  1.

  Pet­keeping is a time­honoured tradition. One of the reasons for people to raise dogs or cows was usefulness. While people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards, the civilised man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative(利用的).

  2.

  We keep animals as pets because they are attractive. We all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic(美学的)value, and this is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture. Keeping pets is one form of this urge. A Siamese cat in the house can be a decorative object. Pets are playful animals and they amuse us. A little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs.

  3.

  Many parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children. Having pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of animals and responsibility. Children get the opportunity to take on full responsibility for another creature's life. It will be an educational experience for a child to watch the natural life cycle of an animal. There are psychological(心理的) benefits for children. Pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely. Pets are excellent companions. Keeping pets means giving love and being loved. We find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return. We get pleasure from their appearance and their behaviour.

  4.

  As more people move into apartments, there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys. Therefore, caged animals have increased in popularity. Birds fall into this group. We keep them fo r their beautiful songs and feathers. Fish keeping is a widespread hobby and the keeper can observe their behavior in the glass tank and study its entire life cycle. The cat is a fine house pet and it fits neatly into human habitation(居住地) without requiring its own cage. They are wonderful hunters, if there are rats around.

  5.

  Pets satisfy man's desire to care for a bit of nature. The pet owner has the responsibility for supplying those needs that nature provides. Pets are amusing and entertaining, but we are in a way doing animals harm by making them live in a human environment. Are we not enslaving(奴役)them?

  A.Healthy way of life giving way to overuse of medicine

  B.Different findings as to taking additional vitamin

  C.EU's response to overuse of health products

  D.Worrying increase in multivitamin advertising

  E.EU directive for the benefit of individuals

  F.EU directive against prediction in novels

  1.________

  The use of health supplements such as multivitamin tablets has increased greatly in the western world. People take these supplements because advertising suggests that they prevent a range of medical conditions from developing. However, there is concern that people are consuming worryingly high doses of these supplements and the European Union (EU) has issued a directive that will ban the sale of a wide range of them. This EU directive should be supported.

  2.________

  Research suggests that people who take Vitamin C supplements of over 5000 milligrams a day are more likely to develop cancer. This shows how much damage these health supplements do to people's health. A spokesman for the health supplement industry has argued that other research shows that Vitamin C supplements hel p prevent heart disease, but we can dismiss this evidence as it is from a biased source.

  3.________

  Science fiction of the 1960s and 1970s predicted that pills would replace meals as the way in which people would get the fuel they needed. This, it was argued, would mean a more efficient use of time as people wouldn't have to waste it preparing or eating meals. The EU directive would help prevent this nightmare of pills replacing food becoming a reality.

  4.________

  People already take too many pills instead of adopting a healthier lifestyle. For example, the consumption of painkillers in Britain in 1998 was 21 tablets per year for every man, w oman and child in the country. People do not need all these pills.

  5.________

  Some might argue that the EU directive denies people's right to freedom of choice. However, there are many legal examples for such intervention when it is in the individual's best interests. We now make people wear seatbelts rather than allowing them to choose to do so. Opposing the EU directive would mean beneficial measures like this would be threatened.
