阅读理解。 Lovely animals are always kept as pets，especially those which look pretty and there’ s always a lot of fun keeping them. Here’s a story about it. The children begged for a hamster (仓鼠), and after a long time and promises that they alone would care for it, they got one. Of course, they loved this special friend. They named it Danny, made “a house” for it, and played happily with it. Two months later, when Mom found herself doing the cleaning and feeding the hamster, she decided to send it away and found a future new home for it. The children took the news of Danny’s immediate departure quite well, though one of them said, “He’s been around here a long time. We’ll miss him.” “Yes,” Mom replied. “But he’s too much work for one person, and since I’m that person, I say he goes.” Another child offered, “Well, maybe if he wouldn’t eat so much and wouldn’t make things in bad order, we would keep him.” But Mom didn’t change her mind. “It’s time to take Danny to his new home now,” she insisted. “Go and get his cage(笼子).” With one voice and in tearful anger the children shouted, “Danny?
