五、阅读理解。〔人与自然——自然生态〕
Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live a happy life too. Here are two real stories from our readers.
The first story is from Ray. "I hate my cat, Tiger, because when I use my tablet(平板电脑), he takes my attention away. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this period, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's up?' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my tablet, which had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to call my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."
The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild 'Mum' parrot from the side of the road and kept her as a pet in a big cage. She lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild parrots came visiting her and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The 'Mum' parrot in the cage was soon hopping. But as she couldn't fly, the 'Dad' parrot built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to the 'Mum' parrot. The 'Baby' parrot would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mum behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home in the afternoon. The family stayed together happily."
After reading the stories, don't you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should care for every living creature in the world.
