She could feel the rays of the big, bright, beautiful sun warming her like a woolen blanket,and she could smell sweet sunflowers in her nearby garden. As she playfully tried to get a tennis ball out of Blondie’s mouth, her dad told her they were going to the park with her brother Samuel. As Erika, Samuel, Blondie and their dad began to walk towards the park, they heard a loud whimper (嗚咽), ing from under their big red van (貨車) parked in their driveway. When they checked under the van, they found a dog lying on its side and he looked as dirty as a rat.He also smelled like rotten eggs. The family decided to feed the dog.Blondie walked over to an oak tree near the front porch to take a nap.When Erika and Samuel grabbed the dog food from inside the cabinet, their dad found the dog was too dirty and wanted to bath the dog. After their dad finished filling the metal tub with water, he tried to put the lost dog into the water. However, the dog refused to jump in.Now Blondie woke up from her nap. She raised her head, jumped up, jogged over to the tub and began licking the stray dog’s face. Blondie suddenly jumped in the bath, and strangely, the lost dog followed. It was clear that Blondie liked the new dog.So, Erika and her dad began to give both dogs a bath, but they soon realized that the lost dog had two deep cuts on his back.After the bath ended and they dried off both dogs, Erika quickly ran back into the house to grab some bandages. After wrapping him up, Erika fed him a large bowl of dog food. Her dad announced they would take him to a shelter tomorrow morning and Erica agreed. She named the dog Lucky and made a little bed for him to sleep that night.The next cloudy morning Erika, Samuel, their dad, and Blondie left for the shelter.注意: 1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;2. 請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。 When they got to the shelter, they found it was closed and saw a worker inside. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A few weeks later, Erika saw a post of Lucky?the lost dog in a local newspaper. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
