” When she asked if she had enough to buy a bag, he told her she did. Then he went two lines over to get one for her. Never once did this clerk get angry or roll his eyes. He was patient and kind.

As I was watching him, I saw Eloise was too. I realized my daughter was learning an important lesson from a complete stranger.

When the woman was finished, the clerk began ringing up my things and thanked me for my patience. I paid 33 dollars and thanked him too. I found the manager and told him about the clerk’s kindness and patience.

B
Long ago, a farmer, hard-working, had a wonderful olive orchard(橄欖園). Unluckily, his three sons cared less about his olive orchard. They couldn't wait to be wealthy in a short time.
When the farmer was old, and felt that his time had come to die, he called the three sons to him and said, "My sons, there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it."
The sons tried to get him to tell them in what part of the orchard the gold was hidden, but he would tell them nothing more.
After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold. Since they did not know where it was, they agreed to begin in a line at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money.
They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree-roots and between them. But no pot of gold was to be found. The three sons were disappointed to have all their work for nothing.
The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given. When it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.
And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said, "There is gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it."

B.The sons felt disappointed when the farmer didn't tell them where the hiding-place was.
