Exercise 9. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
PETS
Many people like to keep pets. Dogs and cats are very popular pets. Some
people, however, keep birds or goldfish. They need less space and are easier to
look after.
If you want to have a pet, you can buy one from a pet shop, but you must be
careful not to buy a sick animal. It is best if you know something about the pet
you want. This helps you choose a healthy pet. However, if you do not have
much money and know very little about animals, you can visit the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
The first society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in
England in 1821. It was set up to make sure that all animals are treated with
kindness. The RSPCA in Hong Kong carries out this aim. The RSPCA officers
collect animals which have no homes and are left in the street. They look after
them until they are healthy again. People visiting the RSPCA may choose their
pets from these animals and you can be sure that you will get a healthy pet. If
later your pet becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at the RSPCA for
treatment.
When you have a pet, it is very important that you look after it properly. You
must remember to feed it at suitable times. You should also give it a clean and
comfortable place to rest. Your pet will be happy and healthy if you love it and
care for it properly.
