Ⅰ. Choose the best answers to complete the passage below.
Milo, a two-year-old cat, walked out of his yard for the first time. He got stuck in a tall tree, without food or water for five days.
Last month, Lisa, Milo's owner* noticed her
1
didn't come back for dinner when she got back from shopping. It was nearly night. As it got late and
2
, she went to look for it. Soon she heard a cat meowing, she
3
, and found Milo in the neighbour's tree. She guessed what had happened —Some big dogs must have run after
4
, so he climbed up in fear and couldn't get down.

Lisa now felt so
5
and afraid because he might fall from the tree. She called the firemen immediately. But their ladders weren't tall enough to
6
Milo. She turned to a forest center next, but
7
, they couldn't help because of the time.
Lisa could only sit
8
the tree, calling Milo. A kind neighbour gave her cat food,
9
it might make the hungry cat get down from the tree. The dog owners took their pets for
10
outside instead of letting the dogs bark at home. With no dogs barking at the tree, Milo wouldn't climb
11
because of fear.
Then it was the fifth day
12
another neighbour Anna shared a smart way to get the cat down. Lisa decided to
13
it. Anna borrowed a long ladder from the community and climbed up to tie the rope to a thick branch*. They then lifted a
14
with Milo's favorite toys in it to him with the rope. Happily, Milo jumped right into the basket!
Lisa was so thankful. "Living in such a
15
neighbourhood is wonderful. Everyone is ready to help because they can always get help when they need it," she said, "That's really a circle of goodwill."
