When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”, My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games . Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet(宠) her. Of course she would let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

56. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?

A. Look at them sadly. B. Play games with them.

C. Keep them company. D. Touch them gently.

C. would eat anything when hungry D. disliked the author’s dad

58. Some people got frightened by Brownie when she______.

A. smiled B. barked C. rushed to them D. tried to be funny

59. Which of the following best describes Brownie?

Dogs are a very popular pet in the United States. Most dogs just live with their families, but some dogs have very special jobs to do.

A very special group of dogs are known as “Therapy(治疗) Dogs”. These dogs are family pets with special training. The training allows them to go into public buildings and comfort(安慰) people in need. The dogs are trained to be calm and quiet. Loud noises and unfamiliar places don’t frighten them. Therapy dogs can improve people’s health as well. Studies show that when people spend time with animals, their blood pressure goes down. They are calmer, and their mood(情绪) improves.

Some therapy dogs work in schools and libraries. In one town in California, therapy dogs have become children’s friends. The dogs belong to a therapy dog group. Eigh
