    A poor boy lived in a small town. He sold goods from door to door to pay for school.

    One day, he only had one cent left and he was hungry. He decided that he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, when a young woman opened the door, the boy was shy, he just asked for some water. The woman knew he was hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked. "How much should I pay for it?" "You won't pay for it. My mother has told me that it is good to help the people who are in trouble," she replied. The boy said, "Then I thank you from my heart."

    As the boy left that house, he felt stronger. He knew he had many things to do.

    Many years later, the young woman became ill. The local doctors couldn't save her. People had to send her to a big city. When the doctor knew who the woman was, he was excited and tried his best to save her life. He succeeded. The woman needed to pay for the medical bill. The doctor learned that she couldn't afford it.

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are bought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She

simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.

At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet drink to last a whole evening. Tours abroad are difficult because hosts seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much. During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was set up in   a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly cooked with dry heat over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a   whole roast(烤) pig was her serving.

Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favourite trick of talking with her host, King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.

Reporters traveling with her have noticed that the Queen will sometimes seem so interested in a foreign leader's political(政治的) chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.

阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

As 1 experienced dog trainer, Du Linjia, 30, doesn't only "teach" dogs— he 2 lessons to dog owners, too. He has 10 years of experience, 3 he invites owners to train their dogs together with him to change dogs' behavior. 

How does a trainer change a dog's behavior? "One common angry behavior of a dog is growling(低吼) at its owner to protect 4 food, " Du said, "In such cases, we need to know why. It may think that the owner is there to take its food, which we aim to change. "

By giving the dog more food while the owner is 5 getting closer, the dog begins to believe that it can be rewarded for letting humans come 6 . Problem can 7 .

Du believes that a dog trainer should be responsible. The trainer must never give up on 8 dog. 

Understanding is important, too—a dog's worst behavior is usually 9 misleading actions by its owner. One needs to think 10 the dog's point of view. Du said a dog trainer needs to notice small changes in the dog's behavior 11 they can do what's needed in time. 

"The future for dog trainers is promising, " Du said, adding that many customers are now learning how 12 their dogs' behaviors. Dog trainers need to have patience to help dogs overcome their 13 behaviors. 

Du Linjia's method of training dogs involves both the dog and its owner, making it a more 14 method. The key to changing a dog's behavior is understanding 15 makes it to act in a certain way.
