To comfort me, Mom got me a cat and I decided to train this cat. First, I named him Wilbur. Next, I decided to train him not to make our apartment dirty. In order to train him to use the litter box my mother bought as his toilet, I followed him everywhere, watching for some sign that he wanted to go outside, just like Id done with Toby. I waited and watched. But all that cat did was sleep. Pretty soon I fell asleep, too. When I woke up, I heard some noise from the box. I looked inside and found Wilbur in it on his own. If a cat could do that by himself easily, I figured that teaching him a few tricks would be a cinch. I set Wilbur down in front of me and said, “Sit”， pushing his back down gently, just like Id done with Toby. However, he jumped away. This cat didnt know anything about taking orders. Then I decided to give him a bath. Id washed Toby every Saturday. Strangely, at the sound of the running water, Wilbur began to lick (舔) himself. Mom saw what I was doing. “Oh, honey, cats dont need baths.” She looked at Wilbur. “See？” she said. “They clean themselves.” When Wilbur finished bathing, he made a strange noise, like a motor running, so I sat down to get a better listen. To my surprise, Wilbur moved to me, and jumped onto my legs. Toby never did that! Seeing that, Mom said, “You know, cats only do that when they really like you.” I looked up at her, then down at the cat and said, “Let me introduce Wilbur, Mom. He is my friend now.” 语篇解读　本文是记叙文。作者新养了一只猫并开始训练它，最终作者和猫成为了好朋友。 1．What did the author do for the cat? A. He gave the cat a name. B. He bought the cat a box. C. He freed the cat from the toilet. D.
