D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)（12分）
Dear Mr. Henshaw,
I finished Beggar Bears in two nights. It is a really good book. At first, I was surprised because it wasn’t funny
like your other books, but then I got to thinking (you said readers should think) and decided a book doesn’t have to
be funny to be good, although it often helps. This book did not need to be funny.
In the first Chapter I thought it was going to be funny. I guess I expected it because of your other books and
the mother bear was teaching her cubs to beg from tourists in Yellowstone Park. Then when the mother died
because a stupid tourist fed her a cupcake in a plastic bag and she ate the bag, too, I knew this was going to be a sad
book. Winter was coming on, tourists were leaving the park and the little bears didn’t know how to look for food
for themselves. When they hibernated (冬眠) and then woke up in the middle of winter because they had eaten all
the wrong things and hadn’t stored up enough fat, I almost cried. I sure was relieved when the nice ranger (护林员)
and his boy found the young bears and fed them and the next summer taught them to hunt for the right things to eat.
I wonder what happens to the fathers of bears. Do they just go away?
Sometimes I lie awake listening to the gas station “pingping”, and I am upset because I am afraid something
might happen to Mom. She is so little compared to most moms, and she works so hard. I don’t think Dad is much
interested in me. He didn’t phone when he said he would.
I hope that ____ 93 ____ .
Sincerely,
Leigh Botts
