When Chato’s barking didn’t stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog tried nibbling on the teenager’s leg to get the girl out of the burning house.?
“No one was hurt.” Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7:00 a.m.
Five people lived in the Garcia’s home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton’s main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. “I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure they knew how many people lived there,” Hamilton said. “It was scary.”
“Seals called me screamingly,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals’ boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the house. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”?
It is said that Garcia’s brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet until it mattered. “He doesn’t usually bark.” Vega said. “He’s really friendly.”?
According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an improper extension cord(電纜) used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the house was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates （估計(jì)）for repair costs were unavailable. “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” Clyatt said.?
小題1:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage??
A．Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors?
B．Firefighters Put out House Fire?
C．A Dog Saves the Whole Family from House Fire?
D．Family Needs Help Due to House Fire
小題2:The underlined word “they” in the third paragraph most probably refers to _______.
A．other neighbors?B．Hamilton’s family members?
C．Vega and her brother Garcia?D．the firefighters
小題3:By saying “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” in the
last paragraph, Clyatt means _______.?
A．it’s a wonder that Seals survived the fire?B．the house was badly damaged?
C．such a big fire was seldom seen?D．Chato is a very clever dog
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned??

A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about   36  in work and life.
Before offering his guests   37 , the professor went to the kitchen and   38  with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups -- porcelain（瓷）, plastic, glass, crystal, some   39  and cheap, some exquisite（精致的）and   40 -- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you   41 , all the nice-looking expensive cups were   42  up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is   __43 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the   44  of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself   45  no quality to the coffee. In most cases   46  is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you   47  wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously   48  for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.
Now consider this:   49  is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to   50  life, and the type of cup we have does not define（規(guī)定）, nor change the   51  of life we live. Sometimes, by   52  only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has offered us.
God brews（釀造）the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!
“The   53  people don’t have the best of everything: They just   54  the best of everything.”
Live simply. Love   55 . Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Miss Gogers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation.

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own．My mom was one of those people．

Not surprisingly，mom was one of my strongest supporters．She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style．As in any business，we experienced a lot of challenges．But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul，I never doubted we could succeed．Fifteen years later，we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979，my company had 1759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year．
