The kitten was rescued, but didn’t make it out of surgery in one piece.

The veterinarian at Laurel Oaks Animal Hospital in Kingsland, now acting for the kitten, says she sees animal abuse more often than you might imagine,

This kitten is playful and affectionate, but he has already seen how cruel a place the world can be .

Dr. Julie Clark Blount is the veterinarian treating the kitten now, “I think they were actually kicking him or throwing him or something of that nature,” said Blout, “They had damaged the whole bundle of nerves that are up in the armpit and control the functioning of the entire leg, and it’s not something that would get better over time.”

Blount says they were forced to amputate his front right leg, “It doesn’t seem to bother him at all and he runs and he plays and he loves attention and he’s pretty spoiled already, and he’s eating  like a little pig, and doing fabulously for us,” said Blount

Doing well, but Blount says other pets out there never survive abuse.

“He’s one of the lucky one,” she said.

Blount says unless abusers like him are caught and prosecuted, they could go on to bigger and worse things.

‘We with there were more strict laws to protect animals because if they ‘re doing this to pets, then what would then end up doing to people, or kids, or anything else later on down the road?” wonders Blout. (243words)

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)文章后的題目要求回答76-80小題。

A beautiful, expensively dressed lady complained to her psychiatrist (精神病醫(yī)師) that she felt that her whole life was empty; it had no meaning.

So the psychiatrist called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors, and then said to the rich lady, “I’m going to ask Mary to tell you how she found happiness. All I want you to do is to listen.”

So the old lady put down her broom, sat on a chair and told her story, “Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody … I had nothing left. I couldn’t sleep; I couldn’t eat; I never smiled at anyone; I even thought of taking my own life. Then one evening, a little kitten followed me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got it some milk, and it licked the plate clean. Then it purred comfortably and rubbed against my legs, and for the first time in months, I smiled. Then I stopped to think; if helping a little kitten could make me smile, maybe doing something for people could __________. So the next day, I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed. Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy. Today, I don’t know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I’ve found happiness, by giving it to others.”

When she heard that, the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things which money couldn’t buy.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：安徽省模擬題 題型：閱讀理解

     It seems that no matter when and where, a cat and a mouse just can't get along well. Cats always like
to run after mice; therefore, whenever a mouse meets a cat, the mouse will try to run away as fast as
possible. But, like everything else, there is an exception sometimes.
      On day, a young mouse ran around for fun under a tall tree by himself. Maybe because of running too
fast, the mouse accidentally kicked up a small piece of rock. The rock went up to the air then dropped
down hitting a newborn kitten which happened to be taking a nap under the same tree a few feet away
from the mouse's amusing place. The cat's body was covered by the falling leaves so the mouse did not
notice a cat sleeping nearby.
     The kitten was only a few weeks old. He had never seen a mouse. After being hit, he woke up and
found that the rock was from another animal.
     "What kind of strange animal is it? The inexperienced kitten thought, It must have lots of power as it
could kick up a piece of rock to hit me." The kitten was scared. Without mother by side, the kitten ran
home immediately.
     The incident made the young mouse very proud. He told his friends, the other mice, "Everybody says
that a mouse is afraid of a cat, but today a fact proved that a cat was afraid of me." So the mouse
announced that he would not escape any more when he saw a cat again. The young mouse's friends
explained to the young mouse that the rock-hitting case was but an incident. The kitten was too young
to know a mouse. When the kitten grew up becoming a big cat, it would be different. Therefore, the
other mice advised the mouse that he must run away whenever he saw a cat. But the self-important
mouse would not take the advice.
     As time went by, after the fall and winter, when the spring came, the kitten had grown up and became
a big cat. One day, when the mouse and several other mice were gathering under the same tree to
discuss something, the former kitten, now a big cat, suddenly showed up. All the mice hurriedly ran away
except the mouse that had frightened away the former kitten. The mouse recognized the cat who was
frightened away by him before, so he remained staying there without escaping.
1. When was the kitten frightened by the young mouse?
A. In spring    
B. In summer    
C. In autumn    
D. In winter
2. Why did the mouse dare to play under the tall tree?
A. It knew that the cat was afraid of it.  
B. It knew the cat was too young.
C. It didn't know there was a cat      
D. It wanted to scare the cat away
3. What do you think happened in the end?
A. The mouse was killed            
B. The cat ran away immediately
C. The cat was defeated             
D. The mouse begged for mercy
4. What lesson can we learn from the passage?
A. There is an exception to everything      
B. It takes only courage to achieve something
C. One can never be strong once frightened
D. One should consider everything before taking action
