　　The anger of PETA has now been turned on KFC, the fried-chicken chain. After two years of failed talks aimed at forcing KFC to introduce more humane(人道的) practices into the raising and killing of chickens, PETA announced last week that it would start a worldwide “Kentucky Fried Cruelty” movement .

　　PETA wants KFC to kill its chickens using gas rather than cutting their throats, to increase their living space and to provide resting-place for the birds. “KFC has got a lot from chickens but treated them badly, leaving us no choice but to turn up the hest.” said Bruce Friedrich, PETA's director. “McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's did some-thing under the pressure; KFC would do well to follow their lead.”

　　The PETA movement intends to catch the attention of anyone who has ever had close dealings with a chicken. “Chickens are intersting animals,” the moverment's press release (新聞稿) begins, “ and are thought to be at least as clever as dogs or cats. ” Mr. Friedrich of PETA insists that social relations among chickens are more developed than those among cats, and are nearly as developed as those among dogs. “When Jesus(耶穌) was looking for a way to express god's love for man, he used the example of a hen's love for her young.” he said.

1．PETA might be ________.

[　　]

A．people watching over restaurants

B．people who raise chickens

C．people demanding animal rights

D．people who believe in Jesus

2．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

[　　]

A．some other organisations have given in to PETA

B．killing chickens makes PETA very angry

C．PETA insists chickens be protected instead of being killed

D．KFC treats chickens as cruelly as dogs and cats

3．PETA tries to win the public's support by ________.

[　　]

A．turning up the heat

B．giving the example used by Jesus

C．holding two-year talks with KFC

D．exciting people's pity on the bird

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.

　　Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it：“Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently：“Take this to the butcher（* person whose job is selling meat）and he's going to give you your lunch today.”

　　Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

　　At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

　　The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers（*people who buy sth. from a shop）.

　　But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He  said to himself, “This is a small dog.
