2、 own, so my cat is like my child. I became very sad,” said Donnelly, 50. “What if he didnt make it?”Once she arrived home, Donnelly asked firefighters (消防員) to get her cat, but they were busy trying to control the fire. Then Red Paw Emergency Relief Team arrived. The organization helps pets and thei

3、r owners for free when disaster strikes. Jen Leary, who set up the group, helped find the animals once the fire was out.“Everyone who received their pets started to cry,” said Donnelly.No one was hurt, but the Donnellys building was badly damaged (損壞), and they werent sure where they were going to s

4、tay. Donnelly was excited to learn that Red Paw could provide free short-term care for Kramer, her 17-year-old cat.“When someone loses everything in a fire, they shouldnt then be forced to lose their pets their family members as well,” Leary said. “Letting them know, Well take care of your animal li

5、ke it is our own means the world to people.”After a big fire in 2011, Leary formed her organization. Since then, Leary and her group have provided help to nearly 1,000 animals and their families throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Like the Red Cross, but for animals. Red Paw cared for the Donnelly

6、s cat for more than three weeks. “I cried when we were reunited,” said Donnelly. “They went above and beyond the call of duty. I am so thankful.”For Leary, helping families and their pets is what her work is all about. “My hope is that its a start, and they can move forward together,” she said. “Aft

10、me to Death Valley. The very name of this national park in eastern California might fill some people with dread, but youre not afraid. Youre just out enjoying the desert sunshine. Besides, theres nothing out here but some rocks. Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And in the

11、ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕跡), as if the rock had been pushed along in the dirt. So who is moving the rocks? Nobody. It was nearly 100 years ago when these unusual “sailing stones” were first reported. People have been trying to find out the stones secret ever since. One early e

12、xplanation was that winds were moving the stones. Other explanations have included animals, and, of course, aliens (外星人). Until the 1990s, one widely held theory was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. (Death Valley does get cold enough for ice to

13、form on some winter nights.) However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley but not that strong.Then, in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz came up with a new theory. He suggested

14、that in the winter, thick ice forms around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解凍), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along, leaving trails behind them. Lorenz put his theory to the test in his own kitchen. He dropped a rock into a dish, added a little water, and stuck the dish in his fridge. Late

15、r, he took out the rock and placed it in a dish of water with sand at the bottom. Sure enough, with just a breath, Lorenz was able to send the rock moving across the water leaving a trail in the sand as it moved.Has Lorenz solved the mystery of the sailing stones at last? Perhaps. On the other hand,

16、 neither Lorenz nor anyone else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe aliens are responsible after all. 25. The underlined word “dread” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. fear                        B. anger  C. surprise 

17、;                D. excitement26. According to the theory in the late 20th century, the rocks were probably moved by _.A. the ice                  B.

18、the wind    C. aliens                    D. animals27. What did Ralph Lorenz find?A. The wind in Death Valley could reach a speed of 100 mph.B. The rocks in Death Valley couldnt move by themselve

19、s.C. Death Valley could get cold enough for ice to form.D. Water helped the rocks in Death Valley move.CDear friends and colleagues (同事) of Tom Blumenthal,We are organizing a celebration honoring Toms research career (生涯).
