　　Katharine

　　Mehta's mother likes to joke that the first sentence her daughter said was “I love dogs.” It's not the fact，but it's certainly true in spirit.

　　“When I was young，my grandmother told me about how she sometimes found stray dogs and cats，and kept them on her farm as pets，” says Katharine.“That made me wonder what would happen when animals didn't have a home.I felt horrible thinking that they might be hungry or could get hit by a car.”

　　But what could a little girl do? The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago，where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts，a local no-kill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，” she says.

　　Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog，she decided to start a summer dog-walking service.She chose two friends and，with their parents' permission，the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，” she says.“By the end of that summer，we'd collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma，came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fresh-baked shortbread to their neighbors.

　　The 11-year-old，who starts sixth grade this fall，has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog，she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”

　　Katharine's passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them，” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”

　　Notes：

　　stray adj.流浪的　②shortbread n．黃油甜酥餅

　　【語篇解讀】 本文主要講了11歲女孩Katharine是如何關愛和幫助流浪狗等小動物的。

　　1．Katharine's love of dogs comes from ________.

　　A．her grandmother's influence

　　B．her mother's influence

　　C．the influence of an organization

　　D．seeing a dog killed by a car

　　答案　A　[細節理解題。由第二段可知，Katharine關心流浪狗是受奶奶的影響。]

　　2．How did Katharine help the organization—Mighty Mutts?

　　A．By walking stray dogs.

　　B．By giving shortbread to stray dogs.

　　C．By collecting money.

　　D．By making speeches everywhere.

　　答案　C　[推理判斷題。由第三、四段可知，Katharine為別人遛狗掙錢，然后捐給Mighty Mutts，并且經常勸說養狗的人為Mighty Mutts捐款，故選C。]

　　3．The underlined part “be put to sleep” in the last paragraph means “________”．

　　A．to be supplied with a comfortable place for sleeping

　　B．to be given drugs so that they can die without pain

　　C．to be made unconscious before a medical operation

　　D．to be made to sleep

　　答案　B　[詞義猜測題。Katharine很有愛心，非常關心無家可歸的小動物，所以她一想到流浪的小動物被人們用藥物所謂“仁道地”殺死，她就會心痛地流淚。put to sleep意為“用藥物使(長眠)，無痛苦地殺死”。]

　　4．What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Katharine and her pets

　　B．An organization for rescuing stray dogs

　　C．Pet dogs are popular with children

　　D．A little girl helps strays

　　答案　D　[主旨大意題。全文主要講述了小女孩Katharine幫助、關愛流浪狗，故正確答案為D。]
