The 11-year-old，who starts sixth grade this fall，has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog，she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.” Katharines passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when theres a group that can find new homes for them，” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.” Notes： stray adj.流浪的　②shortbread n．黄油甜酥饼 【语篇解读】 本文主要讲了11岁女孩Katharine是如何关爱和帮助流浪狗等小动物的。 1．Katharines love of dogs comes from ________.
