• 3．When Ariel Cordova，30，rode her bike to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens，New York，last November，she planned to go hiking and bird-watching.
     A mile into her walk，she noticed a pretty swan（天鹅）near the stream.Cordova，who had worked at the Wild Bird Protection Center in Manhattan，knew that kind of swan was usually very aggressive（好攻击的）.But as she walked close to this one，it didn't move.
     She was certain that the bird needed medical care.Cordova dropped her jacket over the bird's head to keep it calm，carefully picked it up，and held it in her arms.And then a thought came to her：What should I do next？
     Her best choice was the Animal Care Center but that was on the other side of town，across the East River.How was she going to carry a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way？Luckily，some strangers driving by offered her，her bike，and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.
     Cordova called the center.An animal-care worker picked her up at the subway Station and drove her and the sick swan back for medical services.They found that the swan might have lead poisoning（铅中毒），caused by fishing lines.Sadly，even with all the efforts，the swan died two months later.
     It may sound a sad ending，but the real story is that many people are willing to save the swan in the big city.In all，Cordova traveled two hours on foot，by car and subway. "That's the perfect summary of who she is，" said Mr.Higginbotham，manager of the center.

• 9．阅读下面短文，从方框中所给的A-E五个选项中选择正确的选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入1-4题，并完成5小题。
  Reasons Why Pets Are Good for Children
  For many of us，pets are part of everyday family life.But more than that，pets can actually aid childhood development in many ways.Veterinarian Dr.Katrina Warren says children who keep pets can benefit a lot.Here are some advantages.
  （1）       Children often share their secrets with pets because pets don't get cross at them and don't judge.Pets are loyal，kind and they provide a gentle shoulder to cry on.Children love to include their pet in household events and celebrations such as birthdays and weddings.
  （2）When looking after a pet，children learn how to care for another living being as well as the importance of routine（常规）.Depending on the age of the child and the different pet，children can finish some tasks like feeding or walking the dog.
  （3）Most children may sit in front of TVs or computers，spending their weekends with the technology if they have nothing to do.However，playing safe games with pets or walking the dog keeps kids away from screens and get them outside to play.
  （4）Visits to the vet（兽医）can help children learn the importance of providing good health care to all living beings.Pets are also the first experience a child may have with birth and death.They can learn how to deal with the illnesses and how to face losses in life.
  Pets help children grow as a person.Animals help children learn empathy（同情心）and respect，as well as develop social skills.Children who enjoy reading out loud to their pets may become more confident and improve their reading skill，too.
  
  A．Pets can act as friends.
  B．Teach important life lessons.
  C．Help children make more friends.
  D．Children may join in more activities.
  E.Children can learn how to look after others.
