A man was sitting in the park watching the ducks on the pond， when a woman came near him．She had a white dog with her．

    She sat down on a chair， took out of a magazine and began to read．

    The dog was sitting between her and the man．

    After it had been sitting quietly for about ten minutes， the dog turned and looked up at the man．

    " Excuse me，" the dog whispered（低语），" but you look like a kind man． Please buy me from this awful woman．"

    The man could hardly believe his ears． A dog was whispering to him， in English．

" She is so mean to me，" the dog continued． "She never pets me or plays with me． She doesn't feed me properly and she often beats me when she is unhappy， which is most of the time．"

    The man was amazed to hear the dog say all this．He was even more surprised when the dog added， "And I am really a very good dog． I'm quite famous， too． I won a medal in the last war and was twice wounded in action． I've saved three children﹣two from drowning and one from a fire．"

    The man decided that he would try to buy the dog from the woman． He would pay a lot of money if necessary． The dog would soon earn tens of thousands of dollars on television． It would be the world's first talking dog．

    " Excuse me，" he said to the woman，" but I love your little dog． Will you sell him to me？"

    "I'll be pleased to sell him， " the woman said． " You can have him for ten dollars．

    " Ten dollars!" the man said． " Only ten dollars？ Why so little？ "

Mobile phone used among school kids has become a problem for the school years, so one of the rules in our country says that school kids are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school.

It is a good rule because it is hard for school kids to resist the temptation （诱惑） of mobile phones. Mobile phone was a distraction （分心事） to students during school hours and it also brought teachers so much trouble in class before. Sometimes students might use mobile phones to cheat during exams.

However, some parents feel unhappy because they can’t get in touch with their children. Many people say that they understand why these parents would want their children to have phones, but all of them think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones. So in lots of schools, if a student needs to bring a phone to school, his or her parents will have to write a statement and make sure that the phone is turned off during class. If the student breaks the rule and uses his or her phone during class, the student will be warned.

This is a reasonable rule, isn’t it? Under such a rule, students still have some freedom, and they learn how to improve self-discipline （自律能力） and live with new technologies. So rules do not necessarily mean there will be no freedom. In my opinion, freedom is based on good rules, so students should obey school rules.

根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。

1 ． School kids in our country have been stopped from carrying mobile phones ________.

A ． to school B ． to hospital C ． to supermarket D ． to library

2 ． What does the underlined word “statement” probably mean in Chinese in the passage?

A ．请假条 B ．倡议书 C ．说明 D ．通知

3 ． Some parents feel unhappy because they can’t ________ during school hours.

A ． use their mobile phones B ． help the teachers with their work

C ． leave their mobile phones in the school office D ． get in touch with their children

4 ． Which sentence is NOT true according to the passage?

A ． All of the school kids can resist the temptation of mobile phones.

B ． It is necessary to stop students from using mobile phones at school.

C ． Students mustn’t have mobile phones at school unless their parents write a statement.

D ． Freedom is based on good rules, so students should obey school rules.
