For most kids, the best thing about going to fast-food restaurants might not be the food, but the toys. Looking

his hobby. “For example, it gives me a glimpse of that particular period of my life when I first got it and it is a

D. Answer the questions
根据短文内容回答下列问题。
We went to an animal shelter to adopt (收养) a puppy, but in reality, it was the puppy who adopted us. As we
looked into the cage, a small, three-month-old beagle (小猎兔狗) puppy began wagging her tail. She seemed to
say, “Oh, you’re the family I’ve been looking for!” And for the next fifteen years, Pudding (we named her Pudding
because she was as sweet as a pudding dessert) became part of our family.
Pet ownership has always been popular in Western countries. Now, China is also discovering its love for cats
and dogs. It now ranks No.3 in the world for pet ownership. The pet industry, which sells food and toys as well as
grooming (刷洗梳毛) and vet services, is one of the country’s fastest-growing industries.
Pets bring a lot of joy to your home, but they are also a big duty. Pets are not toys. You cannot put them away
when you are tired of playing with them. Dogs, in particular, need to be trained to behave properly and they need
exercise. Even in bad weather, you have to take them for walks or for a run in the park. And, while you are training
your dog, your dog is also training you to think about others and care about others, not just about yourself.
Pudding was my best friend when I was growing up. We sat together on the sofa and watched television. She
kept me company when I was doing my homework. And when I came home, she was always there to greet me,
leaping up and barking and wagging her tail.
Pudding is now gone, but you can still recognize her in old family photos: She is the one wearing fur.
54 How old was the beagle when the author adopted her?
