Goldie's Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house. "No space for her any more with the baby coming. " "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present. " People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared. " "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. 
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
【小题1】How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?

A.Shocked B.SympatheticC.AnnoyedD.Upset.
【小题2】In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie _______.
A.felt worried B.was angry C.ate a little D.sat by the fire
【小题3】Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ________.
A.saw her puppies B.heard familiar barkings
C.wanted to leave the author D.found her way to her old home
【小题4】The passage is organized in order of ________ .
A.time B.effectiveness C.importance D.complexity

I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “ I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
【小题1】In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means ______.

A.UnintentionallyB.Independently
C.ImpressivelyD.Unconditionally
【小题2】From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.
A.with his familyB.with Evelyn
C.alone D.with his children
【小题3】During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ______.
A.he was determined to be a good husband
B.he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm
C.she looked lovely in her new clothes
D.the doctor said his wife was seriously ill
【小题4】The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?
A.He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.
B.She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
C.He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.
D.He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.
【小题5】By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that ______.
A.he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B.he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband
C.he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
