Leading a dog’s life in America isn’t such a bad thing. Many grocery stores sell pet foods to owners eager to please their pets. In Houston, Texas, dogs can have their dinner delivered to their homes, just like pizza. Well-to-do canines can attend doggy daycare centers while their owners work. Pets can even accompany their owners on vacation. Fancy hotels are beginning to accommodate both man and beast. Furry guests in hotels can enjoy gourmet meals served on fine china and sleep in soft beds.Beneath the furry luxuries, there lies a basic American belief: Pets have a right to be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare organizations exist in America. These provide care and adoption services for homeless and abused animals. Vets can give animals an incredible level of medical care for an incredible price. To pay for the high-tech health care, people can buy health insurance for their pets. And when it’s time to say good -bye, owners can bury their pets in a respectable pet cemetery.The average American enjoys having pets around, and for good reason. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person’s blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from burglars and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help rid the home of unwanted pests. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide companionship and love. In many cases, having a pet prepares a young couple for the responsibilities of parenthood. Pets even encourage social relationships: They give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.Pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies. To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family. After all, pets are people, too.(1)The word “please” in paragraph 1 line 2 means ().A、to make somebody gladB、to make somebody unhappyC、to invite somebodyD、to treat somebody badly(2)The topic sentence in paragraph 2 is ().A、At least 75 animal welfare organizations exist in AmericaB、Vets can give animals an incredible level of medical care for an incredible priceC、To pay for the high-tech health care, people can buy health insurance for their petsD、Beneath the furry luxuries, there lies a basic American belief: Pets have a right to be treated well(3)“When it’s time to say good-bye” in paragraph 2 line 5 means ().A、when the pet says “good-bye” to the hostB、when the host says “good-bye” to the petC、when the pet diesD、when the pet has to leave(4)Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ().A、every American enjoys having petsB、having pets can do people something goodC、dogs and cats are people’s good friendsD、pets do not encourage social relationships(5)The author writes the last paragraph to show ().A、pets are the same as hot dogs and apple piesB、pets are peopleC、pets are just propertyD、pets are important
