I have seen how having an animal in your life...

I have seen how having an animal in your life can make things much better for all concerned. Here are some reasons.

A pet’s love never stops.

1.. Even if you cannot return that unconditional love, just knowing that it is there will make your life better.

Caring for something other than yourself is emotionally healthy.

Giving and getting a little love, even if you have to say “sit down” 270 times a day, can take your mind off your troubles and help you to see what really matters.

2..

If you have a dog, you need to take it (and yourself) on walks. Dogs are happiest when they are walking. And it’s common knowledge that taking regular walks is also good for your heart and brain health.

Just the act of petting a creature lowers your blood pressure and helps you relax.

The next time you are feeling uncomfortable, I suggest going to your local shelter and giving some love to an animal there. 3., but notice how you feel when the two of you are exchanging emotional energy. And don’t be surprised if you do adopt!

Saving a life will make yours better.

4., but what about the used ones? All my animals have been rescued, and they are as sweet as can be.

Maybe you think you don’t have enough room in your heart.

You may already have a family to love, and that is totally wonderful. 5. I know not everybody is an animal lover, but if you think you might be, don’t lose this chance.

A. You won’t have to take it home

B. Some people want lovely pets

C. Having a pet is also physically healthy

D. If you want more love in your life, consider a pet

E. Taking your dog for a walk can make your dog happy

F. Some people prefer their new puppy to be from a pet store

G. No matter what, your pet will always love you and remember you

Not many things in life can be more irritating (令人气愤的): you are having a conversation with friends, but they check their phones and begin replying to texts or checking their emails. The Guardian (卫报) described the scene of a friend’s face buried in a screen as “a distinct 21st-century problem”. A new word has been created to describe this --- phubbing. It is the act of looking at your mobile phone instead of paying attention to others during a social interaction. Like pointing at one’s nose, phubbing is widely considered rude behavior. People everywhere are beginning to lose patience with the phenomenon.

A “Stop Phubbing” campaign group has been started in Australia and at least five others have appeared as anger about the lack of manners grows. The campaign’s creator, Alex Haigh, 23, from Melbourne, said, “A group of friends and I were chatting when someone said how annoying being ignored by people on mobiles was.” He has created a website where companies can download posters to discourage phubbing.

Phubbing is just one symptom of our increasing dependence on mobile phones and the Internet, which is replacing normal social interaction. A survey found that one out of three Britons would answer the phone in a restaurant and 19% said they would while being served in a shop. The survey came after a supermarket assistant in south London refused to serve a woman until she stopped using her phone. A survey, for a Sunday paper, also found that 54 per cent of people checked Facebook, Twitter or other social media every day, with 16 per cent checking more than ten times a day. An unsurprising 63 per cent of people carry their phone with them “almost all, or all of the time”, it found.

Phil Reed, a professor of psychology at Swansea University who has studied the Internet addiction disorder, said many phubbers show symptoms of addiction to their mobile phones.

Time magazine once pointed out, “Phubbing has a much greater potential harm to real-life connections by making people around us feel like we care more about posts than their presence.”

In the UK, Glamour magazine even imagined how novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817) would have written about people with bad mobile phone manners: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man or woman in possession of a good mobile phone must be in want of manners.”

1.Phubbing has occurred because _______.

A. distrust has already been everywhere among people

B. the friendship between people is becoming weak

C. people are getting dependent on attraction online

D. there has been a lack of means of communication

2.Which of the statements is TRUE about the “Stop Phubbing” campaign?

A. It was first started in America and then it spread to Melbourne.

B. Companies can update posters against phubbing on the website.

C. Alex Haigh, 23, was the first one to find phubbing annoying.

D. Up till now, at least six groups have claimed to support it.

3.The supermarket assistant refused to serve the woman mainly because _______.

A. the woman buried her face in the mobile phone screen for a very long time

B. the woman ignored respect and manners by focusing only on her phone

C. the assistant lost his patience with the woman who was using her phone

D. it is rare for customers to answer the phone while being served in shops

4.In the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell readers that ______.

A. one with a mobile phone should mind his/her manners

B. Jane Austen must have worked for Glamour magazine

C. phubbing is going to be forbidden immediately in the UK

D. people with good manners must have good mobile phones

Have you ever thought that music can have an effect on animals? Dr. Fisher has put music in over 1,100 animal shelters, saying that it makes dogs and cats quiet and even cuts down on barking. Fisher asked artists around the world to share dog-and-cat friendly music. She gives it free to animal shelters.

One fan was Tina. Winter temperatures at the rural shelter for six dogs and six cats usually ran below zero and the wind blew nearly every day. To calm the animals, Tina tried the radio. Besides poor reception, the news and sports had people shouting and crying loudly. “The difference is great. ” she said. So she and her husband had to buy a second player for the cats. “When we play songs they like, they go and sit by the speakers. ” Tina said.

No one has studied the impact of Fisher’s music idea. But others have looked at how music and noise in general affected animals. A study found that animals were more likely to sleep and less likely to bark when Mozart, Beethoven and other similar music were playing, but not when heavy metal and other sounds were.

A survey of more than 500 shelters guided by Fisher validated her idea, finding barking reduced by half and animals more relaxed. It just destresses them.

Beyond the music, the shelter staff do what they can to reduce stress for the dogs, including toys, food and spending time with them. “Reducing their stress helps them show off their personalities and they can get adapted more quickly,” said Fisher. “The music also helps relax staff members and that benefits the animals too.”

1.When dogs listen to dog friendly music. They will _______.

A.calm down B.get excited

C.become clever D.never bark

2.The underlined word “validated” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_______.”

A.doubted B.refused.

C.proved D.changed

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Reducing stress is of great benefit to the dog.

B.The dogs in the shelter are fond of toys.

C.It is hard for the dogs to be adapted.

D.The staff members also like classical music.
