In America, when people say “man's best friend”, they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship(友谊) between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!

Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person (盲人) or “ears” for a deaf(耳聋) person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for “visits”.

Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.

If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up. As people, we must protect(保护) animals who can't speak for themselves.

1.“Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!” is used to prove _________ .

A.pets have the right(权利) to inherit(继承) money

B.money can make pets happy

When I was small, my family was not rich. But my mum gave the family a funny special treat from time to time—she would make breakfast food for dinner.

I remember she did so one evening. She went back home after working hard for a whole day, but wanted to do something special for us all. But she made a mistake. She overburnt(烤过度) the toast(烤面包片). I saw her put a plate of eggs and the very burnt toast in front of my dad. I waited to see if anyone noticed. But my dad just took his toast and smiled at my mum. I remember watching him add butter to that toast. He ate it up as usual and said it tasted nice.

After dinner, I remember hearing my mum say sorry to my dad for burning the toast. I’ll never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt toast. It tastes nice.” Later that night, I went to kiss daddy good night. I asked him if he really liked his toast burnt. He wrapped(紧抱) me in his arms and said, “Your mommy worked very hard today. She’s really tired. And a bit of burnt toast never hurts anyone!”

I learnt a lot that day. Life is filled with imperfect(不完美的) things. Nobody is perfect, either. I’m not the best at anything. I couldn’t remember birthdays and other important things. But I’ve learned something important from my father. Nothing is as important as understanding(理解) in life. Remember, burnt toast never hurts anyone. Life is beautiful because there are always people with kind thoughts who make life beautiful.
