PART 3. Questions 16-20. Read the text and questions below. For each question,

Who let the dogs out?
I’ve always known that dogs are intelligent animals, but even I was surprised when I heard
about a dog called Red, at the Battersea Dogs’ Home in London.
The Home has been caring for lost and unwanted animals for over 140 years. Recently,
the staff there got a shock when they came to work in the morning. They found that some
of the dogs had got out of their kennels during the night, opened cupboards and taken
out food and toys. And it happened again, and again. The manager, Becky Blackmore,
described how as many as nine dogs were escaping every night. ‘We came in to chaos,’
she said. ‘Dogs were running around having fun and games and causing a lot of mess. We
couldn’t understand it”.
Someone or something was unlocking the kennels during the night. Becky decided that
the only way to solve the mystery was to put in cameras to record how the dogs were
getting out.
When she and her staff played back the recording, they saw Red, a three-year old lurcher,
put his nose through the bars of his kennel and use his teeth to press the button that
opened his door. That was clever enough, but Red did more: he unlocked the kennels
next to his and let those dogs out too. The group went along the corridor, broke into
cupboards and stole dog biscuits and toys to play with.
Becky Blackmore said, ‘It’s surprising, because lurchers aren’t famous for their
intelligence. It’s amazing that he worked out how to open his own kennel, but also that
he then let all his friends out.’ Like most of us, I suppose, Red didn’t like to party alone!
The story has a happy ending: after Red was shown on television, several people came
forward and offered to give him a new home as a family pet. ‘We are very pleased about
this,’ said a member of staff at the Dogs’ Home.
‘Lurchers are usually difficult to find homes for. When Red arrived here four months ago,
he was very thin and in poor condition. Now he can look forward to a comfortable new
life with an owner who wants him.’
16. What is the writer’s main purpose in the text?
A. to describe the work done by the Battersea Dogs’ Home.
B. to give an example of how clever dogs can be.
C. to complain about dogs escaping from the Dogs’ Home.
D. to ask people to look after unwanted dogs.
17. What can readers find out from this text?
A. that Red didn’t like being at the Dogs’ Home.
B. that Red and the other dogs escaped because they were hungry.
C. that when Red and his friends escaped they had a good time.
D. that Red and his friends enjoyed being recorded by the camera.
18. What did Red do after he got out of his kennel at night?
A. He took biscuits and toys back to the other dogs.
B. He showed the other dogs how to unlock their doors.
C. He slept in a cupboard.
D. He released the other dogs.
19. How did Becky Blackmore feel about what Red did?
A. She was surprised because she didn’t think lurchers were clever enough to do
that.
B. She was angry because he ate the staff’s biscuits.
C. She was pleased because he became a TV star.
D. She was worried because of the security problems it caused.
