B(原创)
When I first started looking for a pet cat, I wanted an adult cat named Miaomiao. She was a popular cat because she looked beautiful and lovely. But I didn't bring her home in the end—a family took her before I could. So the pet adoption(收养) centre suggested that I take a different cat. It was a kitten named Xiaohei.
But there is something special about Xiaohei whose new name is Egon. He can't see. This means he sometimes needs more care. By the time the centre introduced him to me, he was about 4 or 5 months old. No one else wanted him.
I wasn't sure at first. He was so small—it would take him a long time to grow up. I wasn't sure if I could look after a cat that can't see.
But as soon as I met him, I knew he was the cat for me. He's very clever and funny. He loves to play and run around. Even though he can't see, he is very interested in the world around him.
He has become good at getting around my home. He knows where every table or chair is and he has no problem finding his way around. Best of all, he sleeps right next to me every night. Every morning, I wake up and give him a big hug.

B. On the writer's chair.
C. Under the writer's bed.

9. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Miaomiao is very young.
B. Xiaohei is a popular cat in the pet adoption centre.
C. Egon can walk freely in the writer's house now.
D. The writer doesn't like Egon at all.
