阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1~25各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

　Mr and Mrs Moore were invited to a Christmas party at a hotel one year, They 　1　their car outside and went in. Mr Moore had never got drunk (醉) before, so he was 　2 　not to drink too much, 　3 　his friends asked him to drink more 　4 　.

　During the party, Mrs Moore found that she had 　5 　to bring her bag, so she asked her husband to go out to the car and 　6 　it for her. He 　7 　so, but on his way back to the hotel gate, he heard a car horn (喇叭) blowing near his own car. He thought 　8 　might be in need of help and went over to the car with the 　9 　. He found a small black bear sitting in the driving seat and blowing the horn.

　When Mr Moore 　10　the party, he told several people about the bear, but of course they did not believe him and thought he was drunk. When he took them out of the hotel to 　11　that his story was 　12　, he found that the car with the 　13　in it had gone. There were so many 　14　about Mr Moore's black bear during the next week that he at last put an advertisement (广告） in the newspaper; “If any one saw a black bear blowing the horn in a car outside the Century Hotel 　15　the evening of Christmas Day, please tell…”

　Two days later 　16　Mrs Richards called him and said that she and her husband had left their pet (宠物) bear in their car outside the Century Hotel for a few minutes that evening, and that　17　he had blown the horn.

　Mrs Richards did not 　18　to think there was anything 　19　 about that. “Our bear likes blowing car horns,” she said, “and we don't 　20 　when we are not driving the car.”

　　　Can you imagine(想象)what life would be 　21　if there were no telephone? You could not call on your friends on the phone and talk to them. If fire broke out in your house, you could not call the fire department (救火队). If somebody were sick ,you couldn't call a doctor.

　　　In our daily (日常) life we need to talk with each other. We do this 　22　by speaking to others and listening to what they have to say to us, and when we are close to them we can do this very easily. But, our voices will not travel very far even when we 　23　, and it is thanks to the invention of the telephone that we are able to talk with one another and ask something when we are in different places. We can hear each other as clearly 　24　we were in the same room.

　　　Alexander Graham Bell made this possible. He spent all his spare time experimenting (实验)。 He worded so hard in his research that he had 　25 　time to make money (挣钱) and was very poor at one time.
