答案： 【解析】：
61. 题目问 "The dogs are free." 的意思。选项中，“free”常见意思有“自由的”“免费的”。根据下文爸爸说“But the dog's food isn't free”（但是狗粮不是免费的），可推测此处“free”指“免费的”，即狗不要钱。A选项“狗能到处跑”、B选项“狗不住在笼子里”、D选项“狗不忙”均不符合语境，所以选C。
62. 问题是为什么Sally不能养狗。文中提到妈妈说“And taking care of a dog is a lot of work”（照顾狗是很多工作），父母因此拒绝了她。A选项“父母不喜欢狗”文中未提及；B选项“李太太没时间照顾她的狗”是后面的内容，不是Sally不能养狗的原因；C选项“狗粮免费”与原文爸爸说的“狗粮不免费”相悖，所以选D。
63. 题目问Sally为帮助李太太做了什么。文中明确说“Sally walked and fed Scooter.”（Sally遛Scooter并喂它）。B选项“买狗粮”、C选项“帮李太太工作”、D选项“打扫房子”均未提及，所以选A。
64. 问题是李太太为Sally做了什么。文中提到“Can you help every day?" she asked. Sally walked and fed Scooter every day. At the end of the week, Mrs Lee paid Sally.”（她问“你能每天帮忙吗？”Sally每天遛和喂Scooter。周末结束时，李太太付给Sally钱。）A选项只说让每天遛狗，不完整；B选项说周末喂狗，与原文每天喂不符；C选项说每天付钱，原文是周末付，所以D选项正确。
65. 问题是Sally的父母为什么改变主意。文中妈妈和爸爸说“You showed us that you can take care of a dog”（你向我们展示了你能照顾狗）。A选项“狗粮免费”与原文不符；B选项“照顾狗不需要很多工作”与原文妈妈说的“照顾狗是很多工作”相悖；D选项“李太太能照顾Scooter”不是父母改变主意的原因，所以选C。
66. 题目问文章最佳标题。文章主要讲Sally想要狗，通过帮助照顾邻居的狗展示自己能照顾狗，最后父母同意她养狗的故事。A选项“一只免费的狗”不是重点；B选项“Sally和Scooter”只是故事中的一部分；D选项“如何照顾狗”不是文章主要内容，C选项“给Sally的狗”能概括全文，所以选C。
