Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.

But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails carefully every time you wash.

You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub(浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect(消毒) the tub immediately afterward.

Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.

You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw(生的) meat because it can carry germs(細(xì)菌) that cause serious illness.

And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.

Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.

Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned(被拋棄的) animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.

66.　 The first paragraph mainly tells us that pets can ______.

A. be great friends　　　　　 　　 B. bring us pleasure

C. help us keep healthy　　　 　　 D. do harm to us

67. To keep healthy, the author may be against ______.

B. wearing gloves when cleaning your pet’s cage

C. washing your pet in the bathtub

D. bringing your pet for examinations regularly

68. The underlined word “it” in Para.7 refers to ______.

69. Which is the RIGHT way to feed your pet?

A. Sharing your chocolate with your dog.

B. Letting your dog drink from the toilet.

C. Feeding your little cat with raw meat.

D. Giving your cat cooked fish.

70. According to the text, when you meet an abandoned dog, you should ______.

_1_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

    The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _2_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.

    Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _3_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.

    _4­­   You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

    At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

    Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them.  5   Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

    So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A. That’s easy.                       

B. Enjoy your own club!           

C. Invite a designer to join you.            

D. What are you interest in?                       

E. Some vacation is just around the corner.

F. Then you need to p ick a name for your club.    

G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.
