根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Baloo the bear, Leo the Lion and Shere Khan the tiger have the most unusual and unlikely friendship between them. They were saved eight years ago, when they were cubs only two months old.

They were first sent to a rescue（救护）center, where they were raised together. Now they are in an American zoo. Because they came here as a kind of family, the zoo built a large clubhouse so that they could all sleep in it.

Now they have grown up. You can see them playing around like brothers. The three big animals seem to no sense(意识) of their animal differences.

Baloo and Shere Khan are very close. That is because they rise early, as Leo being a lion likes to spend most the day sleeping. When Leo wakes up the three of them mess around for most of the day before they settle down to some food. It is wonderful to see a giant American Black Bear put his arm around a Bengal tiger and then to see the tiger touch the bear with his nose lightly like a pet cat. You can often see they lie on top of each other for heat and for love.

“They are not wild animals any more. But you must remember who you are dealing with when you are with them,” said one of the zoo keepers.

（1）、The passage is mainly about ___________.

A、how to save animals B、where animals should stay C、the friendship between animals D、man and animals

（2）、The underlined word “cubs” here means _________.

A、幼崽 B、存活 C、分开 D、收养

（3）、Balllo and Shere Khan are a bit close because _________.

A、they both like to get up early. B、they don't like Leo C、Leo likes to sleep all day D、they live in one clubhouse

（4）、How do you think these three animals will feel when they are together?

A、bored B、worried C、relaxed D、scared

（5）、What does the last paragraph want to tell us?

A、Animals can be dangerous. B、Animals are not friendly to man. C、Animals are only nice to animals. D、Animals are our friends.

When Susan Chen left high school, she want to go to university. Unfortunately, her father was quite poor,and a university education cost a lot of money.

Take the entrance examination, she didn't score very high marks, but she scored enough, and was offered a place at the university.

“I'm very proud of you, Susan,” her father said, “I must find the money for a university education for you somehow.”

“But how ,Dad?” Susan asked.

“Well, I can sell my car and work a lot of overtime, I can even work at two jobs if necessary. One during the day and one at night.”

“You're a generous father” Susan said.

“Your future is worth the sacrifice,”he told her.The next day he sold his car and asked his boss to give him three hours overtime every day.This meant walking to work and working 12 hours a day, seven days a week, but he didn't complain. His daughter's education was worth it.

A year passed, Susan took her first-year examination. When the results were announced, she ran home to tell her father the news. “Dad”she said, “I've got my examination results, you'll be pleased,”“You've passed”he exclaimed ,“guess what? I've got the third place and won the scholarship. You can have your car back and stop working so hard.”

She is a beautiful red-haired girl. she has been shopping with her mom in Wal-Mart. It was raining hard outside. We all stood there under the awning (雨篷). Her voice was so sweet. “Mom, let's run through the rain,” she said.
“What?” Mom asked.
“Let's run through the rain!”
“No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit,” Mom replied.
The child waited about another minute and repeated, “Mom, let's run through the rain.”
“We'll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she pulled her mom's arm.
“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer(癌症), you said, we can get through anything!”
The crowd(人群) became silent. Nothing could be heard but the rain. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom thought for a moment about what she would say.
“Honey, you are right. Let's run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we'll just need to get a wash,” Mom said.
Then off they ran. People all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and through the puddles(水坑).
They held their shopping bags over their heads. They got wet through. But they were followed by a few who laughed like children all the way to their cars.
People can take away your money and health. But no one can ever take away your memories….So don't forget to make time to make memories every day.

I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend's house. It was just after four o'clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button(按钮)13.

The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, halfway up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn't understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14.I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.

Then suddenly the lights went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my hands. And at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm. I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, "Just get me out of here. I'll never be bad again."

Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the door opened. A man was standing there. "How long have you been there? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven't you learned to read at your school?" He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:

"Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4 p.m. and 5p.m. on Thursday, March 13."

I have many teachers now and I love them all, but I think I love my English teacher, Sophia, best.

Sophia is from the UK. But she loves Chongqing very much. She thinks Chongqing is great. She loves Chongqing food. Do you know what she likes for breakfast? Bread and milk? No, she doesn't. She only has noodles (面条). Hot pot (火锅) is her favorite and she always eats it on Saturday and Sunday. Sophia has a daughter and a son. Her daughter's name is May. Her son's name is Jack. They are ten years old. They go to the same school. They like hot pot, too. They are all in Chongqing now.

We have English from Monday to Friday. So Sophia is very busy. But she is always nice and happy. All my classmates like her and her classes very much. She often plays English games and sings English songs with us. When we have questions, we like to ask her for help.

Now I think I can do well in English because I have the best English teacher, Sophia.
