________________________________________________________________ A. Choose the best answer.（12分） In many countries, pets are well loved. In America, 95 percent of pet owners think of their animals as family members. About half buy them birthday gifts. And it’s a two-way street. People who have pets tend to have lower blood pressure. They also have a lower heart-disease risk. Scientists are finding more and more evidence that animals can also help improve mental health. Some clinics have been using “pit therapy”（宠物疗法） alongside traditional medicine. Here is a look at some of the cures. Rabbits In one study, scientists told a group of stressed-out adults to pat a rabbit and a rabbit toy. The toy had no effect. Touching the living rabbit, however, reduced anxiety（焦虑）. Crickets（蟋蟀） Animals don’t have to be soft and lovely to help. In a 2016 study, elderly people who were given five crickets in a cage felt happier after eight weeks. The act of caring of an animal seemed to make the difference. Horses Horses are among the most-studied therapy animals. In Europe, they have been involved in medical treatment plans since the 1860s. Activities like brushing the fur of a horse have been shown to reduce anxiety in people of all ages. Fish One of the study focused on people who had Alzheimer’s disease（阿尔兹海默氏病）. When they dined in front of a tank of colorful fish, they ate more. Dogs Children who struggle with reading are less anxious when they read aloud to a trained dog. Their attitudes change and their skills improve.

In the city I live in, some seats on every bus come in orange color, different from the rest which are blue. Those seats are intended for(预留) a certain group of people—the old and some who need special care, such as the disabled or those with small babies. So you can often see young people choose to take others seats instead of the orange ones if possible.
One day, my friend Lisa boarded a bus and found the only untaken seat was an orange one. She h______81__ for a moment and slowly walked to it and sat down. As the bus went on, passengers accumulated(聚集) from stop to stop and the bus became really c____82____. At that time, someone near the door asked loudly if there was anybody who would like to o____83____ a seat to the old man who had just got on the bus. On hearing it, Lisa looked around to see where the old man was. She was even about to get up but found it difficult to do so. Thinking that someone near the old man would do him a favor, she remained seated. Actually, she had another reason to do so. To her s____84____, she soon became the target of criticism(批评的目标) from some people standing beside her. “Shameless,” a voice said.
“Morality decays(道德败坏),” another voice added.
Lisa kept silent as the short conversation went. She wanted to say something but held the words back. She understood as the only young person taking the orange seat on this bus , she “should” feel ashamed. Lisa turned her face to the window to hide her embarrassment.
If you were a passage on that but, would you stand out a ___85_____ her and blame(责怪) her for not giving up her seat? If I hadn’t known the story of Lisa’s side, I would. However, the truth is : Lisa had just a small o____86____ and was in recovery (恢复). Her doctor had told her to sit instead of s____87____ as much as possible. The long bus trip would give her trouble if she stood all the way.
D. Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)
“Dinging out”, or “eating out”, are phrases people use in Britain when they eat in a restaurant or a pub. Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has been ever been. In 2006, for the first time ever, British people spent more eating out in restaurants and pubs than cooking for themselves. It seems that many British people are becoming increasingly interested in how good their food tates, and also how healthy it is.
However, eating out can also be expensive. Restaurants are more expensive than pubs, though many pubs serve very good, simple food. As we British people do no dine out every night of the week, eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special occasion(场合). When going on a first date and wanting to make a good impression on him or her, or if celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, then many people like to go to a restaurant to eat. People often eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theatre.
