A squirrel（松鼠） that was nearly killed nine years ago continues to visit the family that saved，raised and later sent her into the wild．
In October 2009， a four﹣week﹣old squirrel was almost killed by an owl（猫头鹰）． Luckily， a wildlife rescue group saved her and left her in the care of Brantley Harrison and her family in South Carolina． The Harrisons often look after wild animals and later send them back into the wild．
The Harrisons named her Bella． With three other squirrels， Bella stayed in Brantley's care until spring． During her stay Bella acted similarly to the other squirrels． In April 2010，the squirrels were sent back into the wild． Bella， however， wasn't ready to leave her human family． Within days of being released， she started visiting them， looking for treats． Brantley said that the other squirrels also came back over the first few days， but within a week they stopped coming by and began to avoid people．
"Bella usually sits at the front door， waiting for someone to notice her． She comes almost every day，" said Brantley． Her husband John often brings Bella nuts as she is usually waiting by the door for him． Actually Bella has become a member of the family．

My holiday is coming． Yesterday I asked my friends about the best way to travel in the USA． They said the best way was to go by bus and told me the reasons．
To fly， of course， is the fastest way， but you can't see anything during your stay in the air but the blue sky and white clouds． So it's not very interesting to you． And the cost is very high．
To travel by train is relaxing， because you can walk and buy food and drinks on it． You can also see cities and the countryside through the windows． But sometimes it's crowded on the train． And it's hard to buy train tickets during holidays．
To travel by bus is easy， cheap and convenient， though not so fast as travelling by plane or so comfortable as by train． You can find buses almost in every city， big or small． That makes travel easy．
I took their advice． So I decided to take a bus to the south coast for an interesting trip．
（1）How many ways to travel are mentioned in the passage？
A． Two．
B． Three．
C． Four．
D． Five．
（2）To travel by train is relaxing because ．
A． you can buy food and drinks on it
B． you can walk everywhere on it
C． You can buy tickets easily
D． you can talk loudly on it
（3）At last the writer decided to travel to the USA for the interesting trip．
A． by air
B． by train
C． by bus
D． by ship
（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A． You can't see anything during your stay in the air．
B． The fastest way to travel is by plane．
C． You can enjoy beautiful sights（风景）through the windows by train．
D． Travelling by bus is not so comfortable as by train．
