Cats or Dogs? Both cats and dogs are popular pets. Most families, however, can keep only one pet. It can be hard to decide whether to take a cat or a dog into your home. Here, some middle school students are having a cats VS. dogs debate(辩论).

Group A:Donna Walker

We think cats are better for most families. Many people want to keep a pet, but they live a busy life. Cats don't have to be taken outside to use the bathroom. Instead, they just use a litter box. Their owners only need to keep the litter box clean. They don't need to worry if they are away at work for most of the day. They never have to run home from work early in order to walk their pet. 

Group B:Gary Hall

No, dogs are better. Just think about why you want to keep a pet. Dogs can bring you lots of happiness. When you go back home from school or work, your dog will always greet you at the door with excitement. Cats... huh... When you walk into the room, never expect your cat to be too excited about seeing you. What's the point in keeping such a pet?

Group A:Brian Ross

Well, cats seem to have their own timetables, but when they do look for love, they will do their best. Moreover, cats usually live longer than dogs. Most cats can live up to 15 years while most dogs only have 13 years on the planet. Isn't it nice to be able to spend more time with your pet?

Group B:Annie Miller

But dogs are more faithful. A dog never leaves its owner no matter what happens. Dogs also keep you safe. If a bad guy tries to break into your home, your dog will drive him away with loud barks. 

Group A:Paula Lee

Yeah, dogs make so much noise! Some dogs bark at almost every stranger, but are there so many bad guys? Cats, however, are quiet most of the time. 

Group B:Eric Bell

Dogs can be trained well. Cats have claws(爪子)and they are interested in everything. They can cause much more trouble!

 阅读下面语篇,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出各题的最佳选项。

Whether we're young or old,rich or poor,we have one thing in common:The moon always looks down at each of us when it lights up the night sky. 

Just like a mirror,the moon reflects the sun's light. It can also reflect people's feelings. This is probably why the moon is always popular among Western and Chinese music,poems and other forms of literature. So when we look at the moon,what exactly do we see looking back at us?

Well,that depends on who's looking. 

The ancient Greek poet(古希腊诗人) Sappho,for example,saw the moon as a woman who lit up space with her beauty. 

Later in England,however,the moon's image(形象) was completely different. In the Middle Ages,English people often drank to get away from difficult life. In their eyes,the moon was a man who liked drinking. In London,at least three pubs(酒馆) were named Man in the Moon. It's probably because the bright moon at night looks like a man's red face after drinking. A popular song sung in the pubs at that time even went,"Our man in the moon drinks wine…"

__▲__ Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's Quiet Night Thought reads,"I look up to the mountain moon,and then I look down and think of home. " Similarly,Zhang Jiuling wrote in another poem,"Looking at the moon and thinking of one far away. " So in Chinese culture,when people look at the moon,they may miss their hometown and someone. Very interesting,right?
