A. Cats can bring illness. B. Keeping a cat is good for you. C. You should let your cat inside. D. Going outside is bad for cats,too. E. The birds are fewer and fewer in America. F. Cats kill many birds and small animals every year. |
Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.
Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two-thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.
They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yard,and further weakening the health of the natural populations.
Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife,it's also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks(攻击)from other animals. In fact,outdoor cats usually don't live past the age of five,while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.
Keep your pet cat inside!If you raise a young cat,it's your duty to let it play inside.

Reporter: ①
Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was having a trip to India. I visited a photographic exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant.
Reporter: What did you do next?
Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter: ②
Chris: Not too long. I bought an elephant called Tara for about USD 6,000.
Reporter: ③
Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter: ④
Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
