A
People and animals often enjoy loving relationships with each other. When people adopt domesticated(家养的) animals into their families as pets, animals give humans the blessings of companionship and fun in return. In the wild, animals sometimes carry out dramatic rescues of people in dangerous situations, miraculously(奇迹般地) sensing human needs and jumping in without fear to help.
In 2000, a 6-year-old boy named Elian Conzalez left Cuba on a boat bound for Florida in the United States, but the boat sank and everyone aboard drowned except for Elian and two adults. Elian and the other two survivors held onto inner tuber for 48 hours to try to stay afloat in the sea. After a while, however, Elian began to lose strength, slipping under the water and then grabbing the tube again as he fought to stay alive.
A small group of dolphins noticed Elian struggling and swan over to him to help. The dolphins formed a circle around the inner tube and took turns using their noses to lift Elian until fishermen working in the area discovered and rescued Elian and the two adults who floated nearby. The fishermen reported that, when they discovered Elian, he was repeating a prayer that his mother had taught him before drowning, asking guardian angels to protect him.
Miraculously, the dolphins knew that a child would need more help than adults, so they focused on Elian —and they figured out exactly what needed to be done and cooperated carry out that plan successfully. They made it!
1、Why did Elian slip off the tube?
A．He was tired out.
B．The dolphins helped him.
C．The two adults pushed him.
D．The tube was too smooth to grab.
2、How did the dolphins save Elian Conzalez?
A．They informed the fishermen.
B．They formed a circle around him.
C．They supported the inner tube by turns.
D．They stopped Elian slipping under the water.
3、Which of the following words can be used to describe Elian Gonzalez?
A．Confident and strong.
B．Determined and lucky.
C．Friendly and optimistic.
D．Adaptable and aggressive.
4、Which could be the best title?
A．Prayer Doing Wonder
B．Elian’s Narrow Escape
C．The Dolphins Who Rescued Elian
D．Animals: Human Being’s Angels
