Unit 2 Animals and petsPart AExercise 1Passage 1Dear Sir,Im 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 newspaper informed us that last year Britons spent 660 million pounds on dog food and 516 million 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 couldnt it? But it seems that in Britain animals come first. Perhaps it is time to think again. Yours faithfully, Ms D.WalkerKey: P.12 Q: what does the letter mainly tell us? ( a. the money spend by Britons )Passage 2One of the main complaints of the city residents in the United States is the number 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 cant find any money for animal population control.Keys: Q. What is the passage mainly about? （b. Problems caused by homeless .）Exercise 21. Mrs. Bush had been giving her students a very long and not very interesting lecture to animals. When she finished, she decided to ask a few questions. She started off with this question. “Now, Tommy, tell me where elephants are found.”Tommy hadnt done much listening, but he pretended to be clever, saying, “Elephants are such big animals that they hardly ever get lost.”2. An angry customer went back to the pet shop and said to the owner, “The cat you sold me is absolutely useless!” The owner looked at the cat and said, “Whats wrong with it? It looks perfectly all right to me.” The customer became furious and said, “When you sold it to me you promised it would be a good cat for mice. Yet every time it sees a mouse it runs away and hides.” The owner smiled and said, “Well, isnt that a good cat for mice?”Part BConversationChoosing a PetAttendant:Hello. Can I help you?Customer:Yes.
