Dear Trudy,
     Thank you for remembering my big day! I tried to forget it, but when your gift arrived I was really
happy. I love the cookbook. I saw it in stores and thought it looked interesting.  And it is! Today's
dinner comes straight from it.
     Thanks again.
                                                                                                                               Mary
Dear Heather,
     The pants you gave me are gorgeous! I can't believe you made them yourself. They look like
something from a boutique (精品店). With a gift like this, I'm not worried about being another year
older.
     Best wishes.

Dear Friends,

     I never wanted a dog, but now I'm so glad I have one.     
     About one year ago, my wife, Mary, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We
 named her Baby.     
     Baby is the kind of dog that has to grow on you.  So I decided that the dog would be trained. This
 didn't quite go as planned.  At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training 
School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾)  so loudly that I hardly got a good night's
 sleep.        
     Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in   my heart was taking place, and I 
was unable to stop it.  My behavior (行为方式)  began to change.  I began to smile at people when 
passing   them in a street.  I returned from neighbors.  I started calling my kids   and, to my surprise, 
they started calling me.  I even tried to speak to   my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was
 glad to listen to   laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter.  The point is that I was changing.           
     My wife and I both agree that it is Baby who has changed my behavior.       
     Baby is now nearly one year old and almost fully grown.  I have   come to like the pet little by little, 
 though she is my wife's dog.
1. What did the man think of the dog at the beginning?                  
A.  It wasn't very lovely.                   
B.  It looked very beautiful.                   
C.  It wasn't necessary to be trained.                  
D.  It could change his life.
2. When did the man's behavior begin to change?                   
A.  About one year ago.                 
B.  When Baby was nearly one year old.                 
C.  When Baby was 15 weeks old.                 
D.  About six months after Baby arrived.
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the man change?                
A.  He began to smile at people.                   
B.  He liked helping his neighbors.                   
C.  He started calling his kids.                
D.  He spoke to his grandchildren over the phone.
4. What can we learn from this passage?                
A. The dog has been trained very well.                 
B. The man has become more confident (自信的).                  
C. The man has become more friendly.                 
D. The man likes the dog better than his wife.
5. Who changed the man?                
A. His wife.                 
B. A dog.                
C. His neighbor.             
D. His grandchildren.
