In a recent TV program of “Unsolved Mysteries”, there was a young boy who was the victim of the holocaust (大屠杀). He’d been 11 in a work camp for several years and somehow had managed to survive the 12 of his imprisonment.

The story was of a boy — now in his sixties — and his quest to find an American soldier who had 13 on a kindness to him by 14 some food. It might seem 15 , but to this child, who had seen 16 but cruelty and inhumanity for 17 he could remember, it was a

18 that marked a turning point in his life, for he had lost hope. When he was liberated by the American forces, he was dying. He 19 needed food. 20 he was struggling along the road, a young soldier 21 down from his tank and gave him some of his supplies. With this one act of generosity, the kind American had aroused the 22 again that there really was some good in the world. And the boy never 23 it.

Three-year-old Teddy Lasry was sleeping in his cowboy outfit (套装) yesterday at his family’s Fifth Ave. apartment when he shot up in bed screaming. A 3-foot-long black-and-white snake twisted around his left arm and had just bitten his little finger.

“The babysitter was frightened to death,” said Teddy’s father, David Lasry, who, along with his wife, Evelyn, was at work when the snake appeared about 4:00 pm.

The horrified babysitter called 911 and the building’s doorman. The doorman and two cable TV workers helped take the snake off the boy’s arm and put it in a garbage bag. Police rushed Teddy to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he spent two hours attached to a heart monitor as a precaution in case the snake was poisonous. It wasn’t. Experts at the snakebite treatment center at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where policemen took the snake, found out it was a non-poisonous California king snake.

But how did it end up in Teddy’s bed?

A little detective work determined that the snake had escaped two weeks ago from its cage in the apartment of a doctor whose family lives four floors below the Lasrys. The apologetic owner said his son’s pet snake likely traveled up the water pipes and into his neighbor’s apartment. “It’s a very gentle, very harmless snake,” he said. “It’s handled by our family all the time.”

David Lasry believed the pet was simply hungry after two weeks of wandering. Evelyn said her son seems to have overcome his fright by thinking of himself as a hero cowboy as he rode in the back of the police car to the hospital.

“I told Teddy he’s a pretty snake, a nice pet snake who got out of his cage,” Evelyn said. “But he asked, ‘Why did he bite my finger, Mamma?’ And I said, ‘Because he saw that you are a big boy, Teddy, in your cowboy outfit and he got scared.’”

35. What did the babysitter do after Teddy was bitten by a snake?

A. She ran out of the apartment. B. She made an emergency call.

C. She called the TV company. D. She took the snake off Teddy’s arm.

36. We can learn from the passage that the snake ______.

A. was poisonous B. was deserted by its owner

C. was kept in a cage by its owner D. escaped to the apartment downstairs

37. From the passage, we know ______.

A. the snake was used to being touched

B. Teddy was awake when the snake arrived

C. Teddy’s mother was at home when the snake turned up

D. Teddy needed a heart machine to stay alive for two hours

38. Teddy probably believed he was attacked because ______.

A. his parents weren’t at home B. he was asleep

C. the snake was scared of him D. the snake was hungry
