Some people take lots of exercise. Others keep strict diets. But according to recent research, the
best way to live a long and happy life is simple. Get a dog.
"We have known for many years that the company of a pet can increase
well-being in a number of ways. " says Dr. Bonnie Beaver, an animal behavior
specialist at Texas University.
"For example, the survival rates of heart attack victims with pets are much greater than those of
people without pets."
According to Dr. Beaver, pet owners are less likely to need a doctor. They recover more quickly
when they do get ill. They have lower blood pressure,take more exercise and are more socially active.
Above all, they are happier. Seventy percent of the families Dr. Beaver surveyed said that their family
environment was happier after they got a pet. And this is what Dr. Beaver and other researchers are
trying to achieve. They want to find a scientific link between human happiness and a long life.
There is no final answer to this question yet, but it seems to be something to do withemotional ties.
People with someone or something to love live longer. "There are many forms of animal-human
relationship and some are very helpful." says Dr Beaver. It seems that the more lovely an animal is, the
more it benefits our health. As the saying goes, "If you want to be loved, get a dog."
Pet ownership benefits men and women equally. Other life experiences divide the sexes. Women
are more sensitive to bad marriages than their husbands because they work harder at their relationship,
says Dr. Janice Glaser of Ohio State University.
The message seems to be that a woman is better off with a good dog than a bad husband. Yet in
some ways, men are similar to dogs. They like getting dirty and making a mess. They forget birthdays.
They can disappear for days. How can they be better trained?

"Many times the person who hurt you has no 12 of apologizing," Luskin says. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same 13 . So if you wait for people to apologize ,you could be waiting a(n) 14 long time. "Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 15 to the person who upsets you.

任務(wù)型讀寫。 閱讀下列短文, 根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后的表格中填入恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~.注意:表格中的每個空格只填1個單詞。 Being on bad terms with your neighbors can make your life frustrating day after day. But taking the time to establish a good relationship with your neighbors has a good many benefits. The community will be friendlier, the neighborhood safer, and the area a nicer place to live in. 'There are some suggestions to develop a good relationship with your neighbors. Whether you're new in the neighborhood or new residents who have just moved into your block, introduce yourself. Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area. Sometimes, you can remedy (補(bǔ)救) problems before they even start; for example, if you do a lot of yard work, let them know in advance and mention that if it's getting too loud, they shouldn't hesitate to let you know. Be aware of the shared walls, if you and your neighbors share adjacent (相鄰的) living spaces. and try to put noisy household appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers away from the shared walls. Keep your pet dog on a leash (皮帶) if it has a habit of running rampant on your neighbors' lawns, especially if they have a pet cat or a pet dog of their own, and ensure to clean up after it. When you park your vehicle, be sure not to block anyone's access, or make them have to pull out of a very tight spot. Don't slam (砰地關(guān)上) your car doors late at night. Weed your garden in a regular way, because the presence of weeds in your yard is not only unsightly but can also spread to your neighbor's yard. Really good neighbors watch out for each other. They offer to help, especially on matters that impact the larger neighborhood and look for opportunities to communicate. Great neighbors make for great neighborhoods.

There are many rights to make sure that people will be treated fairly when they are suspected
or accused of a crime. Sometimes these rights are called "due process of law". In using these rights,
a person should have the help of a lawyer.
You have a right to protect against unreasonable searches and seizures. The police generally
may not search you or your home, or take things you own, without a "warrant". A warrant is a
paper which states, very exactly , the place to be searched and the things to be taken. Sometimes,
however, the police will not need a warrant to search you or your property. If an officer sees you
committing a crime, or if he has a good reason to believe you have committed a serious crime, he
may arrest you and search you and the area right around you without a warrant.
If you invite a police without a warrant to come into your house and he finds proof of crime,
the evidence may be used against you in court. If you do not want an officer to search you or your
home and he does not have a warrant, tell him that you do not give him the right to search. However,
if the officer will not listen, do not try to stop him. It is dangerous to resist and it may be illegal to do
so. Any evidence which a policeman gets during an unlawful search and seizure cannot be used against
you.
Police officers must act reasonably and fairly at all times. They should use physical force only when
it is needed to arrest someone to enforce a law. They may not use physical violence to "teach someone
a lesson".
