  One morning, Mrs Smith was driving home after She had done some shopping. When she passed a rubbish dump, she noticed 1 like a microwave oven not far from the side of the road.

  “John is a good 2 ,” she said to herself. “Perhaps he can 3 this. I'll take it home and let him try.”

  She picked up the oven and put it in the 4 of her car. Then she drove on 5 . A few kilometers later, she heard the siren of 6 behind her. She looked in the driving mirror and saw a policeman 7 to her to pull over and stop.

  Mrs Smith was very 8 . She slowed down at the side of the road. A 9 policeman got out of the police car and walked up to her.

  “Can I see your 10 license, please?” he demanded politely. He copied 11 details of her name, address and the number of her car. “ 12 , officer?” Mrs Smith asked.

  The policeman did not reply. He looked 13 the car and then at the back.

  “Open the boot, please.” he said to Mrs Smith.

  Mrs Smith was even more puzzled. She opened the boot 14 pointed to the “microwave oven”. “I 15 this old microwave oven a few minutes ago.” she said, “I am just taking it home to see if my 16 can repair it.”

  The policeman stared at her for a moment to see if she was 17 the truth.

  “That's not a microwave oven,” he said at last. “That's our radar set. It was the start of a speed trap. Do you mind if we have it 18 ?”

  Mrs Smith's face turned 19 . “Oh,” she said, “I'm very sorry. I wouldn't have 20 itif I'd know what it was.”

I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.

There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.

Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.

While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.

3.How did the calf feel about the mother elephant’s roaring?

A. It was a great comfort.          B. It was a sign of danger.

C. It was a call for help.           D. It was a musical note.
