Question

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 between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few 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 or “ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought 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 can do this, too. 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, don’t kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了人類和動物應該友好相處。在美國，“人類最好的朋友”指的是狗，狗能幫人做很多事情，給人帶來快樂，人和狗的關系非常親密，美國人還舉辦“動物友好周”。我們也應該愛護動物。

1.Some people think of their pets as their children.可知，甚至有人死后把錢留給寵物，是為了證明一些寵物像主人的孩子一樣親。 故選D。

2.They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visits”.可知，狗被帶到醫(yī)院，是因為它們能給病人帶來快樂。故選B。

3.Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week.可知“動物友好周”期間，人們會舉行寵物演出，故選A。

4.Animals can help people可知A正確；They make people happier可知B正確；根據(jù)最后兩段介紹“動物友好周”和呼吁人們保護動物，可知動物也需要人類的愛，故D也正確。而C說狗能幫人做一切，這太絕對，所以不正確，故選C。
