Although it was only autumn，everything outside was covered in white．Unexpectedly, we were hit with a big 1 storm and no one was prepared．
We have two apple trees in our backyard．Prana，our dog，loves 2．When she goes outside，she usually grabs a dirty apple from the ground to eat later on．Prana knows that when she brings her treasure into the house，I am not always 3，so she tries to hide it from me．It is our little game．
On the day that it snowed too 4 in the season，Prana went outside and I 5 her from the window．I noticed that she was 6 lots of holes and bringing out the apples buried beneath the snow．She seemed to be 7 to dig up as many apples as she could．
But when she came back inside，she brought back only one．About five minutes later,I looked outside．The yard was pletely 8 with birds．Prana had dug up all those apples for her bird friends to eat．She knew that they hadn’t prepared 9 food for the early winter.
This beautiful act of unconditional love from a(an) 10 taught me what real kindness was．

(答案→)B
解析：短文属于记叙文。作者讲述小狗在雪天用自己贮存的苹果招待没有食物的小鸟，表现了小狗对朋友的无私的“爱”。
【小题1】根据前一句“was covered in white”，可知遭受了暴风雪。
【小题2】根据上句中的“apple trees”和下句的“dirty apple”可知小狗喜欢苹果。
【小题3】根据后面的“so she tries to hide it from me”可猜测“我”不高兴她把脏苹果带到房子里，因此小狗才会“藏苹果”。
【小题4】第一段已经指出是暴风雪，而且是秋天，因此可排除A、B、C三项；对于这个季节来说，雪下得早，因此最佳选项是D。
【小题5】小狗在房子外面，我在房子里面“观看”她。
【小题6】因为苹果在雪里面埋着，所以需要“挖”出来。
【小题7】根据小狗的一举一动，可知她在努力挖出更多的苹果。此处使用be determined to do sth“决心做某事”比较合适。
【小题8】be covered with“被……覆盖”。
【小题9】prepare for…“准备……”
【小题10】这个“爱”是来自小狗的，因此用animal。
