Ⅰ.阅读理解 It might not surprise the average Floridian to find a baby turtle on a sidewalk，but to my teenage eyes it appeared to be something unusual. One morning，when my mother and I were jogging outside our neighborhood，from a distance I spotted an object about the size of a quarter moving on the sidewalk.When my mother and I were close enough，we realized the quarter was a baby turtle.It looked as though it was on a journey.Yet I wondered if it really knew where it was going because it was heading straight for the road.I told my Mum that if we didn’t take this baby turtle home it would become roadkill.She finally agreed to save it and told me turtles represented good luck.We carried it home，named it Morton and cared for it the best way we could. We first placed Morton in mother’s bathroom sink(槽) and then an amphibian tank(两栖动物水箱)．Slowly Morton grew from a quarter，to a dollar，a chocolate cookie，then eventually a disk. I knew that people kept turtles like Morton as pets.However，one day it occurred to me that Morton wasn’t a domesticated turtle in a pet store.He was a wild turtle taken from nature and forced into the tank.I was trying to protect him like an overprotective parent by not setting him free.Suddenly，my heart broke into pieces.Slowly I picked up Morton and transported him to his original amphibian tank.It was time. I will never forget the day I set Morton free.I walked to the neighborhood lake and carefully placed him on the shore.Morton didn’t hesitate to swim into the lake and that was the last time I had seen him. 1．Why did the author take Morton home A．To keep it as a pet.
