Changes in life
Over the recent years, I′ve seen great changes in my life. Many aspects are to be concerned, but by simply specifying how my family are better off now than ever before suffices it all. We used to live in a cramped and gloomy room, and things were not so good as we had to strive for light and even more fresh air. Now, in this spacious and luminous room that I¨m talking about, I′m leading a life that′s more than satisfactory and getting around here and there is no longer a big problem. 范文二：
Changes in Life
Over the past twenty years or so, great changes have taken place in our life. Take my family for example.
My parents contacted others mainly by sending them letters in the past. But now we Call long distance at home. And once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information. But now we get the news by watching TV. Another big change is in my living conditions. When they got married about twenty years ago, my parents lived in a small room crowded with fiirniture. But now we have moved into a big new three-room apartment. In short, our life has become comfortable and convenient.

Changes in life
There have been many changes in my life. With the development of the economy, my life is better off. For clothing, I have different styles of pretty clothes. But in the past, there were fewer clothes in my wardrobe. For food, I usually had traditional Chinese food for every meal, rice, noodles or a steamed bun with one or two light dishes such as preserved pickles. Nowadays, I can afford to buy any delicious food, including western foods. For housing, I have moved from a cramped and gloomy room to a big and bright flat. For getting around, I rode an old bike on my way to work years ago. At present, I drive my private car to work and travel. I believe my life will be better and better in the future.

PAT the Dog
Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT ( Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognizing the benefits of pets more and more – particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets.
Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn’t spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital.
There are many other “working dogs”. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a god, Tess, from the charity “Dogs for the Disabled”. “She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It’s like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection.”
26. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? _____B______
A. All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients. B. Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.
C. Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients. D. Doctors and nurses are aware pets will bring benefits to all the patients.
27. Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _____C______. A. children
B. people with mental illness
