One day an ordinary dog appeared in the ticket office at Campiglia, a busy railroad station on Italy's main line. A ticket agent named Elvio greeted the strange dog in a friendly way, so the dog decided to stay. From that day on, the dog became Elvio's shadow and was named Lampo.
Lampo kept Elvio company(陪伴) inside the ticket office. When the weather was warm, he would enjoy himself in the sun on the train platform.
When it was time for Elvio to return home on the train at night, Lampo ran after the train for a long way and then sadly gave up and went back to the station.
One night as Elvio was riding home on the train, he noticed that Lampo was lying at his feet. Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat. Luckily, the conductor did not notice the dog. Lampo came home with Elvio and met his family. then, after a short visit, Lampo boarded the last train and went back to the station. Lampo quickly learned all of the train schedules(时刻表).He would ride home from work with Elvio every night and then ride back to the station alone. Every morning, Lampo arrived at Elvio's house in time to walk his young daughter, Mivna, to school. The faithful dog would then take another train to Campiglia to spend time with his master, then travel again to accompany Mivna home from school at 11∶30.
Soon, Lampo began to take the trains all over Italy. Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog.
Some of the railroad officials were against Lampo's illegal travels. They were afraid he would bite a passenger or cause some other problems. Finally, the stationmaster threastened(威胁) to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog.
Elvio decided to put Lampo on a train going as far away as possible. Months went by and Lampo did not come back. Mivna missed him very much and prayed for his return. Finally one day, a sad, very thin, tired Lampo returned to Elvio's office.Everyone, even the stationmaster, was sorry about what had happened. From then on, Lampo was allowed to ride the trains whenever he wanted. After seven years, Lampo grew old, and he began to need Elvio's help to board the train.
One day Lampo was seen lying dead on the tracks. A year later, a life-sized statue(雕像) of Lampo was set up at Campiglia station.
1．The first time Lampo took the train, Elvio was ______.

查看习题详情和答案>>| When you watch TV programmes about wild animals, it is amazing to see how an antelope can escape a lion’s attack. In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies. Over millions of years of evolution, plants have developed a unique defense system. Chemicals are widely used for survival, By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous to predators (食肉动物), plants can fight back. One such plant is the Gold Wattle tree. British botanist David Cameron has found that when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin (丹宁酸) increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said. The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will get the message and produce more tannin within 10 minutes. Now, if a predator eats too many of the trees’ leaves, it will die. Every species of plant or tree specializes in the production of a particular set of chemicals. A herbivore (草食动物) that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor. In this way, plants have developed not only individual defense systems, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest. 1．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Golden Wattle tree is NOT correct? A．It fights off its enemies by producing poisonous chemicals. B．It has the ability to warn its neighboring plants of danger. C．It is only poisonous while it is being attacked. D．An animal that eats too many of its leaves may be poisoned to death. 2．It is impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest mainly because _________. A．plants will become poisonous if they are attacked. B．plants have very good individual defense systems. C．plants can protect themselves and share their defense systems. D．plants can give out special smell to fight off their enemies. 3．What does David Cameron mean in paragraph 3? A．He means that leaves of Golden Wattle trees can speak to each other. B．He intends to emphasize that the defense system of Golden Wattle is quick and effective. C．He wants to indicate that the Golden Wattle leaves are very clever. D．He is explaining how the Golden Wattle trees warn each other when they are attacked. 4．According to the writer, the unique defence system of plants is the result of _______. A．millions of years of evolution. B．their outstanding poison producing system. C．the tough natural environment. D．large numbers of herbivores in the wilderness. 5．What would be the best title for the passage ? A．Stunts in the wilderness. B．A unique plant. C．Poisonous plants. D．Plants fight back.
