根据短文内容，选择正确的答案。
Many people like animals and keep one or more as pets—dogs, cats or some kinds of birds. If you keep a dog or a cat as a pet, you must know how to look after it. A grown—up dog needs two meals a day—not more. And it can eat meat, fish, rice and some other things. Dogs like big bones, but don't give them chicken bones. Remember to give them much clean water.
A dog should have a clean, dry box for sleeping. Washing it once a week is good for its health. If it is ill, take it to a doctor. A healthy dog will bring you more pleasure.
Be careful when you have chosen a cat. It has two meals a day with some fish. Cats drink a little milk every day. Sometimes you should give them vegetables to eat. Don't forget that they need clean water to drink.
Take good care of your pets. They will be your good friends. Maybe they can give you some help when you need.

“Mermaid” is hard to see in China
Some people think mermaid tale comes from a real animal called dugong. The dugong used to live in the waters of southeastern China. But for the past 14 years, no one saw it. If this goes on, the animal may go extinct in China.
Do you know dugong
* It has a round head.
* It is large. It is 2 or 3 metres long.
* Its tail looks like a whale's. It breathes out of the water by“ standing” on its tail.
* It only eats seagrass. It can eat 40 to 50 kilograms of seagrass every day.
What makes the animal's number go down
They can't find enough seagrass to eat. That's because ...
* People put dirty water into the sea. It's bad for seagrass.
* Too much fishing and sailing make the seagrass stop growing.
Don't worry too much.
Chinese scientists are trying to protect the animals. They hope that we can see dugongs five years later.
