It is men’s nature to live together in families and tribes(部落), and cities and nations, and therefore men have learned to prize those qualities in each other which make social life the happiest and best.

Of these qualities one of the most important is sympathy－fellow-feeling. If a man had no fellow-feeling, we should call him “inhuman”; he would be no true man. We think so much of this quality that we call a kind man “human”－that is, man-like in his conduct, first to other men, and afterwards to all living things.

If you are cruel to animals, you are not likely to be kind or thoughtfull to men; and if you are thoughtful towards men, you are not likely to be cruel and thoughtful towards animals. This is why the wise man of old wrote, “The merciful man is merciful to his beast.”

What a pleasure it is also to be loved by our pets or domestic animals; and to feel that we are caring for them and are deserving of their love; or to watch the ways of wild creatures, and gradually to make friends with them!

Treating animals kindly does not mean that we must never inflict any pain on them. We ourselves are trained by pains as well as by pleasures; so too, punishment is sometimes needed to train our dogs and horses to obey us. We endure pains at the hands of the surgeon, to cure some wound or to heal some disease; so too, animals must submit to being doctored.

We send out our bravest men to face wounds, sickness and death, for the good of the nation; so too, we let our horses share the risk of battle. For similar reasons, we cannot hesitate to destroy dangerous creatures like wolves and show senseless ferocity(残忍). It is no excuse to say that these animals deserve to be treated cruelly on account of their own cruelty. They are not really cruel, for they tear and kill not from love of unkindness, but because they must do so in order to live.

1.One of the most important qualities of men is fellow-feeling because ________.

A．you are likely to be cruel and thoughtful without it

B．a man would be inhuman without it

C．men can’t bear any pain on themselves and animals

D．only sympathy makes a man man-like in his conduct

2.The author would probably agree with the following EXCEPT that ________　.

A．we must never force any pain on animals

B．some people have to kill some animals in order to live

C．it is human for a doctor to cut off some part from the animals

D．wise men are not only good to men but also to animals

3.What do you think is the title of the passage?

A．Loving your pet. B．Fellow-feeling.

C．Making friends with animals.        D．Kindness to animals.

4.Which of the following is inhuman according to the writer?

A．To treat animals cruelly because they are cruel.

B．To train animals.

C．To destroy some of the dangerous animals.

D．To make animals submit to being doctored.

5.The underlined word “inflict” here means ________.

A．make sb/sth suffer                  B．forbid

C．punish       D．avoid

It is really hard to say which is better than the other，city life or rural life.__66__

Living in a city，people have certain advantages. First，people enjoy various entertainments，both foreign and domestic. Second，there are more cultural activities in a city. Third，city people gain access to better information service and educational facilities.__67__The overcrowded population，traffic jam，housing problem，industrial pollution and other issues may result in depression，nervousness and diseases.

Life in the village and on the farm is very different from life in the city. Living in the country，people can enjoy living in pure nature.__68__But rural life may not be that perfect. People usually lack cultural activities. They are relatively ill informed.__69__And people miss some golden opportunities of making a fortune. Opportunities for bright young people are greater in cities，so the chances of their children being admitted to colleges are slim.

Obviously，whatever life they lead，people can never feel perfectly satisfied，for conveniences and inconveniences always coexist. People wish that they could enjoy the pleasures of both lives. With the rapid economic development，nowadays city people can relax themselves in the country during vacation.__70__

E．However，problems exist.

F．And country people have chances to experience city lifestyle when they come to cities.

G．City life is obviously much more comfortable.
