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 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 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 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.
1. Many people love to_______
A. own a pet shop B. keep pets C. look after sick pets D. buy and sell pets
2. According to the passage, what kind of pet needs more space?
A. A dog B. A bird C. A goldfish D. A mouse
3. What can help you choose a healthy pet?
A. Being careful with your money B. learning about a pet you want
C. Having a lot of money D. Visiting many pet shops

A. in 1924 B. more than 1000 years ago
C. in England D. in 1842
