　　I decided to sail at Swell City, a favorite outpost on the Washington side of the Columbia．That July

　　to be one of the windiest months on record．I grew to find that what I was doing did

　　What hurt her mother was only being able to stand aside when her daughter needed her most．“Kelly…I’m really sorry．You can’t go．I’m too concerned about you. You might accidentally go in the sun，which means we have to get you to hospital again．”Kelly was allergic to the sun．The doctor said it was incurable．

　　Kelly’s mother closed her eyes and she pointed upstairs where Kelly’s bed was．“Go to bed．”she said．Kelly had tears in her eyes．She forced her legs up the stairs and buried her face in her pillow．She wanted Danny to come back , for he could tell her stories about birds and squirrels．She waited，and soon he did come and told her about a blue bird he had seen．Kelly often wondered what a bird looked like．She was really curious about the birds in the yard．Maybe she could find out herself someday．

With shaking hands，Danny turned over the body．He screamed．It was Kelly．Her skin was swollen and had ugly rashes(皮疹)all over．She was holding a pencil in her right hand．And in her left hand was an almost finished picture of a bird , below which he found some words which read：“I finally get to see you．I will always remember you and love your nature no matter what．”

　　【2024·廣西桂林、崇左市高三下學期4月聯合考試】A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children.Although rather shocking，it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlours(客廳) where loved pets rest.Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way?

　　No，the English，too，pay more attention to their pets.

　　This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods，which often contain more vitamins than human food.They certainly cost much.Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone，to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture.It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty，so it’s not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.

　　There are a variety of reasons why I find pets－raising alarming.They cause physical problems.An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets.Many people find this funny，but in a number of large cities it is a major problem.Animals can cause disease，too.It is the threat of babies—a disease with no known cure.

　　Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners.Most little children want a dog or a cat，and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one.It is only when the “sweet little thing” has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on “Rover” or “Bonzo”．Then they just abandon it.As a result，they are allowed to run free.English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year，killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.

　　Lastly，I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it.In my view，it’s time we stopped being sentimental about pets.I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments.This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases，then I say，“keep cutting！”

　　．The doggy parlours are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ________．

　　A．what costly lives the pets are living

　　B．where Americans keep their pets

　　C．why children love their pets so much

　　D．how much pets depend on their masters

　　．In the second paragraph “to get hot under the collar” probably means ________．

　　A．getting quite hot

　　B．becoming excited

　　C．feeling extremely angry

　　D．receiving a fashionable shirt

　　．According to the author，in which field can animals be most useful?

　　A．Food.

　　B．Sports.

　　C．Entertainment.

　　D．Medicine.

　　．What is the author’s attitude towards pets－raising?

　　A．Sympathetic.

　　B．Opposed.

　　C．Pitiful.

　　D．Supportive.
