Ⅱ. 阅读理解
After selling my house and leaving my job, I planned to take my cat Cindy to travel around the world.
In the past, we went to quite a few places in America. We saw forests and mountains together and they were fantastic. This year, we spent three months staying on the beach in Canada. Some people were surprised to find that I was travelling with a cat. Once a woman even shouted, “There is a cat trying to get into your van!”
I know. The van, a small house on wheels (车轮), is our home. I built it by myself with a bed.
Cindy likes finding out places she has never visited, but she doesn't like to go too far from our van. She loves to sit in the van and enjoy the great view through the window. I posted our photos on the Internet and millions of people around the world liked our trip.
We are lucky to have each other. I will never forget about the trip we had together. If Cindy taught me something, it is that you don't need a lot to be happy.
