完形 填空赏析

It’s about 250 miles from the hills of

west- central

Iowa to Ehlers’ home in

Minnesota. During the long trip home, following a weekend of hunting,

Ehlers

thought

about the small dog he had seen

trembling

alongside the

road.

He

had

tried

to

coax(

哄

)the

dog

to

him

but,

frightened,

it

had

run off

.

Back home, Ehlers was troubled by that

lost

dog. So, four days later,

he

called

his

friend

Greg,

and

the

two

drove

back

.

After

a

long

and

careful

search

, Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving

cautiously

away.

Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him.

Nervousness

and fear were replaced with

joy

. It just started licking(

舔

)

Ehlers’ face.

A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one

advertised

as lost

in

the

local

paper.

The

ad

had

a

phone

number

for

a

town

in

southern

Michigan. Ehlers

called

the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had

found

their dog.

Jeff

had

hunted

in

Iowa

before

Thanksgiving

with

his

dog,

Rosie,

but the gun shots had scared the dog off. Jeff searched

in vain

for Rosie in

the next four days.

Ehlers

returned

to

Minnesota,

and

then

drove

100

miles

to

Minneapolis

to

put

Rosie

on

a

flight

to

Michigan.

It

’

s

good

to

know

there

’

s

still

someone

out

there

who

cares

enough

to

go

to

that

kind

of

trouble

,” says Lisa of Ehlers’ rescue

effort

.

“

I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as

close

to it as I

am

to

my

dogs

,”

says

Ehlers.

“If

it

had

been

my

dog,

I’d

hope

that

somebody would be

willing

to go that extra mile

.”
