13.Swimming along a river in western Florida,a newborn manatee(海牛) calls out for her mother.But the baby hears no answer.The mother has disappeared,possibly frightened away by a passing motorboat.Longing for her mom's gentle touch,the confused manatee begins rubbing against the closest big thing she can find-a boat.
From his home beside the river,Richard Dash sees the manatee rubbing against the boat.He keeps watch on the animal,hoping the mother will appear.But after two hours,she's still alone.Dash calls the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for help."A baby manatee needs its mother to show it where to find food,"says Andrew Garrett,a rescue coordinator(協(xié)調(diào)員) at the organization."Without a mother's guidance,chances of survival are pretty much zero."
A rescue team rushes to the scene to catch the newborn,and then takes off for the rehabilitation(康復(fù)) center at Lowry Park Zoo.After arriving at the center,the manatee is given a checkup by the workers.The doctor's exam shows that the manatee,now named Kee,is dangerously underweight.At less than 50pounds,she's one of the smallest orphans(失去生母的幼小動物) ever treated at the zoo.The baby is placed in a pool where the workers give her 24-hour care.Gradually Kee puts on pounds and gains strength.
A few weeks later,an adult manatee recovering at the center from an accident has a baby.This gives animal care manager Virginia Edmonds an idea.She decides to introduce Kee to the new mom,named Della.Edmonds hopes that Della will raise Kee alongside her own baby,Pal.So the workers place the three manatees in the same pool.Within hours Della is nursing Kee with her milk.Soon Kee is getting all of her food from Della.

29.The manatee described in paragraph 1is in a state ofB.
A.a(chǎn)nger
B.puzzlement
C.surprise
D.disappointment
30.What do we know about Richard Dash?D
A.He's the owner of the boat.
B.He's not familiar with the river.
C.He's sure the mother won't return.
D.He's quite worried about the manatee.

A.is given full-time care
B.is becoming overweight
C.is checked up once a day
D.gets along with other orphans.
32.What's the main idea of the text?C
A.Animals are in need of help
B.A newborn manatee is in danger
C.An orphaned manatee finds a new mom.
D.The rehabilitation is playing a role.
