If man’s best friend is a dog, then who is a dog’s best friend? That would be Rover, Glow, Ivan, or Raina. These four dogs donated (捐献) blood to other dogs. And they did it without having to travel far from home. They visited an animal bloodmobile (血液车).
Similar to the Red Cross vehicles for humans, the University of Pennsylvania’s animal bloodmobile goes to where the donors are to make it easier to give. Kym Marryott is manager of Penn’s Animal Blood Bank. “You don’t really think about it until you need it,” Marryott said. “Just like us, dogs need blood too.”
Like humans, not every dog can donate blood. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be younger than 8 years old. About 150 dogs take part in the program. Each donates three or four pints a year, which can help animals suffering from illnesses like cancer or an accidental trauma (意外伤) like being hit by a car. One pint can save up to three dogs. Just like people, the dogs get a snack and a heart-shaped “U of P Blood Donor” sticker after giving. In addition, they receive free dog food to take home.
Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old black dog, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week. “I was excited that she had the right blood which could help another dog out,” she said. “We’ll do it again.”
Where did the dogs donate blood?
| A．In a zoo. | B．In their homes. |
| C．In an animal hospital. | D．In an animal bloodmobile. |
Which of the following dogs can probably donate blood?
| A．Mary,3 years old,25 pounds. | B．Kate,6 years old,60 pounds. |
| C．Tony,10 years old,56 pounds. | D．Cindy,8 years old,50 pounds. |
What can each dog get after donating blood?
①A snack②A suit of clothes
③Some dog food④A heart-shaped sticker⑤A toy car
| A．①②③④ | B．①③⑤ | C．①④⑤ | D．①③④ |
What can we infer推断 from the underlined划线的 sentence?
| A．Sandy Lucas feels excited that Raina can help other dogs. |
| B．Sandy Lucas wants to get dog food for her dog. |
| C．Sandy Lucas doesn’t think that donating blood is good for dogs. |
| D．Sandy Lucas doesn’t want to come to the animal bloodmobile again. |

On Earth Day, some people listen to speeches about the environment. Others help clean up their offices or save water and electricity at home. Your parents may even decide to take a day off from driving their cars.
The idea for Earth Day came from a US Senator (参议员), who was worried about pollution and the health of plants and animals. And the idea quickly caught on (流行起来). In 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated. More than 20 million people in cities all over the U. S. took part. Since then, Earth Day has been used to educate people about their role in taking care of our planet.
Now Earth Day has become a global celebration. In 1990, 200 million people from 140 countries took part in clean-ups, tree planting and other environmental events on Earth Day.
