Passage 16
power fit happy a sad so
read often arrive much they
Dogs are very important in my life. I lived on a farm when I was little, and there were many dogs there. My mum was a dog trainer, 1 our dogs were always well-behaved (表现好的).
I love dogs so much that I volunteer at the Willamette Humane Society. Every time I go there, I feel a mix of happiness and 2. When I walk into the kennel, the dogs either move away shyly or run towards me. Because they don't have much contact with humans, they don't know how to act around people. We work hard every day to train 3. When we leave, we miss them, but we know we've done a good job.
The hard part of the process is 4 the small paper on each kennel door. It tells the animal's age, breed, and why it came to the shelter(庇护所). Too 5, those reasons make me feel sad. I've seen puppies returned because they "have too 6 energy" "bark a lot" or "eat too much". During holidays, more animals 7 at the shelter. They are often given as gifts, but sadly, they don't meet their owners' expectations.
When you get a new pet, you must take responsibility for it, just like you would for a living person, not a toy. You can't get bored with it after 8 few weeks. And you won't understand why you suddenly take it to a shelter.
Knowledge is 9. If you want to get a pet, learn about it first. Research different breeds and find one that 10 you and your family. Then, you and your pet can live 11 together forever.

【解析】
1. 前文提到“妈妈是训狗师”，后文“狗狗表现好”为因果关系，故填连词so。

8. a few为固定短语，意为“几个”，修饰可数名词复数，故填a。
