Surrounded by rolling green hills dotted with horses and cows, the town of Waimea on Hawaii’s Big Island is a peaceful and friendly place. One afternoon, while staying with friends at their house there, my husband and I decided to go for a 36 along the many, mostly traffic-free, country lanes in the area.
We met a beautiful Golden Retriever. He seemed 37 friendly so we stopped to play with him, 38 a stick which he retrieved(取回) several times happily. When we 39 our walk, he followed us, and although I worried that he 40 be going too far from his home, I couldn’t deny that we were enjoying his 41 .
After about twenty minutes, we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area. One house, almost hidden by shrubbery(灌木林) and shaded by tall trees,seemed 42 strange. I felt an urge to be as far away from that place as possible.
Just then, the door to the house creaked open and five dogs 43 , barking and growling as they ran toward us. I felt 44 and couldn’t move. There was nowhere to 45 and no time to run..
All of a sudden, our new friend appeared between the dogs and us. He faced them – all five of them – growling and baring his teeth. I was 46 to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him. Our protector 47 them there while we escaped. 48 a safe distance, we looked back and saw the five dogs 49 back toward their house.
But the Golden Retriever was 50 in sight. I felt an ache in my 51 ; I missed our friend already. Instinctively, I knew he was not hurt. With a feeling of 52 , we made our way back to the house, 53 the whole way that we would see him again. But it was not to be.
When I told our friend about the encounter, her eyes flew wide open 54 she exclaimed, “It was an angel!”
To this day I have no 55 that a four-legged angel protected us.

Probably many of you know the idiom “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. But do you believe a tooth for an eye? That’s something a little bit different.
This strange exchange is neither a form of retribution(报应) nor an unexpected gift from the Tooth Fairy --- it’s actually a very generous gift from a young Irishman, Robert McNichol, 23, to his formerly blind father, 57-year-old Bob McNichol.
In 2005, Bob McNichol’s sight was destroyed in an accident when his eyes were doused(溅在……上面)with liquid aluminum(铝). Doctors predicted that he would never be able to see again.
But McNichol never liked to take no for an answer: when he heard about a unique operation called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis, he knew he had to give it a shot, even though the success rate was a mere 65 percent.
In the technique, the eye socket(眼窝) is rebuilt and implanted(植入) with a human tooth and part of the jawbone, to provide support for an artificial cornea(角膜). Luckily for McNichol, Robert was willing to sacrifice one of his teeth to help his father regain his sight.
The technique isn’t simple: McNichol’s first stint on the operating table lasted ten hours, with a five hour follow-up session at a later date. But thanks to his son’s gift, he’s already seeing astonishing results.
“Now I have enough sight for me to get around and I can watch television. I have come out from complete darkness.” he told his friends.
1.Bob McNichol lost his sight ____ .
|
A.after he had an operation on his eyes |

B.because of an accident |

2.The underlined phrase “give it a shot” (in Paragraph 4) probably means “____”.
|
A.give it a try |
B.make a remark |
C.fire a gun |
D.kick the ball |
3.The tooth Bobert donated to his father is used to ____ .
|
A.make the eye socket look prettier |
B.cause his jawbone to function well |
|
C.help his father take in more food |
D.support the implanted artificial cornea |
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
|
A.Father and son |
B.A unique eye operation |
|
C.A man defeating darkness |
D.Blind man sees with aid of son’s tooth |
