It's true that Americans love their pets. A new study shows that more than57 percent of U.S. homes own one or more animals. But are pets good for your health Yes, say experts, if you're not allergic(过敏的) to animals or afraid of them.
Pets give friendship and love. Study has shown that they can also help make people healthier. Many four-legged pets, especially dogs, can also get owners off the chair. They’re there to greet you when you return home. And they are ready for some play and attention. They need to exercise, so it drives people out. These walks also make pet owners talk to others instead of sitting around feeling sorry, which can help them feel better. These walks can also help owners do regular exercise. Rebecca Johnson, a professor of the University of Missouri's College, has been studying 1 S-to-87-year-olds in the "Walk a Dog, Lose s Pound" program, in which people take dogs for a walk each Saturday morning. "They lost weight and felt great." Johnson says.
Families with allergies can still get a pet. They may choose furless and featherless pets instead, like turtles, fish and snakes.
Be sure to think about it carefully before you bring one home. And don't think more pets will bring more health benefits好处......more animals do not mean more health. Though they are good friends finally pets can't replace your human friends.

CCTV showed the astronauts emerge from their re-entry capsule, which floated gently down under a giant red-and-white-striped parachute, and wave at cameras as they celebrated the end of the mission. Zhai, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng stayed inside for about 46 minutes to adapt to Earth's gravity before crawling out of the narrow entrance. The space walk, which was broadcast live and watched by crowds gathered around outdoor television screens, further stoked national pride one month after the close of the Beijing Olympics. "A small step by Zhai Zhigang in space is a big step in the history of the Chinese nation," said a commentary by Xinhua News Agency. On most newspaper front pages were pictures of Zhai clutching a Chinese flag as he hovered in space outside the Shenzhou 7 vessel. While successful, the spacewalk wasn't without anxious moments.
