What do you think of cats? Some people think they are very lovely. But not all people love cats. Compared with dogs,cats seem to be very lazy and unfriendly. Besides,cats are not known for acts of
selflessness (无私). But maybe we’re wrong about them. Don’t believe it? Then meet Pippa,a very unusual cat.
The black-and-white cat was left in a box outside a shop and taken by the British RSPCA to the Jansa family in Whitstable,Kent. They really loved her character (性格) and decided to adopt (收养) it,but they never guessed she’d become a lifesaver.
Eight-year-old Mia Jansa had diabetes and had become good at testing her blood during the day,as well as having something to eat or drink to bring her blood sugar levels back. But the danger was at night. Mia could easily experience hypoglycemic (低血糖症的) situations when she was asleep,which could cause even death.
Soon after she was adopted,Pippa went into Mia’s bedroom in the middle of the night and woke her up. When the child tested her blood sugar levels,she found they were dangerously low. Ever since,Pippa always visits Mia at night. If she can’t get her to wake up,she raises the alarm.
“Pippa does this of her own accord,” says Mia’s mother Laura. “We don’t make a request for caring because we don’t want to encourage wrong alarms. She gets plenty of hugs. It gives me peace of mind and I know someone else is keeping an eye on Mia. ”
Now the family is so happy that they’ve chosen to adopt it in the first place.

Ⅱ. 完形填空
Over the last summer I volunteered at a summer camp for children ages 5 through 12. In the process,I developed a better
1
of responsibility not just myself,but for
2
around me.
In the beginning I helped with a
3
of twelve-year-olds. I had a lot of fun because they were the most mature
4
. They didn’t need as
5
help as the younger kids so the director of the camp switched me down to six-year-olds.
I had experience of an adventure camp in the past. But nothing could have
6
me for working non-stop with 15 six-year-olds. From fights over batting order
7
who got to sip from the water fountain first,we were in a constant
8
of noise. I could now understand why parents always seemed to
9
a sigh of relief as they
dropped off their little bundles of energy every morning.
For the first summer I was doing something that
10
someone else,and I found more
11
in that than any wasted breezy day of summers past.
During this unique opportunity of giving a
12
part of my summer,I was able to get back so much more. I learned how much my time is really
13
and how to take responsibility for myself and
14
others. I learned how different each individual is and how needs vary. I gained more confidence when I realized I could
15
in the real world.
