Unit 2 Animals and pets
Part A Exercise 1
Passage 1
Dear Sir,
I ' m writing to say how shocked I am by the amount of money that people in Britain spend on their pets.
A recent article in your n ewspaper in formed us that last year Brit ons spe nt 660 millio n pounds on dog food and 516 millio n pounds on food for their cats.
Are we completely mad? Every day on TV we see pictures of people who have no food at all. A few pounds would buy them food for a week. Even in Britain there are many people without work and homes. A little money could make a big difference to them couldn
But itsteems that in Britain animals come first. Perhaps it is time to think again.
Yours faithfully, Ms D.Walker
Key: P.12 Q: what does the letter mainly tell us?
( a. the money spend by Britons …)
Passage 2
One of the main compla ints of the city reside nts in the Un ited States is the nu mber of homeless cats and dogs. It has been estimated that more than 31 million cats and dogs are wandering through the streets of the cities. Each year about a fifth of these animals are destroyed. A survey of 41 cities reports that as much as 15 million dollars is spent to capture and kill those animals every year. One city alone, Chicago, spends one million dollars a year to control its animal population. On the other hand, though you can find quite a lot of cats and dogs wandering in New York, the city government can ' t find any money for animal population control.
Keys: Q. What is the passage mainly about? (b. Problems caused by homeless ….) Exercise 2

Mr Su told the paper: -She is a loving mother, especially to those tigers. When those naughty cubs fought against her own puppies, she n ever got angry with them but tried to make them quiet with a gen tie hug. Keys:
