From the moment animals become pets, they really stop being animals and become something
else. They suddenly become Douglas the dog, Catherine the cat, Raffy the rabbit and Sandra the snake.
By naming our pets, they instantly become our companions, playmates and friends. In short, they
become almost human.
It is well known how much pets give to their owners. Douglas the dog is more than just a pal for
a child: he can teach his young owner responsibility. When the child gives Douglas a bath or a meal,
he’s learning that others can depend on him. Of course, pets offer a lot to older owners too. For senior
citizens, pets break down the walls of isolation. It is even said that pets can make the aged physically
fit. The daily walks they take with their dogs or cats do wonders for their health.
Considering all the things pets do for us, it is no surprise we return the favor. We do so most
obviously and especially when we treat them like people. Take Noriko Uchiyama for example. This
Japanese lady goes to a spa every month. Yet you should think twice if she asks you to join her.
Because of Pon-chan. Pon-chan is nervous about going with her but he absolutely has to go because
his fur is falling out. According to Noriko, Pon-chan’s skin problem—which causes his loss of
fur—can be cured by a relaxing time at the spa.
Noriko Uchiyama is no unusual pet owner. Owners worldwide are “humanizing” their beloved
animals. They give Raffy the rabbit clothes to wear during winter time. They dress up Catherine the
cat as a hot dog during Halloween. Some dogs even have cosmetic surgery to have their ears stick out
straight. Other pets travel with their own passports. No wonder pet owners now object to the word
“owner”—they’d rather be called pet “guardians.”
62. Noriko takes Pon-chan to the spa with her because _________.
(A) Pon-chan asks her to do so
(B) she believes that bathing at a spa can help cure Pon-chan’s skin illness
6
(C) her friends ask her and Pon-chan to join them
(D) she wants to distract Pon-chan’s attention from her
63. Which word in this passage implies that Pon-chan is a dog?
(A) Skin
(B) Fur
(C) Spa
(D) Ears
64. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the relationship between
pets and their owners?
(A) Pets can help their elderly owners no longer feel they are alone and have no friends.
(B) Walking dogs or cats will improve the health of the elderly owners.
(C) Pets can work magic to amuse their owners.
(D) Keeping pets helps young owners learn about their responsibility.
65. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the ways pet owners “humanize” their
beloved animals?
(A)They travel with their pets.
(B) They dress up their pets.
(C) They have their pets undergo plastic surgery to make them better-looking.
(D) They let their pets sleep in bed with them.
