In America, when people speak of “man’s best friend”, they mean a lovely animal—a dog! This shows the friendship between humans and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people. Some people regard their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help humans, too. Dogs can be taught to become the “eyes” for blind people or “ears” for deaf people. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier. Because of that, animals are taken to hospitals for “visits”.
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May.
The pet show is held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you can also do this. How? If you have a pet, spend more time this week playing with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from danger.
If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don’t kick (踢) it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As humans, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.

七、读写综合 (本题共20分)
(A) 信息归纳(5分)
请认真阅读文章,然后完成信息表格选择
I worry about my boys (aged 8 and 10). They wasted a lot of time in front of the computer playing video games. How can I limit (限制) the time my children spend playing video games?
Mrs Smith
It might be best if you let the kids play computer games before they do their homework. Recent research shows that it’s not a good idea for kids to play games before they go to bed, and that playing games after a learning activity such as homework can influence the brain’s ability to keep the information that it has learned.
Alproosh
My kids are only allowed to play video games on Sunday afternoons. I give them the chance to play, and they play games after finishing their jobs.
Calge
I find it difficult to set time limits, but I use a timer program to help me set time limits (like 1 hour each day). The program tells the kids the time limits like “5 minutes left”, and the program will be turned off by itself when the time is up. You can download it from www. TimesUpKidz.com. Carla
