Abigail’s mother had to go to a meeting in the afternoon and asked her to take care of her younger brother, Harry. They planned to play basketball outside, but it started to rain.

Abigail looked at Harry nervously and said, “It’s raining too hard to go outside, so what would you like to do instead? Do you want to color with crayons?”

“No, it’s boring,” Harry said.

Abigail sighed. This was what she had worried about. “Come on, Harry. Please think of something you want to do,” she said to Harry.

Harry’s face lit up as he asked, “Can we play hide-and-seek (捉迷藏)?”

Abigail stopped playing hide-and-seek years ago, but she wanted to do almost anything to keep Harry happy until their mother came home. She covered her eyes with her hands and started counting. When she reached fifty, she called out, “Ready or not? Here I come!”

Abigail started by looking in the family room and then made her way into the kitchen. When she wondered where Harry was hiding, the perfect place came into her head. She climbed to the attic (阁楼). The floor was so dirty that she easily followed Harry’s footprints to his hiding place behind some boxes.

“Now it’s your turn to hide,” Harry shouted happily. As he jumped around, he knocked over (撞到) several boxes. Abigail was going to shout angrily at him for being so careless when she saw beautiful beads (有孔小珠) on the floor.

“Cool beads!” said Harry, starting to pick them up.

“They can be used to make a wonderful necklace (项链) for Mom,” Abigail said excitedly.

When their mother came home, Abigail and Harry gave her the necklace. “What a wonderful necklace!” said their mother. “I forgot all about my grandmother’s beads.Where did you find them?”

“In the attic,” replied Harry. “They were playing hide-and-seek!”

Do you sometimes feel lonely? Are you sometimes under great pressure (压力)? Do you sometimes feel sick? If your answers to these questions are “Yes”, you might not need a doctor. Instead, you might just need a pet. Pets, like dogs, cats, or even birds, can make you feel better. In fact, many people feel healthy when they have a pet to take care of.

People who have pet s often feel calmer (更冷静的) and less lonely than people who don’t have pets. For example, Juliet Locke has a six-year-old cat named Snowball. “Snowball knows when I have a bad day. When I’m sitting in a chair, she’ll run to me and I’ll pet her. She really helps me feel relaxed,” says Juliet. “Pets can help you have a healthy mind.”

Pets can give you a healthy body, too. Dr. R.K.Anderson is a veterinarian (兽医). He started CENSHARE (Center to Study Human/Animal Relationships (关系) and Environments)，an organization that researches how pets influence (影响) people. These researchers (研究者) believe that people with pet s are healthier than those without pets. For example, pet owners often have a lower risk (风险) of heart disease. Many pet owners don’t have high blood pressure (高血压), either. If you have a dog, you need to take it for a walk. Taking walks is also good for your heart and brain health.

While most people think of dogs and cats as pets, having birds and fish can also be helpful. In fact, people own many different kinds of pets. Researchers studied the influences of these kinds of animals on their owners’ health. The researchers found that some people actually feel more relaxed and have lower blood pressure by watching fish or by listening to the sounds of birds. These activities make people feel calm.

34. Why does the writer write about Juliet Locke?

A．To encourage people to feed pets well.

B．To talk about how to choose a pet.

C．To show pets can make people feel healthy.

D．To ask people to talk about their problems with their pets.

35. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A．Pets can help people have a healthy body.

B．Pets can keep people away from bad feelings.

C．Keeping pets can help cure (治愈) some illnesses.

D．Keeping pets can improve the relationships between humans.

36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．CENSHARE mainly studies how to save pets.

B．A dog can be more helpful to people than a cat.

C．A person will probably get relaxed if he keeps a pet.

D．Watching fish can make some people’s blood pressure rise.

37. What’s the best title for the passage?

A．How to deal with bad feelings.

B．Pets can bring trouble to people.

C．How to get along well with pets.

D．Pets can help people keep healthy.
