A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its
pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the
doggy parlors(客厅)where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique m treating their little friends in this
way?__36
__ 37 They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million
pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary(兽医的) bills or animal furniture. It is
difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of
starvation and poverty.
There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems.
An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs
leave on the streets. 38 But in a number of large cities It is a major problem.
Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat and
they continually push their parents until they get one. But the parents don't realize how much time and
money must be spent on the little friend after it’s brought home. Then they abandon it. 39 You
must have read of children being hurt by pets on the street.
Lastly,1 would suggest something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped
being sentimental(伤感的)about pets. 40 This will lead us to discovering cures for serious
human diseases.
A. Many people find this funny.
B. There's no definite answer to that question.
C.I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments.
D. Pet foods often contain more vitamins than human food.
E_ As a result. they are allowed to run free.
F This can be seen when we look at pet foods.
G No. the English too, pay more attention to their pets.
