阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it. The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort, so I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the local paper’s lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone showed up. To convince myself, I thought its owners should come looking for it if they really loved it.

By the end of the week, the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. Despite the excuses I had come up with, I found myself checking the lost-and-found in the local paper. One day the following week, a particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded (怦怦跳) with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate (绝望). My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.

Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put the paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.

By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand.

There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It would be the most difficult thing I’d ever done.

Todmorden is an ordinary town in England. In less than two years, it has changed the way it produces its food and the way its residents think about the environment. Compared with 18 months ago, a third more townspeople now grow their own vegetables, almost 7 in 10 now buy local produce regularly, and 15 times as many people are keeping chickens. “Our aim is to make our town completely self-sufficient in food production,” said Pam Warburst, who planned the project, Incredible Edible.

The change started 18 months ago. Nick Green, who runs a company that provides workspace for local artists took on the job of doing the planting. He chose the first land in the middle of the town and it attracted plenty of attention. “We wanted everyone to see what we were doing, so they could ask questions and finally join in.” he said.

Incredible Edible was originally funded out of the participants’ (参与者) own pockets. “We were very clear that we didn’t want to look at what grants (拨款) were available and change our projects to suit them,” said Mr. Green. “We felt that what would work was to start with the town and what it needed. We’d look for money later on.” What the project leaders found was that a lot could be achieved with small amounts of cash. And awards and grants have followed.

“The important thing about Incredible Edible is that it involves (影响) everyone in the town and it’s a grass-roots project. I honestly believe it’s a good plan for every neighborhood. What we’re doing here could easily be rolled out anywhere. It’s all about involving people, giving them ownership, letting them realize it can be fun and interesting and that the food is delicious, and giving them space to set up their own ideas and run with them.”

1．Which of the following can best describe Todmorden?

A．It has an artistic atmosphere.	B．It is leading a green lifestyle.
C．It produces everything it needs.	D．It is famous for its beautiful scenery.

2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Doing the planting.	B．Choosing the land.
C．Nick Green’s company.	D．The workspace for artists.

3．How did Incredible Edible get financial support in the beginning?

A．By raising money from the locals.	B．By winning an award from a competition.
C．By collecting money from the participants.	D．By applying for a grant from the government.

4．Why is Incredible Edible so important?

A．It helps the residents get rich.	B．It provides enough food for the locals.
C．It has been achieved by ordinary people.	D．It has a strong effect on reducing pollution.
