　　A hotel worker went on a shooting rampage at a Tampa(坦帕,美国港市) hotel on Thursday, killing four co-workers in the hotel and a woman in a nearby parking lot, police said. The gunman also wounded three people before he was taken into custody (拘留). Police said this latest one in a series of mass (人数极多的) shootings in the United States, began about mid-afternoon at the Radisson Bay Harbour on Courtney Campbell. Witnesses (目击者) described a chaotic (处于混乱状态的)scene as the gunman fired shots in the lobby and pool area of the hotel before commandeering (强取) a car and fleeing. “I came here from New York City to escape the craziness there and wound up in one of the most insane (疯狂的) situations I have ever been in,” a witness to the shootings told local media (大众传媒). Police said the gunman fled to a nearby restaurant parking lot, where he shot and killed a woman and took another car. The gun-man, who had two weapons, was quickly cornered by pursuing (追捕,追赶) police and offered no resistance when he was taken into custody. It was the worst shooting rampages in Tampa since May of 1998, when a man who had been arrested as a suspect (嫌疑犯) in the shooting death of his four-year-old son escaped from police custody and shot to death three police officers. That assailant (攻击者) ,Hank Earl Cart, held police at bay for four hours at a gas station north of Tampa before killing himself.

　　The hotel killings were the latest in a series of mass shootings in the United States. last month, in the worst mass murder in Hawaii’s history, a 15-year employee of Xerox shot seven men to death at the Honolulu warehouse where he worked. In September a gunman killed seven people at a youth group at the crowded Wedgwood Baptist Church in Texas before turning the gun on himself. And in July a gunman described as a depressed (沮丧的) person killed nine people in Atlanta before turning the gun on himself. He had earlier killed his wife and two children in a suburb.

阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。

　　Lisa is ten years old. She is handicapped(残疾) because she has brain damage. She could not do even the most simple thing until a year ago. She could not comb her hair or feed herself. Her parents loved her. But they treated her like baby.

　　Mr Ching has a daughter and a son. They are both grown. They live far from their father. Mr Ching felt lonely. He decided to do something about it. He decided to become a foster grandfather to a handicapped child. And that was how he met Lisa.

　　Foster grandparents are grandparents who are not related by birth. But foster grandparents love the children they care for. They love them just as natural grandparents love their grandchildren.

　　The foster grandparents also help the handicapped children in special ways. They help to dress and feed the children. They read to them and tell them stories. They also help with the handicapped children's therapy. Therapy is the treatment of a disease or disorder. It helps the children overcome their handicaps.

　　Mr Ching became a foster grandparent to Lisa when she was nine years old. At first, Lisa was shy. She was afraid because Mr Ching was a stranger. But he came to see her every day. Gradually, she began to trust him.

　　“Most of that lunch ended up on us instead of in Lisa's mouth,”Mr Ching remembers.“But it was a start for Lisa. She learned to feed herself in a few months.”

　　Then Lisa was ready for more therapy, thank to Mr Ching. She had learned to do one simple thing. She could learn to do other simple things. Mr Ching was trained to help with Lisa's therapy.

　　To become foster grandparents, people must be at least sixty years old and in good health. They must be willing to give their time to handicapped children. They are volunteers, so they are not paid. They are given money for expenses, such as transportation.

　　Mr Ching speaks for most foster grandparents when he says,“We all benefit. The handicapped children benefit because we help them live more useful lives. And we benefit because we know the children need us and love us. For any person, there's no greater happiness than that!”

1．Why did Lisa need help?

　　Don't go to Kauai．Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands－Maui, Lanai, the Big Island－but leave Kauai for us．The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable that sometimes it rains all day－in fact, it's the second-wettest spot on the earth．Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical．But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else．You just can't control the nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender to the nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request?

　　So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys?Most of its 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked．Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find．While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you've ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs．Worse, it doesn't have one single four-star restaurant．What it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree(红毛丹树), and pick a piece of fruit．

　　Shopping in Kauai?Forget it－unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls．Kauai is not about pampering．It's about going natural and finding the nature within you．It's a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, driving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach．

　　Don't go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there's only one road, which can be slightly dull．It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro(芋头)fields．You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m．p．h．

　　If you're not interested in color, don't bother with Kauai, because that's what you get－red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green．It's like diving on land．Many people on Kauai believe that this is Lemuria－a lost island in the Atlantic．Can you imagine?Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life－what do they know, anyway?Forget about it－you're not going to like it．Go somewhere else．Leave Kauai for us．

　　Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight．A recent research has found a new recipe of success．According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young(less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly．Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog．

　　However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light．There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25％ of the homes, while argression and fighting were observed in 10％ of the homes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite．For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same　signals submission．

　　In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour．They are learning how to talk each other’s language．It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’．

　　What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence．They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected．Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa．They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理)each other．

　　The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets－to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers．If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance．

(1)

The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________．
[　　]
A．	early
B．	sweetly
C．	quickly
D．	smoothly

(2)

Some cats and dogs may fight when ________．
[　　]
A．	they are cold to each other
B．	they look away from each other
C．	they misunderstood each other’s signals
D．	they are introduced at an early age

(3)

What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
[　　]
A．	They eat and sleep each other．
B．	They observe each other’s behaviors．
C．	They learn to speak each other’s language．
D．	They know something from each other’s voices．

(4)

It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________．
[　　]
A．	have common interests
B．	are less different than was thought
C．	have a common body language
