Last night one of our 3 family dogs was hit and killed by a car in front of my mother’s house. The dogs became more or less, my mother’s children after her human children grew up and moved out and my father ran with a midlife crisis and left her. The one that was killed had bonded with my mom far more than the others. She is shocked and upset. I loved the dog, but my true sadness currently results from having to watch my mother experience another tragedy after everything she has been through in her life.

In the midst of all of this I have to sincerely applaud the driver of the vehicle, which feels wrong, but it's not.

I’ll start by stating it was not his fault. The dog chased(追赶) a deer into the road at night. In an effort to not hit the deer with his car he changed direction suddenly, not seeing the dog, leading to her deaths. He could have very easily continued on his way, but he did something that I hope I never forget. He did the right thing (in my eyes). The driver pulled over, carefully wrapped our dog in a blanket he got from his car, and carried her up to my mother's front door.

He was visibly shaking and very upset. He informed my mother of what happened and she broke down immediately. He consoled her the best a stranger could and waited with her while my sister rushed to her house. He left his information and offered assistance in anyway he could.

Yes, he is the man who hit and killed our dog-accidentally. What he really did was sparing my mother from discovering unexpectedly a horrible scene herself while searching for the dog. He had so many choices. Choices that were far easier than what he chose. He did the right thing and for that, thank you, stranger. You recovered my faith in humanity.

1.What can we learn about the author's mother?

A.She has suffered a lot in her life. B.She has grown up with her dogs.

C.She misses her husband very much. D.She has three dogs killed in an accident.

2.What's the author s attitude towards the dog-killer?

A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent. C.Critical. D.Praising.

3.What does the underlined word “consoled” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Encouraged. B.Followed. C.Comforted. D.Helped.

4.What is the best tide for the text?

A.An Unfortunate Accident B.Sadness over a Dog’s Death

C.An Easy-to-Make Choice D.Faith in Humanity Recovered
