What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't 6 a compliment（恭维） in the same way as the American people do. She should answer "Thank you" instead of "No".

（3）句意：“我”尽力用外力取出苹果但失败了，所以才跑去叫兽医。根据语句I tried to force the apple out 及 so I ran to call our vet 可知，“我”尽力用外力取出苹果但失败了，所以才跑去叫兽医。stop 意为“停止”，move 意为“移动”，relax 意为“放松”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为A。
（4）句意：当Carrico 医生赶到后，他摸了摸她的脖子周围研究情况。change 意为“改变”，protect 意为“保护”，ignore 意为“忽略”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。
（5）句意：虽然事情不容易，幸运的是（luckily），你知道何时寻求帮助。根据文中 it's not easy 可知事情不容易，本句中 you know when to call for help 是语义上的转折，虽然事情不容易，幸运的是，你知道何时寻求帮助。sadly 意为“伤心地”，proudly 意为“自豪地”，naturally 意为“自然地”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为A。
（6）句意：我本想不告诉我爸爸发生了什么事，但很快就放弃了那个愚蠢的想法，因为他不是你阻止的人。结合下文中After I told him 可知，作者放弃了不告诉父亲的愚蠢想法。forget 意为“忘记”，accept 意为“接受”，share 意为“分享”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为C。
（7）句意：我猜他对我很失望。结合文章最后一段倒数第二句 He said as though he trusted I could do that. 可知，作者的父亲相信他并让他给小牛起名字的做法令作者感到惊讶，因为之前他一直觉得父亲对他很失望（disappointed）。interested 意为“感兴趣的”，surprised 意为“感到惊讶的”，pleased 意为“愉快的”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为D。
（8）句意：我疑惑地看着他。结合上文中That surprised me 可知，父亲的行为使“我”惊讶，因此“我”疑惑地（in wonder）看着他。respect 意为“尊敬”，secret 意为“秘密”，regret 意为“遗憾”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为D。
