    I still remember it was in the winter of 1990 that, together with the help of my older sister, I   41   down my wishes for Christmas onto a piece of paper. How I wished on Christmas Eve my grandest wish would be   42   and placed under the Christmas tree—a puppy. When we were done, our wish-lists were collected by our parents with the promise to be   43   to Santa’s hard-working helpers.     The next day, our parents sat us down in the living-room, with   44  expressions on their faces. As it   45  , they had seen our wishes, now wanting to talk to us about one wish   46   — the puppy. For a moment, I held my breath, but was   47   when they told us that they weren’t against a puppy. What they   48   against was putting it under the Christmas tree. That was not a good idea.     They   49   taught us that an animal was not a gift that belonged to the same   50   as our toys. Animals were creatures with   51   .

An animal was not a   56  , but a family decision. A serious decision. And a big decision.      57  , my Parents share my love for animals, so the decision came reasonably   58  . After our grandparents had given their  59  up for taking care of the dog, while we were on future vacations, the answer was yes. Yes, we would get a puppy.     The following days and weeks, there was only one   60  ：our new family member! Yes, a family member, because animals have their rights. They are not simply food or gifts. We humans must attend, love and protect them. 41．A. left B. got   C. pulled          D. set 42．A. fulfilled B. declined C. challenged D. rejected 43．A. given away B. taken on C. passed on D. put up 44．A. dangerous B. curious C. mysterious D. serious 45．A. taken out B. turned out C. run out D. held out 46．A. in peace B. in order C. in return D. in particular 47．A. relieved B. frightened C. inspired D. pardoned 48．A. objected B. protested     C. opposed      D. resisted 49．A. hurriedly B. patiently C. anxiously D. roughly 50．A. category B. routine   C. schedule D. arrangement      51．A. secrets B. feelings C. characters D. sufferings 52．A. convenience B. tradition C. heritage D. extension 53．A. signed B. attained C. meant    D. guaranteed 54．A. put forward B. put up C. put off D. put aside 55．A. precious B. original C. responsible D. native 56．A. puzzle B. servant C. gift  D. victim 57．A.
