Unit 2 Animals and petsPart AExercise 1Passage 1Dear Sir,Im writing to say how shocked I am by the amount of money that people in Britain spend on their pets.A recent article in your newspaper informed us that last year Britons spent 660 million pounds on dog food and 516 million pounds on food for their cats.Are we completely mad? Every day on TV we see pictures of people who have no food at all. A few pounds would buy them food for a week. Even in Britain there are many people without work and homes. A little money could make a big difference to them couldnt it? But it seems that in Britain animals come first. Perhaps it is time to think again. Yours faithfully, Ms D.WalkerPassage 2One of the main complaints of the city residents in the United States is the number of homeless cats and dogs. It has been estimated that more than 31 million cats and dogs are wandering through the streets of the cities. Each year about a fifth of these animals are destroyed. A survey of 41 cities reports that as much as 15 million dollars is spent to capture and kill those animals every year. One city alone, Chicago, spends one million dollars a year to control its animal population. On the other hand, though you can find quite a lot of cats and dogs wandering in New York, the city government cant find any money for animal population control.Keys: a, bExercise 21. Mrs. Bush had been giving her students a very long and not very interesting lecture to animals. When she finished, she decided to ask a few questions. She started off with this question. “Now, Tommy, tell me where elephants are found.”Tommy hadnt done much listening, but he pretended to be clever, saying, “Elephants are such big animals that they hardly ever get lost.”2. An angry customer went back to the pet shop and said to the owner, “The cat you sold me is absolutely useless!” The owner looked at the cat and said, “Whats wrong with it? It looks perfectly all right to me.” The customer became furious and said, “When you sold it to me you promised it would be a good cat for mice. Yet every time it sees a mouse it runs away and hides.” The owner smiled and said, “Well, isnt that a good cat for mice?”Part BConversationChoosing a PetAttendant:Hello. Can I help you?Customer:Yes. Im looking for a pet for my son. Can you suggest anything?Attendant:What kind of pet does he want? A traditional peta cat or a dog? Or something unusual?Customer:Well, Hed like a snake or an alligator, but he isnt going to get one.Attendant:We have a nice dog right now a Rottweiler!Customer:A Rottweiler!Oh, no!Ive heard about them on the news.Theyre very big and mean.Attendant:Oh, no, maam .They werent as mean as some dogs.Customer:Really?Attendant:Yes, really. Last week we had a small dog here. It was only as big as your purse, but it was as mean as the devil. It bit me three times!Customer:Lets forget dogs, then.Attendant:What about a cat?Customer:A cat. Hmm They arent as friendly as dogs, are they?Attendant:No, but they dont eat as much as dogs either. And theyre very clean.Customer:HmmAttendant:What about a bird then? A parrot or a parakeet. We have both.Customer:Which do you recommend?Attendant:Well, parakeets arent as easy to train, and they never speak as well as parrots.Customer:Yes, but parakeets dont need as much space as parrots, do they?Attendant:Thats true. Parakeets are very popular because they are so easy to keep.Customer:Yes, but theyre a little noisy, arent they? I want a quiet pet.Attendant:A quiet pet? Well, what about a goldfish?

They were very much in need of being breast-fed and the zoo called for Balu.The first time the 7-year-old bitch acted as a tigers mother was five years ago when a Siberian tiger became too sick and weak to feed her four babies and the park had to place an advertisement for a replacement.Since then the animal owned by a farmer from Nanhui has been asked to play mother for 12 tiger cubs on four occasions.Officials from the park came calling for her services two months ago shortly after she had given birth to her own two puppies.Park spokesman Su Feilong recalled: “She was very strong at first sight. Though the tiger cubs were much bigger than her, she regarded them as her own children and fed them wholeheartedly.”Balu has now takes to breast-feeding both her own and “adopted” babies, according to Shanghai Daily.Mr Su told the paper: “She is a loving mother, especially to those tigers. When those naughty cubs fought against her own puppies, she never got angry with them but tried to make them quiet with a gentle hug.”Keys: Exercise 1: 1-4 c b a cExercise 2:1.12-year-old bitch from a farmers family.2.two puppies just two months ago3.for 12 tiger cubs since 5 years ago.4.strong but she is smaller than the cubs.5.enough milk for her own babies and the baby tigers.6.her own children and takes good care of them.Unit 3 AgePart A1.
