Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren’t sure where to start or feel like they just don’t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.

Think more before you decide

The decisions you make may go a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian diet. If you aren’t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies that have illegal(违法的) practices.

Help speak the word out

Speaking the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important problems of animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we’re facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.

Write a letter

We’ve all heard the saying, “ The pen is more powerful than the sword(宝剑)”. Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won’t buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者)to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.

Be more loving

If you’re considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who look after poor animals.

Let your actions be an example to others

It may sound simple,but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living animals with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment places that use animals to perform. Support legislation that protects animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.

There is nothing worse than the sound of someone snoring (打呼噜) if you are trying to fall asleep. Maybe people laugh at you about the noise you make in your sleep. Snoring isn’t just noisy. Sometimes it is a sign of a serious medical problem that should be treated by a doctor.

Snoring can happen to anyone, young or old. Snoring happens when a person can’t move air freely through his or her nose and mouth during sleep. People usually find out they snore from the people who live with them. Kids may find out they snore from a brother or sister or from a friend who sleeps over. Snoring keeps other people awake and probably doesn’t let the snoring person get top quality rest, either.

People with this disorder often wake up with bad headaches and feel exhausted all day long. They may be very sleepy and have difficulty staying awake while having a conversation or even while driving. Kids affected by snoring may be angry easily and have difficulty concentrating(集中注意力), especially in school and with homework.

According to the government survey, there are hundreds of anti-snoring devices(抵制打呼的设备) on the market. However, they may only work because they keep you awake. Other solutions include blocking the top of the bed up a few inches, changing sleeping positions and not eating a heavy meal or not drinking alcohol before bedtime. These kinds of “cures” may work only for someone who snores sometimes and lightly, or they may not work at all. If you can’t stop snoring or the snoring becomes heavy, it’s a good idea to see a doctor. Some people need to lose weight or change their diets to stop snoring. Sometimes medicines, or even surgeries are necessary.

42. If a kid snores during his sleeping time, he may ________.

A. have the top quality sleep                       B. do well in his or her homework

C. have enough energy for school work              D. be angry with others

43. What does the underlined word “blocking” mean?

A. 堵住            B. 堆方块                 C. 分区域             D. 垫高

A. Use anti-snoring devices to keep them awake.

B. Lose weight or change their diets to stop snoring.

C. Change sleeping positions for serious snoring people.

D. Take some medicine or have a surgery.
