with me!

W: Dad, the dog is cute. Can we take it home?
M: I’m afraid not, Jenny.
W: But why? We have a big house, and we can feed it dog food.
M: But we don’t have time to walk it. How about buying some goldfish?W: I don’t like them. They are quiet and I can’t play with them.
M: They are beautiful, aren’t they?
听第四段对话，回答第9小题。
M: Hi, Nancy. The cat is so cute. I didn’t know you have a pet cat.

take care of it before she returns.
M: Oh, I see. Do you keep a pet yourself?
W: Yes, my father bought me a pet dog a month ago.

M: Look! The cat is beautiful. Shall we get it home?
W: Er…No, I’d rather get a dog. Dogs are more loyal than cats.
M: Yes, but they need so much care! Are you willing to walk it and clean up their mess every day?
W: Hmm. Good point. What about a bird? Or a fish?
M: Well. We have to spend a lot of money on a cage or a fish tank. And I don’t really know how to take care of a
bird or change water for a fish!
W: So, we’re probably not ready to get a pet.
M: Yeah, you’re right.

W: Hi, John. What a cute dog you have!
M: You’re right, Lily. I’ve had him for two years. And he brings me a lot of happiness.
W: You are lucky to have a pet. But my parents don’t allow me to keep a pet since I lost my cat three years ago.
M: Oh, why is that?
W: They say I need to spend more time on my studies.
M: I see. Then why don’t you keep some goldfish? They are beautiful and you don’t need to spend much time on
them.
W: Good idea. I’ll talk to my parents about it.
听第七段对话，回答第14-15小题。
W: Ah … Excuse me, Sir. I’d like to buy a pet, please.
M: Well, as you can see, we have many animals to choose from here.
W: I want to buy a pet for my daughter. It’s her seventh birthday today.
M: What about this lovely white puppy dog? Little girls love puppies.
W: Well, our home is quite small. It’s not big enough for a dog.M: Why not buy a bird? It’s easy to take care of the birds.
W: She likes birds. But birds usually make a lot of noise.

If you watch the animals around you closely，you will find many animals can make certain facial
expressions. Many animals have the ability to make their faces smile. Chimpanzees, for example, can often be
seen smiling. Dogs also often seem to be smiling when their mouths are open. And lots of other animals can make
happy-looking faces, too. Animals smile because they are happy! Lots of research shows that animals often show
their feelings. Sometimes they have the same ways as humans, like smiles, and sometimes they have their own
special ways, like a dog waving its tail or a cat keeping meowing.

The Benefits of Keeping a Pet
My name is Emma. I’m a pet lover. I believe there are many health benefits of keeping a pet. For
example, it has been proven that pets have a positive effect on our mood. My grandmother is a real
example. She used to be really sad when my grandfather suddenly passed away three years ago. In
order to help her get through sadness, I bought her a pet dog. Taking care of the dog gives her a new
purpose in her life. Besides, the dog helps her forget her depression and loneliness. With the faithful
company of the dog, my grandmother becomes much happier. She’s now 85 years old and she’s very
healthy. I think it’s the best decision I have ever made to buy her a pet dog.

I am Lisa. I have a big parrot and he can speak. One day, I invited Mrs. White to have dinner in my home.
When she entered my house, the parrot said Mrs. White was really fat. Mrs. White got very angry. She went to me
and told me what happened. I said sorry to her. Then I got the parrot out of the cage and took it into a small room.
I warned him not to say anything to make my guest angry again. Weeks later, Mrs. White visited me again. Theparrot said the same thing to her. It made both Mrs. White and me mad.
