In many big cities, a lot of old people keep birds, cats, dogs and other animals in their houses. These animals are friendly to the old people and never leave them. So the old people love them and see them as their good friends or families.

It’s not difficult to keep these lovely animals at home. But you have to take them to animal hospitals to give them needles (注射), so they won’t get ill or they will make people ill. Now there are lots of animal food stores here and there. People can buy good animal food for their animals there. Old people can buy animal food on the phone or on the Internet. But it’s a little more expensive.

Sometimes it’s kind of dirty and dangerous to keep animals. They sometimes look dirty and smell terrible and can be dangerous. For example, an old woman in Shanghai lost her life on the street for her pet dog.

Maybe old people in big cities have many reasons to keep these nice and clever animals. They may feel lonely when their children leave. And these pets can be their great helpers. They are their good friends and help them in many things.

1.Old people love these animals because they are _________.

A. nice and lovely         B. can be great helpers

C. are not difficult to keep D. are friendly to them

2.If people don’t give the animals needles, the animals may ________.

Nature's cheats

Mary is digging in the ground for a potato，when along comes John．Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream．John's angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away．Once his mum has gone，John helps himself to Mary's potato．

We've all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young-the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him．But Mary and John are not humans．They're African baboons（狒狒）．1.

John's scream and his mother's attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others．2.

Studying behavior like this is complicated, but scientists discovered apes（猿）clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated．3. An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting．When she found nothing, she "walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day．"

Another way to decide whether an animal's behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal．A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy．"He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe．When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors．" Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe．4. But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying．

It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies．5. Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence．

A．In most cases the animal probably doesn't know it is cheating．

B．An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania．

C．And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior．

D．So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery．

E．The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use

of tools．

F．This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly

used by baboons．

G．Of course it's possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why．
