　　Dear Dad and Mom,

　　We have some exciting news for you. Maria is going to have a baby! We didn't tell you right away. At first the doctor said she might have some trouble with the baby. Now he says she is just fine. She's very healthy ahd happy. She still works on har paintings every day. But she stopped teaching art classes. She gets tired more quickly now.

　　There is going to be another big change in our lives. We're moving back to New York! We want to be closer to you and to Jane. It's much nicer to be near the family for something important like a baby. Maria grew up in Mexico, and she doesn'tt have a family here. So that makes you even more important to us.

　　Maria is a little worried about working in New York. She will have to start again there. In Italy her paintings are already popular. But I'm sure people will like them in New York, too. There won't be any problem with my job. I'm still working for The New York Times. I'll be writing about the United Nations in New York.

　　We're planning to move next month. See you then!

Yours,

Tom

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

A heavy rain hits Chongqing one day and makes the river rise. When the rain stops, people there see a dog called Huahua swim across the river to an island(岛屿) 3 times a day for 2 weeks.Why? Her four children are on the island. She swims every day to milk her babies.

Animals show love the same way people do, and Huahua is not the only example. British scientiest Jane Goodall spends 14 years living with chimpanzees(大猩猩) in Africa. She finds that chimpanzees care for each other when others get hurt(伤害) or lose their parents. “It is not only humans(人类) who are clever and responsible( 有责任心 ) , animals also are,” she says.

Two birds in Chengdu show parental love when their child is hurt and falls on the street in the center of the city. Cars keep driving past but the brave parents run fast down to the road and get the little bird away.

Animals not only love their own children but also care for other animal babies. A British newspaper says a chimpanzee namned Anjanan in an animal center takes care of a baby lion. She milks the lion carefully every day. “They are just like mother and son,” a worker of the center says.

1.How many children has the dog Huahua got?

2.Do chimpanzees care for each other like humans?

3.What do “the brave parents” do?

4.How does Anjana take care of the baby lion?

5.What can we learn from the passage?
