This figure has fallen dramatically in the last thirty years because of the increase in labour-saving devices (washing machines, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, etc.). 政府最近调查数字显示,一天内英国人们平均做家务3小时。这个数字在最近三十年因为可以节省劳动力的机械(洗衣机、微波炉，真空吸尘器等等）的增加已经有了显著的下降。 数字：figure, number： Figure数字（尤指09） He has an income of six figures.Number 号码，数字，数目 3, 13, 33 and 103 are numbers. 表频率：Three hours a day, every day, every other day 表原因：because后面跟句子, because of后面跟短语；Consequently, leisure time has increased. The number of TVs, stereos, videos, CD and DVD players, etc. has also risen sharply during the last decade because using these has become the most important leisure activity. 99% of people have spent time watching television the past four weeks and 78% of people have listened to records or CDs and tapes. However, listening to tapes and records decreases with age, and gardening for pleasure rises sharply. 63% of 55 64 year-olds have spent time gardening in the past four weeks compared to 21% of 20 24 year-olds. 因此，业余时间已经增多。在最近十年间由于电视机、立体声、视频、CD和DVD唱机等等成为了最重要的娱乐Activity工具，因而它们的数量有了急剧的增长。在过去的四个星期里百分之九十九的人花时间看电视，百分之七十八的人听唱片或CD和磁带。但是，随着年龄增加，听磁带和唱片的人数在减少，而从事园艺消遣的人数急剧增加。在过去的四个星期里百分之六十三的5564岁的老人花时间种植花草，相比之下2024岁的年轻人只有百分之二十一的人这么做。 HYPERLINK unit%2008/unit%2008.ppt unit 08unit 08.ppt Animals at home家庭宠物数字的表达以及复习定语从句。Just under half the households in the UK (45%) own a pet. Pets range from dogs, cats and rabbits to the more exotic animals, such as snakes, lizards and tropical fish. Dogs used to be the most popular pet, but changes in lifestyle and the family structure have now made cats more popular than dogs because they are more independent and need less care.只有不足半数（45%）的英国家庭拥有宠物。宠物无奇不有，既有狗、猫、兔子，也有异国动物如蛇、蜥蜴、热带鱼。狗曾经是最流行的宠物，但现在因生活方式和家庭结构的变化，使得养猫比养狗更流行，因为猫更独立，并且不需要更多的关心。A large proportion of people 【who own a dog】 own only one dog (78%). 大多数养狗的人（78%）只养一只狗。Although the majority of people who own a cat own only one cat, over a third (38%) own two or more cats.尽管大多数养猫的人只养一只猫，但有超过三分之一的人养两只或更多的猫。More than half the dogs in Britain are pedigree (52%) , but only a small proportion of cats are pedigree (8%).在英国超过一半（52%）的狗是纯种的，但纯种的猫只占很小比例（8%）。Activity 11Pat the dog宠物狗复习定语从句和练习现在完成进行时。Did you know there are some very special dogs 【doing good work in our hospital wards】?

There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity “Dogs for the Disabled”. “She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper form the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. Its like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection.那里还有许多其他的为人类工作的狗，它们是门卫狗，警犬，猎狗和为盲人服务的狗。残疾人受益匪浅，拿艾伦史密斯作例，他必须每个月去医院，有些事情对他来说非常困难，因为他坐在轮椅上。但自从他从动物疗法的慈善组织那里得到一只名叫苔丝的狗后，他的生活发生了明显的变化。“她帮我穿衣服，拿袜子和鞋。她去商店取报纸，当电话铃响时能递给我电话。我也感觉到好多了。这就如同得到一位真正的好朋友。她和我一起去医院。有一次救了我的命。我是一位糖尿病患者，有一天，我的血糖下降，当我即将昏迷时，她跑到隔壁，叫来了邻居。邻居给我进行了胰岛素注射”。Activity 12My next door neighbour, May, goes to the hospital every week with her dog to work on the PAT dog scheme (组织). Shes a volunteer she is only paid for travel expenses (旅费). When patients (患者) are separated from their pets, they miss them very much. Some of the patients have mental illnesses and they get on better with animals than they do with people. One patient likes to throw a small ball and the dog fetches it. One day a patient dropped his newspaper and the dog ran to pick it up for him. May says she really enjoys going to the hospital and her opinions about voluntary work have altered dramatically. In fact, she recognizes that she is benefiting from the visits as much as the patients and her dog. 我的隔壁邻居，梅，每个星期和她的狗去从事慈善组织动物疗法的狗组织医疗工作。她是一位志愿者，她仅支付旅费。当患者与他们的宠物分开后，他们非常想念宠物。一些患者有精神疾病，他们与动物相处比与人相处的还好。一位病人喜欢扔小球，狗能够跑去捡回来。一天一位病人的报纸掉了，狗跑过去捡给他。梅说她真的喜欢去医院，她对志愿者工作的看法已经有了鲜明的改变。实际上，她认识到就像她从出访中受益一样，她从病人和狗身上同样可以受益。Activity 14Part AIm Police Sergeant Simon Woodrow and I work for Thames Valley Police.
