B In February 2019, my beautiful cat Xena suddenly lost the use of her back legs, and I took her straight to our vet (兽医), Chris. Xena was booked for surgery two days later. The operation was successful, and I went to see her later that day. She seemed tired, but pleased to see me and in much better shape. A few days later, I took her home, armed with medications plus instructions for her care. I had to keep her in a large cage and teach her how to walk again. And no one could tell whether Xena could walk again or not—it was largely up to her. I wasn’t expecting much, but I carried on doing as Chris had instructed. Just a week later, Xena amazed me.

Xena is now completely back to normal, I’d thought she might be defeated permanently by all that had happened to her. But this courageous little cat simply brushed it all off and got on with living.

Which word best describes the author's initial feeling about Xena’s recovery? A. Unsure. B. Inspired. C. Satisfied. D. Hopeless. 6. Why did the author remove the furniture from Xena's room? A. To avoid making a mess. B. To allow her to run faster. C. To
