When a very young squirrel(松鼠)fell off a tree, he didn’t know that would start a most unusual friendship.

Linda found the squirrel and his sister lying on the ground. They had fallen about 40 feet out of their nest(窩). The sister was dead. The other survived because he landed on his sister. Linda thought their mother, who was found nearby, died from being poisoned. Many people put out mouse poison and squirrels ate it. Linda decided to care for the newly-born squirrel. She named him Finnegan.

But Linda worried that her dog Giselle might hurt Finnegan. “I didn’t know if she wanted the squirrel for breakfast, or if she wanted it as a toy.” However, to her surprise, Giselle liked Finnegan and she took care of Finnegan, too. And they played, ate, and slept together. After a short time, Giselle and Finnegan bonded.

Linda tried to teach Finnegan how to eat nuts, and taught him to find food himself. She said squirrels shouldn’t be kept as pets. When Finnegan was 8 weeks old, Linda started letting him outside. At first, he ran around but would stay in Linda’s yard. Every night, he would scratch(用指甲撓)at the back door or at one of Linda’s windows to be let in. Linda refused. Then one day, he didn’t come back. Two weeks later, he returned with four squirrels, and then disappeared again and returned one more time – on Thanksgiving Day. “He came close, but he wouldn’t let me touch him. He just wanted me to know he was OK. He’s wild, free and happy and doing exactly what he’s supposed to be doing. ”Linda smiled with tears.

1.What does the underlined word “bonded” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Met each other.                                    B.Became honest with each other.

                               C.Kept away from each other.                   D.Developed a friendly relationship.

2.According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

                               B.People didn’t like squirrels and wanted to kill them.

                               C.Finnegan once thought Linda’s house was his own home.

                               D.Finnegan returned to the wild and lived alone.

3.Which diagram can show the structure of the passage?

4.Linda probably felt         when she refused to let Finnegan in.

A.sad but hopeful   B.happy and interested C.a(chǎn)fraid and helpless D.excited but lonely

5.Which book is the story most probably from?
