It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home puter, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living anddownshiftingis one of them. Six percent of workers inBritaintook the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in centralLondon. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly toNew Yorkfor meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains ofWales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some time to get used to it, but its been worth. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. Im not really a country girl, but I suppose Im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”56.

But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens（过敏原）, prompting researchers to ask: Are cats and dogs really safe for children？A study finds that, contrary to many parents fears, owning cats or dogs does not increase a childs risk of developing allergies, and in fact, may actually protect them. The studys lead author, Dr. Dennic Ownby of the Medical College of Georgia, says that even he was “very surprised” by the results. Ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7, paring those exposed to cats and dogs during their first year of life to those who were not.By using skin-prick tests for detecting mon allergies, the researchers found that, contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years, children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk.Even more remarkable, children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction, up to 77 percent, in risk of allergies. Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats. Exposing young children to these bacteria helps exercise their immune systems early in life so that theyre better able to resist allergic diseases later.Theres something very important in that first year of life when the immune(免疫) system is developing that we can retrainitaway from an allergic response, said Dr. William Davis.And while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a childs allergy risk, they say if a family already has one or more animals, theres no need to get rid of them.66. Why do the researchers feel “very surprised” by the results of the study?A. Because the results are contrary to their expectationB. Because so many children are playing with cats and dogsC. Because parents are so much worried about their childrenD. Because children with animals may develop allergies easily67. pared with children who have pets，those who havent_.A. will lose the chance to develop immune systemB. will reduce the harmfrom bacteriaC. may suffer allergic diseases more oftenD. can keep doctors away68. It can be inferred from the passage that _A. the results of the study can make families with pets feel at easeB. fewer families would like to own cats and dogsC. keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthyD. pets are ill-treated by their owners69. The underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph refers to_.A. the early
