　 If you are in town in a western country, you will often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world, but the reason why one keeps a dog has changed.

　 Once upon a time a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told it to. Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs didn’t eat what they got until their masters agreed, so dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to hunt other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city.

　 For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

　 B. Dogs were used to hunt other animals.

　 C. Dogs can perhaps drive thieves away

　 D. People used to keep dogs to protect their house birds

3. The main reason why people in towns and cities raise dogs now is that _______.

　 A. they train dogs to drive sheep B. they want dogs to frighten thieves for them

　 C. they use dogs for the hunting of other animals

　 D. they want to keep the dogs as friendly members of their families

4. What can we infer from this passage?

阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

    What are some of the steps a person can take to prevent his house　　 from being burglarized (盗窃) while he is away? One step is to make　　 sure that the house has a lived-in lock. Living-room curtains should　　 be pulled down only half way. Bedrooms that usually have the curtains　　 pulled down at night should be left down. Another is to make sure that　　 outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险). Still another is　　 to leave several 100w lights burning and make sure that one is in the　　 kitchen. Lights that turn on and off by themselves are the best. Then,　　 too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and set to a　　 talking station. Any type of speaking makes a burglar (a thief) think　　 twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on vacation, make　　 sure that nothing collects in the front or in back of the house.　　 Particularly, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and that a　　 trusted neighbor has been asked to pick up the mail (邮件). Burglars　　 are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overfilled mail　　 boxes.
