For many dog owners, walking their pets may be one of     39     (happy) moments in a day or relaxation for     40     (they) and their pets.

    41    , for dog owners in Wenshan City in Yunnan Province, walking their dogs has just become more inconvenient. The city     42     (produce) a notice saying that dog owners are banned (禁止) from walking their pets in the city from 7 a. m. to 10 p.m.

Some people agree with the rule, saying it makes people     43     (feel) safer. “It is from 7 a.m.to 10 p.m. that people are very active, and banning dog walking at that time could help avoid conflicts (冲突) between dogs and people,” a reporter wrote.

Others say the rule is inconvenient for pet owners and their pets. “The rule is too strict though    44     (everybody) situation is different,” a Wenshan pet owner Mr. Zhang said.

The rule was introduced due to a growing number     45     conflicts between dog owners and people walking on the street. Early this month, a dog owner in Hangzhou hit a woman     46     tried to drive the dog away as it started shouting at her son. A fight followed.

Wang Yukai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Governance in Beijing, said that while Wenshan’s rule is well-intentioned (好意的) , banning dogs from     47     (walk) from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. is a bad idea. Efforts (努力) to stop conflicts should center on making sure that dog owners raise their dogs     48     (proper).
