問題詳情：

    A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its

pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the

 doggy parlors（客廳）where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique m treating their little friends in this

way?__36

     __ 37    They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million

pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary（獸醫的）  bills or animal furniture. It is

 difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of

 starvation and poverty.

    There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems.

An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs

leave on the streets.  38    But in a number of large cities It is a major problem.

    Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat and

they continually push their parents until they get one. But the parents don't realize how much time and

money must be spent on the little friend after it’s brought home. Then they abandon it.    39 You

must have read of children being hurt by pets on the street.

    Lastly,1 would suggest something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped

being sentimental（傷感的）about pets.    40  This will lead us to discovering cures for serious

human diseases.

  A. Many people find this funny.

  B. There's no definite answer to that question.

  C.I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments.

  D. Pet foods often contain more vitamins than human food.

  E_ As a result. they are allowed to run free.

  F This can be seen when we look at pet foods.

  G No. the English too, pay more attention to their pets.
