We find different kinds of animals on the earth. Some animals, such as tigers, elephants, and pandas, live in big forests. They are called wild animals. Some others like sheep and dogs live with men and they are called domestic(驯养的) animals. Animals are important to men. Men catch wild animals for fur(毛皮) and meat. Domestic animals give men food, too. They are more important than wild animals. Without them, life will be very difficult. Sheep and pigs are useful for man’s food. They give 80 percent of the meat men eat every year. Skins of some animals can be made into coats and shoes. From cows, we get milk. Horses can take us to other places. In some places animals are used to plough fields. It is clear that men can’t live without these animals.

The Harp Seal (格陵兰海豹) is one of nature’s most beautiful and lovely creatures. Many years ago it was hunted for it’s pure white fur. Hunting Harp Seals is now against law.
The seals spend the summer months migrating(迁移). Harp Seals close their nostrils and ear holes when driving in water, but have to surface frequently to breathe. Their favorite place to rest is on top of icebergs.
The female Harp Seal gives birth in February or March and feeds her pups(幼仔) for 14-18 days. Baby Harp Seal begin to lose their white fur at round six to eight weeks of age. When they grow up, the Harp Seals have brown skin. At birth, Harp Seals weigh 12㎏but can weigh to 130㎏as grown-ups. Harp Seals eat small fish, shrimps and krill. However, they are able to change from one food to another depending on what is available. Males have a lifespan of 29 years while females usually live for longer than 30 years.
Since the Canadian Government introduced laws to protect the seal pups from hunters, their numbers have increased to more than one million. Now every year, thousands of tourists flock to the pack ice to witness the wonderful sight of new pups born in spring.

Tony and Jane give their opinions about keeping pet dogs.
Keeping pet dogs is a good idea,says Tony I think people should be allowed to keep pet dogs. There are lots of reasons for this. First,dogs are really cute. It’s nice to pick them up and hold them in our arms,and it’s wonderful to see them growing up quickly. Second,your dog might not be dangerous but by simply barking(吠)he can keep away a burglar(窃贼)who might think of entering your house. Finally,we can also learn about life and death from dogs. Young people can learn how to care for others and how to respect(尊重)all living things by keeping a pet dog. I think keeping pet dogs is something everyone can enjoy. Keeping pet dogs is not a good idea,say Jane In my opinion,it is never a good idea to keep a pet dog. Firstly,pet dogs creates a lot of mess. They leave fur(毛)and hair on the floor,on beds and on sofas,and they need to be washed daily. Secondly,we should remember that not all dogs are friendly. Some dogs bark at people they do not know. A few dogs bark all night. This stops their neighbors from getting any sleep. A small number of pet dogs even bite(咬)people. Lastly,you have to make sure pet dogs are in good health and provided with good pet products. Paying for dog food and visiting the vet when dogs are ill can be expensive. I believe that people should not keep pet dogs.
11. Tony would probably think it ________ to put pet dogs on beds.
A. uncomfortable B. acceptable C. dangerous
12. The underlined word“they”in the passage refers to(指)“________”.
A. beds B. sofas C. pet dogs
13. From the underlined part,we can guess“vet”means“________”.
A. 兽医 B. 宠物店 C. 驯兽师
14. Tony and Jane disagree on ________.
A. the growth of pets B. the sound made by dogs C. the money paid for pets
15. It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A. people are not allowed to keep pet dogs
B. people are encouraged to keep pet dogs
C. opinions are divided on keeping pet dogs
