One warm spring day, a little dog followed the

38、m home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didnt know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I re

39、ally didnt want to. It would break the kids hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-fou

41、the paper.Instead, I pretended I hadnt seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting.

It was the most difficult thing for me to do.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。But I had to make a decision. _The woman said, “Where is my dog? I would like to have a look at it.” _试卷第7页，共8页
