But if pets arent suitable to a familys lifestyle or environment, they can quickly lead to problems such as stress or arguments (争执). To save yourself and your family such problems, treat this decision seriously. When choosing a pet, people must consider the familys health. Many people are allergic (过敏的) to cats and dogs. Perhaps a dog or cat with short hair will be fine. And a dog might not be the best choice for a child who is naughty (顽皮的) because the dog might bite him or her. Some people can also have problems with certain pets. Its a good idea to spend a little time with the pet around each member of the family before making your decision. Consider the quality of life of the pet, too. If a pet is used to having space to run around, it can quickly develop psychological (心理的) problems when it is kept in a small flat all day. If pets are allowed to run about in areas with lots of traffic, they can meet an early end. Cats shouldnt be brought into homes that already have large dogs because they wont be able to get along well with each other.The decision as to what kind of pet to choose is very important. If you find the right one to suit (适合) everyone in the family and their lifestyle, then its time to choose one. Remember that your decision is important because it can have effects that last for many years.Considerations When Choosing a PetParagraph Outline (要点)Supporting DetailsImportance ofchoosing a petA _with a pet seems to be complete.Pets can bring some problems if they arent suitable to the family.The familys healthmust be consideredMany people are allergic to pets with _hair.Its not _to choose a dog for a naughty child.Some people have problems with some pets.The pets quality of lifeYou shouldnt _a pet in a small flat if it is used to running around.Make sure the areas where pets can run about do not have a lot of traffic.If your house already has a dog, dont get a cat.Choose the right_of petFind the right one for your family because your choice can have lasting effects.二、 完形填空。 (共1题；共10分)5. （10分） Zhang Jin was so lucky to have a free trip to Thailand.
