It’s a too long story —17 months to be exact —with an ending that’s short and sweet. Ruthie has, finally and happily, been reunited with her family.
The story goes back to October, 2005. Ruthie, 8 months old, was sitting on the back seat of the family car when her owner walked hurriedly into a Long Island store. When Nancy Noel returned a few minutes later, Ruthie was nowhere in sight.
Nancy Noel and her husband, Lincoln Werden, got in touch with Nassau County police, put up flyers (小传单) around their Manhasset neighborhood. But no sightings of Ruthie were reported. Until last week, that is, someone sent Ruthie to a Manhattan shelter after finding her walking slowly around the Bronx — 25 miles from where she was taken on that fateful October day.
And then, shelter workers searched Ruthie for a possible microchip (微芯片) —she had one fixed under her skin. It showed her family’s name and address. Ruthie was immediately reunited with Nancy Noel and her daughter, Sara Werden.
“We never thought we would see her again,” said Sara Werden. “We were just amazed.”
She’s no longer the tiny pup they last saw. In fact, Ruthie gained (增加) 10 pounds during her months away from home. She’s on a diet now, a nd has already lost one and a half pounds. Ruthie also has a new friend to play with. The family had got another dog, named Holly, after losing the hope of ever finding their beloved
Ruthie.
38. According to the passage, when did Ruthie get together with her family?
A. In October 2005.
B. In March 2006.
C. In May 2007.
D. In March 2007.
39. According to the passage, Ruthie should be _____.
A. a pet dog that Nancy Noel raised
B. one of Nancy Noel’s daughters
C. one of Holly’s sisters
D. a police working for Nancy Noel
40. Which of the following shows the right time order according to the passage?
a. Ruthie was sent to a shelter.
b. Ruthie stayed outside a Long Island store.
c. Ruthie was fixed a microchip.
d. Ruthie reunited with her family.
e. Shelter workers found Ruthie’s address.
A. baecd
B. caebd
C. bedac
D. cbaed
41. Which of the following can be inferred according to the passage?
A. Ruthie was stolen by a thief.
B. Ruthie had enough food during the days when she was lost.
C. Nancy Noel never lost the hope of finding Ruthie.
D. Ruthie had to put on weight after she was found again.
D
Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru. He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest （牧师）in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.
John Medcalf, the priest，was moved. He also realised that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books，they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.
But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other methods could be used?
Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot（赤脚）doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians（图书管理员）first appeared in the villages of northern Peru，almost thirty years ago.
The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The Rura1 Library Network of Peru.
At first，they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, village leaders took on the job themselves.
Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who
walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.
42. The first paragraph tells us that Leonardo
A. had a lot of books
B. bought candles from others
C. enjoyed reading books
D. lived in the church
43. The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “”
A. to grow to love books
B. to bring books to people
C. to read and write
D. to build a new library
44. The passage doesn't mention
A. when the barefoot librarians appeared
B. who worked as village librarians at first
C. where Medcalf met Chinese doctors
D. how many village libraries Peru has today
45. It can be inferred（推断）from the passage that ．
A. the first church in Peru was set up by John Medcalf
B. car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo's village
C. teachers were interested in bringing books to villagers
D. the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries

Dear Headmaster:
I’m writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host families of the England students.
We have a large and clean house, which lies in a beautiful community in Meishan. What’s more, I am good at English and my parents are both English teachers. So I am sure I have no difficulty in communicating with our guests. In addition, last week, we hosted two guests from New Zealand. We had great fun with each other and I got much experience as well during their stay. I will show them around the places of interest in Meishan. They will surely be fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Meishan. Besides, my mother cooks well, so they can have a taste of local food. I am sure they will have a good time here.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours, Maomao。
