I stole your dog.No,I didn't set a foot on your house,but from the condition of your dog,I can imagine what it looks like—the word “rubbish” comes to mind.
I found her along a road,with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck,still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse.Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her,judging by the place where I found her,but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods,the “cross” that she dragged behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.
She has a beautiful name now.Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should.Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting.She has stopped flinching(畏缩) when I make a sudden movement,because she knows now that I won't beat her.In fact,she rarely leaves my side.She's even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I looked out of the window as she attempted to play with other dogs.No,it's clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.
It's not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I'll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her,but one thing is certain,this is a bit of stolen “property” which is never returning to you.So sue me,accuse me,plead with the court that she is rightfully yours...I'm convinced that this is the best “crime” I've ever committed.Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day when I stole your dog.I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life.If we have one prayer,it is that you will not replace her,and if we have one special day to celebrate together,it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.

For their nick-of-time acts, Toby, a 2-year-old dog, and Winnie, a cute cat, were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
As Amy Paul choked(哽住) on a piece of apple at her home, her dog jumped up, landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece in her throat out. When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be killed by carbon monoxide, their cat clawed at the wife Cathy’s hair until she woke up and called for help.
No one could explain their timely heroics.
Both pets were rescued by their owners in infancy---Toby as a 4-week-old thrown into a garbage bin to die, and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn, so helpless that Cathy’s husband, Eric, had to feed her milk with an eyedropper.
As the Keeslings recalled it, a gas-driven pump being used broke down, spreading carbon monoxide through the house. By the time Winnie went to rescue, the couple’s 14-year-old son was already unconscious. “Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me, with a kind of angry sound,” Cathy Keesling said. The state police responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death, judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house.
Amy Paul’s husband was at his job when she took a midday break from making jewelry and bit into an apple. “Normally I peel them, but I read in Good Housekeeping Magazine that the skin has all the nutrients, so I ate the skin, and that’s what caused me to choke,” she recalled. “I couldn’t breathe and I was in panic when Toby jumped on me. He never does that, but he did, and saved my life.”
Both Toby and Winnie accompanied their owners to the awards luncheon.
1.Why did Amy Paul choke on a piece of apple?
A. She was too young to care for herself.
B. She had a big bite.
C. The apple was too hard.
D. She didn’t peel the skin as usual.
2.Winnie saved the lives of its owner’s whole family in an accident by __________.
A. jumping onto its owner B. calling for help
C. clawing at Cathy’s hair D. making some strange noises
3.Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “infancy” in Paragraph 4?
A. middle age B. youth C. babyhood D. agedness
4.What caused the carbon monoxide spreading through the house?
A. A pump breaking down. B. A driver breaking into the house.
C. The burning gas. D. The poisonous gas.
5.What would be the suitable title for the passage?
A. So Smart Animals Are
B. Dog and Cat Honored for Saving Their Masters
C. Unforgettable Experiences
D. Great Honors for Cat and Dog
