### 四、完形填空
两岁的猫咪汉克第一次走出自家院子时，就被困在了一棵40英尺高的树上，整整五天，没有食物也没有水。
去年11月的一天，它的主人德洛丽丝从市场回来后，发现汉克没有回来吃午饭。天色渐暗，她开始在房子周围寻找它。然后她听到了猫的叫声，抬头一看，发现汉克在邻居家的树上。它一定是在被几只狗追赶的时候爬上了树，然后吓得不敢爬下来了。
德洛丽丝现在非常担心，立刻打电话叫了消防员。但这并不容易，因为他们没有足够高的梯子够到那只猫。她向一家树木公司求助。但由于安全原因，他们也失败了。
这位可怜的主人无能为力，只能坐在树下呼唤汉克。一位好心的邻居给了她一些猫粮，期望这能让这只饥饿的猫下来。附近的狗主人都带着他们的宠物出去散步，而不是把它们放在院子里，这样汉克就不会因为害怕而爬得更高了。
直到第五天，事情才有了转机。当另一位邻居莉达谈到一个把猫从树上弄下来的聪明办法时，德洛丽丝决定立刻试试。她们一起制作了一个滑轮系统，把一个装有汉克最喜欢的东西的篮子吊到它面前。令她们兴奋的是，汉克跳进了篮子里。
德洛丽丝真的很感激。“住在这么友好的社区里我感觉很好。当汉克遇到麻烦时，它给了我希望，”她说。
