“The brother of the girl saw it on and told her," said Grandey, who couldn't have been happier to return the ring to its original owner, Julie Sanalitro.
“I was screaming and running around the house,” Sanalitro told the news station. "We always come to our tree from there to celebrate Christmas Day," she said.
When Sanalitro called to the ring, she explained it was a gift from her boyfriend, who had only given it to her two months ago when they reunited.
She was not only able to answer all of Grandey's questions about the ring, she was the original owner, but Grandey added, “I knew it was hers the moment she was walking up.”

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning(放棄) an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen,I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. '
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
1.In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .
A. felt worried B. was angry
C. ate a little D. sat by the fire
2.Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .
A. saw her puppies
B. heard familiar barking
C. wanted to leave the author
D. found her way to her old home
3.The passage is organized in order of .
A. time B. effect
C. importance D. Complexity

Planet Earth would be a scary place for humans if dinosaurs still ruled the world.
Though there are still some traces of life from the Jurassic Period, the Age of Dinosaurs more than 65 million years ago.
This mass extinction is believed to be the result of an asteriod(小行星)hitting Earth. A new report by the journal Biological Reviews called " The Extinction of Dinosaurs” concludes that this impact was, indeed, the cause of the dinosaurs’ demise. But the space blast(爆炸) wasn't the only reason these creatures aren't still around today.
Dinosaurs need food to survive. Meat-eating monsters like the Tyrannosaurus Rex(霸王龍) were at the top of the food chain, and fed off plant eaters like the horned Triceratops (三角恐龍). These herbivores (食草動物) were decreasing in population after the asteroid hit Earth, which left the meat-eating species less food to survive on. “In any ecosystem where you remove links to key species, that community has problems," Richard Butler, one of the review's authors, told National Ceographic.
While the herbivore population was going down, Earth's temperatures were rising when volcanoes erupted. Hot vapors and gases began wiping out some of the dinosaur population and weakening the survivors.
These changes made the asteroid's impact especially powerful. It caused more volcanoes to erupt, heated up Earth's atmosphere, and led to a sharp drop in the level of oxygen in the oceans.
With the dinosaurs gone, mammals(哺乳動物) began to evolve into bigger and more diverse species. Many animals we see today, like birds, sharks, and even some cats and dogs, appeared after the asteroid hit Earth. But none rule Earth quite like the dinosaurs did..
1. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word’’ demise" in Paragraph 2?
A. Death. B. Evolvement.
C. Presence. D. Decrease.
2. According to what Richard Butler said, what caused dinosaurs to die out?
A. A shortage of clean water.
B.A break in the food chain.
C. A small variety of animals.
D. The constant warming climate.
3. What was the negative effect of the asteroid hitting Earth?
A. Oceans became too hot for animals.
B. There was less oxygen in the oceans.
C. Earth's climate became violent.
D. The majority of the plants gradually died out.
4. The text is mainly about .
A.the evolvement of mammals on Earth
B.the gradual process of climate change
C.the importance of the balance of ecosystem
D.the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs
