Risk Loving It
Do you know how it is when you want something so much it hurts? That's the way it was with me on my 11th birthday. I didn't know then that getting something doesn't mean it will always be yours.
It was a Saturday. Dad gave me $25 to my own birthday gift. While passing a pet shop, I found a little dog called Yorky. When he saw me he barked twice, pawing（挠）the window. I went inside and reached down to pet him; he licked（舔）my hand. I bought York at once. Since then, Yorky followed me everywhere, often jumping up and down with excitement. I believed he was mine forever.
It happened in February. I was going home from school as usual, and I stopped three blocks away to whistle for Yorky. He didn't come. I whistled again. Then I began to run. I stopped before I got to the street in front of our house. I could see him lying still in the middle of the street on his side. I saw the tire marks. I knew he was dead.
Then I put all my energy into baseball. At least I was tired at night and could sleep without missing Yorky. One afternoon, I was halfway home when I noticed this thing following me. It was the funniest-looking dog you've ever seen. "Get away from me! I don't like dogs," I shouted. But for two days it kept showing up at my door. I began to feed it when Dad got home from work and said, "Go ahead. Risk loving it." Then I held the dog up in my arms and cried like a baby.
I found Yorky dead_____.
A、under the tire of a car
B、on one side of the street
C、on my way home after school
D、three blocks away from my home
【正确答案】：C
【题目解析】：I could see him lying still in the middle of the street on his side. I saw the tire marks. I knew he was dead.我能看见他一动不动地躺在街中央。我看到了轮胎的痕迹。我知道他死了。
A选项Yorky死在汽车轮胎下面，只看到了轮胎的痕迹，并未看到死在轮胎之下，B死在街道的一边，文中说我能看见他一动不动地躺在街中央，因此错误。
D选项死在离我家三个街区远的地方，I stopped three blocks away to whistle for Yorky. He didn't come. 我在三个街区外停下来给Yorky吹口哨。他没来。并不是他死在了离我家三个街区远的地方，C选项死在我回家的路上，正确。
