24、There’s no question that Americans love both dogs and cats. About 48 percent of families in the U.S.own dogs and 38 percent own cats. But one thing many people can’t agree on is which animal makes a better pet.

Cat lovers say their pets are easier to care for than dogs. They point out that cats don’t jump on visitors. Also, it’s cheaper to own a cat. Cat owners spend $ 300 to $ 800 less a year than dog owners do. Besides, dogs mess up the house by chewing(咬) things like shoes.

Still, dog owners say the money they spend is worth it. They argue that dogs are more social than cats. Also, scientists say that dogs are smarter than cats. Dog lovers point out that dogs help people, too. For example, dogs can be trained as service pets for people who are disabled.

Here’s what two kids think.

I have both cats and dogs, but I’d rather own a cat at any time. Dogs are noisy and make a mess. Cats are much quieter, and they’re better companions(伴侣).Cats are the perfect size for sitting on my knees. Also, it’s easier to take care of cats.

Michelle, 12, New York

There are many reasons why dogs are called “man’s best friend”. They are playful and love their owners, and you can teach them cool tricks. Cats mostly just care about eating and sleeping. Also, dogs can be service pets and even lifesavers. A cat isn’t going to protect your home from burglars(窃贼).

Logan, 14, Washington D.C.

【1】Families with dogs are more than those with cats in the U.S.

【2】In Paragraph 3, an example is given to explain that dogs .

【3】From the passage, we can know Logan .

A．is 2 years younger than Michelle

D．has a different opinion from Michelle

25、An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day’s hard work. When he was not far away from his house, the light on the cart went out. He tried but could not repair it.

28、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词使短文完整、通顺。

Do you know how to improve our English?

When we learn new English vocabulary, don't just remember a list of words. Instead, we should make sentences with the new word as often as we can the【1】time we learn it. In this way we will remember new words【2】longer.

Practising sounds is difficult-the "th" sound, for example. Choose words that begin with "th", and read them over and over again【3】we are comfortable with them. Now, let's have a try! This, that, those, them, think, thought, through, thin….

Read, read, read-in English, of course! Reading is one of the【4】ways to increase our vocabulary and improve our grammar in a natural way. Be sure to choose topics or books we are interested【5】.

When someone is talking in English, listen to the main point. If we hear a word we don't understand, ignore（忽略）it and go on【6】. If we stop and think about the word, we will【7】some other things the person is saying.

Always remember-practice makes perfect. Don't be afraid to make【8】when we practice speaking English. Don't be shy, try to be brave and speak up!
