Korean culture is really exciting right now. The Korean Wave is sweeping Asian countries including China. Young people are going crazy about Korean TV dramas, Korean pop songs, taekwondo and the Korean language.
The Korean Wave started a few years ago with the TV series “Winter Sonata”. This love story is still popular. People, especially girls, like the beautiful story and handsome actors like Bae Yong Jun (裴勇俊).

If man’s best friend is a dog, then who is a dog’s best friend? That would be Rover, Glow, Ivan, or Raina. These four dogs donated (捐献) blood to other dogs. And they did it without having to travel far from home. They visited an animal bloodmobile (血液车).
Similar to the Red Cross vehicles for humans, the University of Pennsylvania’s animal bloodmobile goes to where the donors are to make it easier to give. Kym Marryott is manager of Penn’s Animal Blood Bank. “You don’t really think about it until you need it,” Marryott said. “Just like us, dogs need blood too.”
Like humans, not every dog can donate blood. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be younger than 8 years old. About 150 dogs take part in the program. Each donates three or four pints a year, which can help animals suffering from illnesses like cancer or an accidental trauma (意外伤) like being hit by a car. One pint can save up to three dogs. Just like people, the dogs get a snack and a heart-shaped “U of P Blood Donor” sticker after giving. In addition, they receive free dog food to take home.
Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old black dog, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week. “I was excited that she had the right blood which could help another dog out,” she said. “We’ll do it again.”
Where did the dogs donate blood?
| A．In a zoo. | B．In their homes. |
| C．In an animal hospital. | D．In an animal bloodmobile. |
Which of the following dogs can probably donate blood?
| A．Mary,3 years old,25 pounds. | B．Kate,6 years old,60 pounds. |
| C．Tony,10 years old,56 pounds. | D．Cindy,8 years old,50 pounds. |
What can each dog get after donating blood?
①A snack ②A suit of clothes
③Some dog food ④A heart-shaped sticker ⑤A toy car
| A．①②③④ | B．①③⑤ | C．①④⑤ | D．①③④ |
What can we infer推断 from the underlined划线的 sentence?
| A．Sandy Lucas feels excited that Raina can help other dogs. |
| B．Sandy Lucas wants to get dog food for her dog. |
| C．Sandy Lucas doesn’t think that donating blood is good for dogs. |
