The former group of people think that pets are good and helpful companions. Some of them even go so far assaying that animals are as good as humans, and their rights should be respected. Those who hates pets say that animals are noisy, dirty and dangerous. They think laws should be made to forbid people from keeping dogs and cats in cities and towns. The different opinions on keeping pets, which reflect personal preferences, have caused many disputes and much unpleasantness among people who are close neighbors.Personally I do not like pets. But I think we should learn to respect the rights of pet lovers. We have no right to forbid people to keep pets in their home, as long as the animals are properly taken care of and do not threaten the safety and peace of others.Part Ⅱ1-7 A B D C A D A 8.the social function of language 9.more interesting and detailed response10.some fresh energyPart ⅣSection A47-56 K O F H M J I B C ASection B 57-66 BDCAA BDACBPartⅤ67-86 BACBA BBCDA ACCAB AACABPart Ⅵ87 He was embarrassed88 which ever you prefer89 It is in your best interest to size up the situation90 in response to the financial crisis91 Young people would be better off making a living on their own。
