Last month I went to stay with my cousin Ken, who is a vet. I"ve always been interested in animals.
I wanted to have a week"s work experience with a vet, so it seemed a good idea. My cousin Ken is
friendly and easygoing, so I stayed with him, too. We had a lot of laughs.
In their practice, they do a lot of "small-animal" work. In other words, they look after people"s pets,
and don"t work much with farm animals. Even so, it was very interesting. During the week I helped as
much as I could. I cleaned out the animals" cages and boxes, as some of them are kept in the building
for a night or a couple of days. I also fed them. I looked after the owners when they arrived with their
pets, and made cups of tea and coffee for the two vets and the assistant. I watched all the operations
that were done and asked lots of questions.
On my last day, I helped in an operation on a cat, which had a bad leg. Sometimes a vet needs
another pair of hands. The cat lived, by the way!
I wasn"t sure what a vet"s job would be like, and I found it was very interesting. I learnt that a vet
needs a lot of scientific knowledge. Science isn"t my best subject, therefore I feel that it is not a job for
me. Even so, I"m still pleased with the work experience that I had. It"s a great help while you"re trying
to make up your mind.

B. The writer had expected to stay with Ken before.

A. vets like Ken don"t do a lot of work with farm animals
B. the writer helped them less and asked more
C. there were more farm animals than small animals there
D. the writer could do the operations on the animals
3. Sometimes the vets were _________.
A. very worried about the cat
B. very busy
C. sorry for the animal"s death

4.The underlined sentence "it is not a job for me" means _________.

like, from festival greetings to birthday wishes. In fact, e-cards are perfect for any event. That"s why more
and more people like to send e-cards. If the users are interested in making their own greeting cards on

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen 1 _ for almost a month. The
crops were dying. If it didn"t rain soon, we would lose everything.
At noon, when I was 2 making lunch, I saw my five-year-old son, Billy, 3 towards the.
woods. Minutes later, he ran back and then 4 walked towards the woods. This action-walking
carefully to the woods and running back to the house, went on for nearly an hour.
Finally I couldn"t take it any longer and decided to follow him. As I entered the woods, I saw the
most 5 sight. Two large deer appeared in front of him, and a little deer 6 _ on the ground, clearly
suffering from heat exhaustion (中暑) , was lifting its head to lap (舔) up the water cupped in my son"s
hands. When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I 7 him back to a water tap. Billy
turned it on and knelt (跪) there, letting the drops slowly fill up the "cup" formed by his hands, 8 he
stood up, I was there in front of him. His eyes just filled with tears. "I"m not wasting _ 9 _, Mum," he
said. "No, Billy. I am _10 of you!"
All I can say is the rain that came later that day saved our farm, just as one little boy saved a dying
deer.
