“Keep quiet!” said Jessie. The three children did not say a word. They quietly looked at the trees.
“I wonder if it’s a cat,” thought Benny.
Soon something came out. But it wasn’t a cat. It was a dog.
“It’s all right,” said Jessie. “It’s only a dog, but there is something wrong with his foot.”
The dog looked up and saw the children, and then he wagged(摇动) his tail.
“Poor dog,” said Jessie. “Are you lost? Come over here and let me look at your foot.”
The dog came to Jessie. Jessie looked at the foot and said, “Oh, dear! You poor dog! There is a big thorn in your foot.” The dog stopped crying and looked at Jessie.
“Good dog,” said Jessie. “I can help you.”
The dog looked up at Jessie and wagged his tail again.
“Violet,” ordered Jessie, “please wet my handkerchief(手帕).”
Jessie sat down and gave him a little piece of bread. Then she began to pull out the thorn. It was a long thorn. Jessie pulled and pulled, and at last the thorn came out.
Violet had a wet handkerchief ready. Jessie put it around the dog’s foot, and he looked up at her and wagged his tail a little.
“He wants to say ‘Thank You’, Jessie!” cried Violet.
“He is a good dog,” said Benny.
“Yes, he is,” agreed Jessie. “Now I had better hold him for a short time so that he will rest his leg.”

答案
1.B 2.C 3.B 4.B
解析
1. 本题考查人物性格推断。根据原文，Jessie发现狗脚受伤后，主动帮狗拔出脚上的刺、包扎伤口，还打算让狗休息腿部，这些行为体现她对动物友善，因此选B；2. 本题考查词义猜测。根据原文，Jessie帮狗拔出了脚里的thorn，结合常识，动物脚中扎入的异物是“刺”，因此thorn的中文意思是“刺”，选C；3. 本题考查细节理解。根据原文中Violet的话“He wants to say ‘Thank You’, Jessie!”可知，狗摇尾巴是为了表示感谢，因此选B；4. 本题考查细节理解。根据原文最后一句“Now I had better hold him for a short time so that he will rest his leg.”可知，Jessie想抱着狗是为了让狗的腿休息，因此选B。
