1. (2023九上·诸暨月考)  阅读理解

I'm very thankful to the cat and it always makes me think of the time I was with him.

Five years ago, when my father was dying, I travelled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. 

After he passed away, I started alone in his flat. There were so many things to deal with. I was lonely and I hated the silence of the flat. 

But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost fell asleep at once. 

The next morning, I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved out, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked backed to the flat, I tried to worked out what to do with him. Having another thing to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed.  But as soon as I opened the flat door, he ran to me and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he didn't want to go anywhere. I started calling him Willis in order to remember my father's best friend.

 ▲  . With Willis on my lap, time seemed to pass much faster. When the time finally came for me to return home, I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was completely no way I would leave without him.
