Whenever there's a terrible storm, there are plenty of sad stories. Many people lost their houses, their cars and their pets. But sometimes these stories have happy endings too.
A family in New Jersey, US, had a cat named Vivien. She is very smart. She could even draw with her wet paws on the floor. They all love her very much. When hurricane (颶風(fēng)) Sandy hit America in October, they moved to a safer place-13km away from home. Sadly Vivien went missing. The whole family were worried about her. They put up posters on the Internet to look for her. All the nine family members searched wherever they thought she could stay, but they didn't find it. The family thought Vivien was gone forever.
But six months later, Vivien showed up at their house, according to Yahoo News. They considered her return as a wonder. No one can be sure where Vivien was for all that time.
Many animals are good at finding their way home. People usually say that dogs and cats find their way home through using their sense of smell.
But that doesn't explain how Vivien found her way back. Hurricane Sandy blew away the normal smells of home.
"I wish she could talk," said her owner.
【小題1】From the passage we know Sandy is a

Cars are used for business. They are driven to offrices and factories by workers. Salesmen(推銷員) have to drive in order to (為了) carry their products (產(chǎn)品).Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get things.

In some cities school buses are used only when children live far from the school. When the children are too young to walk so far, their mothers take turns at driving them to school. This form is called a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns at driving to the factory or the office.

More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road to use less gasoline(汽油). The traffic in and around cities is a great problem. Something must be done about the use of cars.

Many people love going on a trip by plane, because planes are fast. But an airport(機(jī)場(chǎng)) is usually far away from the city, and it usually takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city. You have to get there and wait for the plane to take off for hours. You can not open the window, and you can not have delicious food.
I like travelling by train. I think trains are the safest(最安全的). Train stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and look out of the window. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes some time.
I also like cars. You can start your trip when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a station. You can carry many things with you, too. But sometimes there are many cars on the road.
