Ⅳ. 完形填空
Are there any stray(流浪的) animals in your neighbourhood? How do you feel when you see
15?
For a long time, we had a fat fluffy black stray
16 in our neighbourhood. Sometimes I
17 her sitting on my porch(门廊). Sometimes I noticed her hiding under my car. Sometimes she even sneaked(偷偷地走) under my house.
18, each time I walked close to her, she ran away. Finally, I gave up and
19 to give her some independence.
Recently, something
20 happened. This independent stray cat decided to adopt(接纳) my
21, Beth. Each time Beth walked over to my house from
22 place up the road, she was welcomed by the cat. The cat walked between her legs and purred(发出呼噜声) when she got petted(抚摸).
It happened day after day until this morning
23 Beth left her a bowl of cat food. I guessed that ended the cat's stray life, because Beth even started
24 the cat "Alice". I doubted Alice would ever want to
25 an indoor cat, because she seemed to have made Beth her forever
26. Beth has the kindness and love that draws(吸引) all kinds of animals to her from dogs, to cats, to birds.
Isn't it
27 how love works its way into our hearts and lives? We are minding our own business and
28 we have a new pet, or a new friend, or find a moment to share in an act of kindness. Let your love pass on to the lives of others, because
29 spreading love and warmth is the true spirit of life.
