President Bush’s dogs often play on the White House lawn（草坪）, but did you know that he also has cows and a cat? His cat is named India. India, also called “Willie”, has lived with the Bush family for more than ten years! On his farm in Crawford, Texas, he keeps a cow called Ofelia named after a person who worked with him when he worked in Texas.

Past Presidents brought many interesting animals to the White House. The wife of John Quincy Adams, the sixth President, had silkworms. Herbert Hoover, the 31^st President, had an opossum（负鼠）. And Calvin Coolidge, the 30^th President, had a raccoon（浣熊）named Rebecca.

Theodore Roosevelt, the 26^th President, was famous for his many pets. His six kids had snakes, dogs, cats, a badger, birds, guinea pigs, and more. Once, Roosevelt’s son Quentin borrowed some snakes from a pet store. Running to show his father, Quentin interrupted an important meeting and dropped the snakes all over his father’s desk!

During World War Ⅰ, Woodrow Wilson, the 28^th President, kept some sheep on the White House lawn. He did this so the First Family would appear to be supporting the war effort. The sheep’s help was great. They ate the lawn and the sheep’s wool was auctioned （拍卖）to raise money for the American Red Cross.

Some of the more unusual U.S. Presidents’ pets have been gifts from other world leaders. James Buchanan received some elephants from Thailand. The Sultan of Oman gave Martin Van Buren a pair of tigers.

But even the more common pets have had an unusual time at the White House. Warren Harding, the 29^th President, and his family had a birthday party for their dog Laddie Boy. They invited other dogs and served a dog biscuit cake.

From the White House balcony, President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and the Easter Bunny welcomed thousands of children, members of the military, staff, volunteers, and families to the 139th annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 17. "Think of it, 139. It began a long time ago: 1878," President Trump told the crowd. "And we will be stronger and bigger and better as a nation than ever before." He thanked the many volunteers who renewed "this wonderful tradition."

The annual Easter Egg Roll has its roots in the 1800s when local schoolchildren on spring break would play on the Capitol grounds and hold hard-boiled egg races down Capital Hill. This tradition ended when Congress passed the Turf Protect Law banning children from using the grounds as their "playground." In 1878, President Ruthford B. Hayes began to formally welcome children to the White House grounds each year at Easter.

The egg roll in 2017 seemed to put together three themes: children, family and the military. There were military families, multiple military bands, and a military officer singing the U.S. national anthem. At the Operation: Thank Our Troops station, children and families could color cards to send to soldiers serving overseas. Conway, the president's counselor, brought her children to the egg roll and highlighted the challenge of work-family balance. "The hardest part of my job is being away from my four children." she said," Helping the nation."

During the Easter Egg Roll , parents struggled to keep up as their children rolled brightly-colored eggs with wooden spoons down the South Lawn . Outside of the roll , kids played soccer . Some danced to the music. Many kids took turns taking photos with popular characters such as Elmo, Dr.Seuss's Cat in the Hat, the Teeenage Ninja Turtles, and Peppa Pig.

The Reading Nook was a particularly popular spot for children, who listened quietly as Melania Trump read a children's book aloud. The First Lady said she chose to read the book, Party Animals," Because it shows that we are all different, but we are all the same." When asked about her favorite part of her new role as First Lady, she said. "Serving the country. It's an honor helping people in this great nation."

1.What stopped the Easter Egg Roll tradition in history?

A. The outbreak of war　　 B. The reduction of eggs

C. The adoption of a law　　 D. The repairing of Capital Hill

2.How did Conway find her work ?

A. Difficult and boring　　 B. Pioneering and complex

C. Dangerous but meaningful　　 D. Demanding but worthwhile

3.What can be inferred about the 2017 Easter Egg Roll?

A. It featured colorful and interesting activities

B. It strengthened the nation's family values

C. It called on people to do military service

D. It stressed the importance of reading

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. A day for the kids　　 B. A tradition rolls on

C. The fun of festival activities　　 D. The story of the Easter Egg Roll
