1. Four years ago. 根據第二段第一句“Four years ago, Darren Chick lost his parrot—Nigel.”可知，四年前，Nigel離開了它的主人Darren。

　　2. English.根據第三段第一句“When he flew away, the grey parrot spoke with a British accent.”可知.Nigel離開時是帶有英國口音的，再結合第二段中的his British owner's home 可知，它離開主人時說的是英語。

　　3. Because she thought the parrot was the vet's missing pet.根據第四段中的“The woman first thought he was a missing pet...the vet who posted the advertisement”可知，Julia一開始認為Nigel 是獸醫張貼的那則廣告中走失的寵物，因此她去了獸醫那里。

　　4. Because Darren thought Julia meant he lost a bird recently. 根據倒數第二段中的“I introduced myself...He thought I meant recently.”可知，Darren一開始說自己沒有丟失寵物鳥，是因為他以為Julia問的是他最近有沒有丟失寵物鳥。

　　5. He felt happy. 根據最后一段中的“the owner couldn't hide his happiness when he reunited with Nigel”可知，當和自己的鸚鵡Nigel重聚時，Darren難掩喜悅之情。由此可推知，Darren感到很開心。

　　長難句分析

　　原句：（第四段倒數第二句）The woman first thought he was a missing pet in an advertisement she had seen.

　　譯文：這位女士最初以為它是自己在一則廣告中看到的走失的寵物。

　　分析：這是一個復合句。he was a missing pet in an advertisement she had seen 是省略了引導詞that 的賓語從句，作thought的賓語：在該賓語從句中.she had seen是省略了引導詞 that或which的定語從句.修飾先行詞 an advertisement。
