Wendy lived with her parents, Mr and Mrs Darl...

Wendy lived with her parents, Mr and Mrs Darling, and her brothers, John and Michael, at number 14 (the house number on their street).

The children had a nurse because the neighbours’ children had nurses, and Mr. Darling wanted to be like his neighbours. But the family was poor so their nurse wasn’t like other children’s nurses. She was a big dog and her name was Nana.

Nana put the children to bed every evening and she looked after them if they cried in the night. Her kennel was in the children’s bedroom, just next to their beds.

Nana was a good nurse, but Mr Darling was a bit worried. He worried about the neighbours. Sometimes he thought, “What do they think of me? Do they think that the Darlings are a strange family because the children’s nurse is a dog?” He also thought that Nana didn’t like him. But Mrs Darling always said:”Nana loves you very much, George.”

The Darling family was a very happy family. Sometimes Mr. And Mrs Darling and their children all danced around the sitting room together. What a lovely tie they had! But then, Peter Pan arrived!

One morning Mrs Darling found some leaves on the bedroom floor. She was surprised because it was a strange place to find leaves. When Wendy saw them, she smiled and said:”Oh! It’s Peter again! He is a naughty boy! He never cleans his feet” Wendy told her mother that Peter Pan came into their bedroom during the night. It was the first time that Mrs Darling heard about Peter Pan.

Mr. and Mrs. Miller lived with a pet dog, Rita. They started a sailing trip with Rita last November. On the seventh day of the trip, Mr. and Mrs. Miller were having a wonderful time when a storm（暴风雨） suddenly came. While the Millers were trying hard to keep the boat out of danger, they forgot about Rita. A moment later, they found Rita was lost. The couple were worried if she had died in the water. “Because it was a cloudy day, we just couldn’t find her even though we searched carefully for over an hour,” Mrs. Miller told BBC News. “We thought that if she fell into the water, she would be gone because of the big waves.”

Mr. and Mrs. Miller kept sad on their way home because they lost their favorite pet. But four months later, they received some surprising news — Rita had been found on an island. After falling off the boat, she had swam five miles to the island. And she lived by eating small animals there.

The people on the island first thought that she was a wild dog because she did not let people come close to her. However, when Mr. and Mrs. Miller came to pick her up, Rita knew who they were at once. “After I called her name, she jumped up and almost knocked me down,” Mrs. Miller said.

Rita’s terrible experience was finally over. She is all right at home now, relaxing by the pool. But Mrs. Miller is still not sure what her dog went through.

Rita was just a common house dog. She swam over five miles and lived successfully on her own.

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

1.When did Mr. and Mrs. Miller start a sailing trip?

2.What happened on the trip?

3.Where was Rita found at last?

4.How did Rita live during the four months?

5.Did Rita remember the Millers when they came to pick her up?

Mr. and Mrs. Mallard(野鸭) were looking for a place to live. But every time Mr. Mallard saw what looked like a nice place, Mrs. Mallard said it was no good. There were sure to be foxes in the woods, or turtles in the water, and she was not going to raise a family(养家)there. Because she didn’t want foxes or turtles(乌龟)nearby. So they flew on and on.

When they got to Boston, they felt too tired to fly any further. There was a nice pond(池塘) in the public garden with a little island on it. “The good place to spend the night!” said Mr. Mallard. So down they came down from the sky.

Next morning they fished for their breakfast in the mud(泥地) at the bottom of the pond. But they didn’t find much. Just as they were getting ready to start on their way, a strange large bird came by. It was pushing a boat full of people, and there was a man sitting on its back. “Good morning,” said Mr. Mallard. The big bird was too proud to answer. But the people on the boat threw peanuts into the water. So the Mallards followed them all round the pond, and got another breakfast, better than the first.

“I like this place,” said Mrs. Mallard as they climbed out on the bank and waddled(蹒跚) along. Why don’t we build a nest and raise our ducklings(小鸭子) right in this pond? There are no foxes and no turtles, and the people feed us peanuts. What could be better?”

“Wonderful,” said Mr. Mallard. He felt happy that at last Mrs. Mallard had found a good place. But— “Look out!” cried Mrs. Mallard. “You’ll get run over!” And when she got her breath(呼吸), she said: “This is no place for babies, with all those terrible things around us. We’ll have to look somewhere else.”
