Man’s best friend could be one of the environment’s worst enemies, according to a new study that says that your pet dog’s carbon pawprint(碳足跡) is more than double that of a sports car.
Yet this point of view, made by New Zealanders Robert and Brenda Vale, has angered pet owners who feel they are being picked out as troublemakers.
The Vales, researchers in sustainable(可持續的) living, looked at popular brands of pet food and calculated that a medium-sized dog eats about 164 kilos of meat and 95 kilos of grain a year.
Combining that with the energy needed to produce that food, it means a medium-sized dog has an annual footprint of 0.84 hectares(公頃), about twice the 0.41 hectares required by a sports car driving 10,000 kilometers a year, including energy to build the car.
“Owning a dog really is quite an extravagance(奢侈), mainly because of the carbon footprint of mean. Other animals aren’t better for the environment,” the Vales say.
Cats have an eco-footprint of about 0.15 hectares a year, while two hamsters(倉鼠) are the same as a television and even the goldfish burns energy equal to two cellphones.
However, Reha Huttin, president of France’s 30 Million Friends animal rights foundation says pets are too important to human life to be got rid of.
“Everyone should work out their own environmental effect,” Huttin argude. “I should be allowed to say that I walk instead of using my car and that I don’t eat meat, so why souldn’t I be allowed to have a little cat to reduce my loneliness?”
The Vales give some solutions to reduce pets’ environmental effect, including reducing pets’ meat intake. But they said that, as with buying a car ,humans should take the environmental effect of their future compainon into account.
71．The best title of the article is "______"．
A．Work out our carbon emissions B．Reduce our pets’ meat intake
C．Be careful of keeping our pets D．Mind our pets’ carbon footprint
72．Reha Huttin’s remark really means that ______．
A．pets should not be kept as a result of consuming much food
B pets are doing no harm to the environment at all
C．people can keep pets by reducing their environmental effect
D．he prefers walking to driving to reduce his loneliness
73．We know from the article that ______．
A．a medium-sized dog eats around 95 kilos of grain and meat a year
B．a medium-sized dog has an annual footprint 5．6 times that of a cat
C．two hamsters burn the same energy as two televisions
D．a sports car running 10,000 kilometers requires 0.41 hectares of footprint
74．Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A．The Vales insist that pets should be got rid of．
B．Some pet owners are against the Vales’ point of view．
C．Keeping pets does have a bad effect on the environment．

75．Which of the following can help reduce pets’ environmental effect based on the text?
A．Feeding pets on less meat．
B．Working out eco-footprints of pets．

D．Getting rid of pets from human life．

A strange woman comes to my door one day in early March.It’s a rich area so we often have people selling things door to door，dusters，make?up，frozen foods—but she doesn’t look like a professional saleswoman.She hasn’t got the patter(喋喋不休) either.She just smiles shyly and puts a card in my hand：“Amy Turner.Pet Portraits Undertaken.”
I run my fingernail along the cheap gold edge of the card and look at her，waiting for an explanation.
“I’ll paint any animal in the comfort of your own home.”Amy Turner says.“Wouldn’t you like a nice picture of your loved one？I’ve had experience of dogs，cats，parrots，prize bulls...”
“Prize bulls！”I can’t help looking up and down our street.The thought of any of my neighbours keeping bulls in their back gardens makes me smile.
“I don’t have any animals，”I say as we look past each other.She must be wishing some little cat or dog would come running down the hall to give the game away and it is the first chance I’ve had to smell the air outside.It is one of those spring mornings when you wake up and find winter’s gone.Even the camellia in the garden opposite has flowered overnight，pink blossoms which look shocking against the quiet greens and greys.
“Why are you still in your dressing gown？”Amy says，turning her attention back to me.“It’s nearly lunchtime.Are you ill？”
“I’m fine，”I lie.I’m not going to tell a stranger I’ve just been sick in the toilet upstairs and would still be sticking my fingers down my throat if the doorbell hadn’t rung.But now I’m not sure what to do next.Amy is still standing there.She_doesn’t_seem_to_think_that_not_having_a_pet_is
_a_good_enough_excuse.
“I’m starving.”she says and I smile politely，nodding the way you do before you say goodbye.
“No，”she puts her foot in the door.“I’m really starving.I’ve had nothing to eat for two days and no one has any pets for me to paint.I need some food or I’ll faint，right here on your doorstep.”
I stand to one side and let her in.

Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.
But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails（指甲）carefully every time you wash.
You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub (浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect (消毒) the tub immediately afterward.
Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.
You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw meat because it can carry germs (細菌) that cause serious illness.
And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.
Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.
Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned (被拋棄的) animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.
【小題1】The first paragraph mainly tells us that pets can ______.
| A．be great friends | B．bring us pleasure |
| C．help us keep healthy | D．do harm to us |
| A．washing your fingernails after touching your pet |
| B．wearing gloves when cleaning your pet’s cage |
| C．washing your pet in the bathtub |
| D．bringing your pet for examinations regularly |
| A．the cow | B．the mother cat |
| C．cow’s milk | D．mother cat’s milk |
| A．Sharing your chocolate with your dog. |
| B．Letting your dog drink from the toilet. |
| C．Feeding your little cat with raw meat. |
| D．Giving your cat cooked fish. |
| A．call an animal rescue group |
| B．bring it back to your home |
| C．give it first aid（急救）in time |
| D．help to find its owner |
