地鐵的英語閱讀理解

⑴ 以the motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years開頭的英語閱讀理解

是這篇吧？還有解析哦，望lz採納！

Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the eable future.
The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.
Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion（擁擠）. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.
When the auto enters the highway system, retractable（可伸縮的）arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.
The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鳴器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. (285 words)

這篇材料講的是未來汽車的問題。第一段先是舉出了兩種截然相反的觀點：「在不久的未來，汽車將會被人類廢棄（all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust）」，「在可預見的將來，汽車依然會是城市交通的主要方式（the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future）」。這樣本文討論的側重點也就呈現出來了——這里將要討論的是汽車的「未來」。
下文接續第一段所提的第二個觀點，說明未來被人類繼續使用的汽車可能會發生的變化。未來的汽車會變得更小，更加安全，也更有經濟性，同時不會使用汽油驅動（smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine），污染也會比現在的汽車小得多。
以上算是未來汽車相較現在的優點，不過，未來的汽車也依然存在問題，那就是交通擁堵（still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion）。但作者馬上提出了解決辦法：自動公路系統（automated highway system）。最後的兩個大段對這一系統的工作原理進行了解釋。
汽車進入自動公路系統後，車身上會有一條伸縮臂與鐵軌連接，此時汽車的動力便由系統提供電力控制（解決了污染問題），而汽車的操控則轉交給中心電腦，由電腦監控汽車所有的運行動作（第四段）。
司機所要做的是只是用電話輸入指令，告訴系統所要到達的目的地。系統會計算最佳路徑，同時保證行進路徑的暢通。這時，司機就有時間放鬆了，因為快要到達目的地的時候系統會自動發出提示（第五段）。
這一系統的效率如何呢？它在一個小時內的容量是10000輛汽車，而如今的公路只能容許1500-2000輛汽車通過（will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway）。
21. A
題目問未來汽車的一項重要發展很可能是……
A，動力來源。
B，駕駛系統。
C，監控系統。
D，可乘坐人數。
第二段對未來汽車的可能發展做了展望：It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present type，這里提到了5種可能的情況，包括大小（smaller），安全性（safer），經濟性（more economical），動力來源（not be powered by the gasoline engine），環保（more pollution-free）。四個選項中只有A與其中一種情況一致，本題選A。
22. C
題目問作者主要關心的問題是什麼。
A，如何實現汽車無污染。
B，如何製造更小更安全的汽車。
C，如何解決交通擁堵問題。
D，如何發展一套自動地鐵系統。
上一題考查了第二段，那麼這一題應該考查第二段以後的內容了。第三段指出the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion，即未來汽車依然會存在交通擁堵問題。此後的兩段全部圍繞如何解決交通問題展開，說明了一種新的公路系統如何可以解決這一問題。這樣 的話，本題的答案應該是C。A和B在第二段中都提到了，但只是一筆帶過，沒有繼續論述。D有一定迷惑性，要注意D說的是subway系統，而不是文章所著 力說明的highway系統。D這個選項應該是源於第四段which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically這句，但這里僅是把highway系統的一項裝置（rail）和subway（地鐵）的裝置進行對比而已（which指代前面的 rail，is similar to是「與……相似」，power做動詞講，指為地鐵列車提供電力。全句意思就是「與那些在地鐵里為列車提供電力的rail一樣」）。
23. A
題目問在自動公路系統中，是什麼為汽車提供電力。
A，一根鐵軌。
B，一台發動機。
C，一支可伸縮的機械臂。
D，一個電腦控制器。
文章講到自動公路系統的動力問題是在第四段。第四段一共三句話，第一句講的是汽車進入系統後，會從車身伸出一條可伸縮的機械臂，搭在一根鐵軌上。第二句講 的是與鐵軌連接後，汽車就交由公路系統提供電力作為動力。第三句講的是汽車的控制問題，講的是汽車的操控完全交予電腦。從這三句話可以看出，機械臂是從汽 車車身伸出的，不會提供電力，僅起到一個連接鐵軌的作用。鐵軌通過機械臂為汽車提供電力，並開始以電力作為動力，與發動機無關了。電腦只起控制汽車的作 用，與動力無關。這樣，本題應該選A。
24. D
題目問在自動公路系統中，司機所要做的只有什麼。
A，保持正確的行進路線。
B，等待最後到達終點。
C，隨時與電腦中心保持聯系。
D，用電話把行車目的地告知系統。
文章的最後一段講到了司機在自動公路系統中應做哪些事情。首先是電話通知系統其行車目的地（The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system），此後電腦會計算最佳行車路線並為該車保留行車路段（The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway）。最後司機所要做的就是等待到達終點了。
從這里可以看出，司機需要做的事情是電話通知系統其行車目的地，D的說法與此相符。B的說法在文中雖然也可以找到，但等待本身不能算是實質的事情。如果不輸入目的地，而只是等待的話，永遠也到不了要去的地方。
25. C
題目問作者對汽車未來的態度是怎樣的。
A，熱情的。
B，悲觀的。
C，樂觀的。
D，謹慎的。
作者在開頭首先介紹了兩種關於汽車未來的觀點，一是汽車將會被人廢棄，二是汽車依然會是城市交通的主要方式。此後，作者的論述一直以第二個觀點為前提展開。可見作者首先是看好汽車在未來世界的地位的。作者的觀點至少不是悲觀的。
第二段對未來汽車的變化進行了展望，作者認為汽車會朝向更小、更安全、更環保等方面發展。這一觀點應該說是樂觀的。
第三段指出了未來汽車發展的問題所在，但馬上提出了解決方法，最後兩段具體描述了這一方法。雖有問題，但可以解決，這里體現的還是樂觀的態度。
Enthusiastic是熱情的、充滿激情的意思，所表達的情緒非常熱烈，顯然並不符合文章的基調。Cautious所體現的態度應該是樂觀方面與悲觀方面等量齊觀，同等重視，與文意同樣不符。綜上，C最為合適。

⑸ 寫一篇關於 地鐵的英語作文 100單詞就好 要求有關於其利與弊 people talk loud

同學，為你解答：
Recently, we have had a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of the underground.
On the one hand, some people say that there is always very noisy on the subway, because it is crowded and people always talk loudly there. What's worse, taking subway is more expensive than bus. On the other hand, it is very good to build an underground. Firstly, it is of great help to rece traffic jams in the area. Secondly, taking subway to go to work is very fast. Third, taking subway is cheaper than car. It can save energe and help to rece the pollutions. In my opinion, there are more advantages to build an underground in the long run, so I agree to build one for further development of our area.

⑺ 地鐵列車的英語文章

關於上海軌道交通建設的英語文章
SHANGHAI METRO LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM, CHINA
The economic boom in Shanghai, which has a population of 15 million, had unleashed such a surge in traffic by the end of the 1980s that the transportation system was facing meltdown.
The city's authorities, who were increasing happy to seek advice from Western Europe and North America, decided in favour of a 40-year phased programme that would include 11 metro lines covering over 325km.
Although still in its relatively early stages with only three routes clearly mapped out, Metro has cut cross-city travel times in some cases from over an hour to a few minutes. A million journeys a day are expected by 2005.
THE PROJECT
After six years of construction and preparation work, Line 1 opened to considerable fanfares in April 1995, connecting the northern and southern districts of the city, and a 5.25km extension was added in 1996.
The early projects were delivered under a comprehensive contract between the corporation and its chosen consortium, comprising Adtranz (now Bombardier) and Siemens.
The contract with the two manufacturers covered the design, proction, delivery and introction into service of the rolling stock, traction power supply, overhead line system, station and telecommunications equipment, and signalling control and data analysis equipment. Finance was provided by a soft loan of DM 460 million from the Federal Republic of Germany.
The first phase of Line 2 was inaugurated on 13 June 2000, and when the whole section is finally completed it will link Hong Qiao International Airport and the new Pudong International Airport. The 25km Line 3, known as the Pearl Line, opened for revenue service in 2001.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Line 1, which has 16 stations, starts in the southern district at Xin Zhuang, and travels underneath the city centre to the central railway station.
The first 16.4km-long underground section of Line 2 runs from Zhongshan Park to Longdong Road Station in Pudong, and opened in September 1999, in time for the 50th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. When finally complete, Line 2 will be 55km long and stretch from Hong Qiao Airport, passing under a number of residential areas, public parks and the Huangpu River, to Pudong International Airport.
Line 3, the 19-station Pearl Line also has the main station as its focal point, but loops northwards on elevation from Shanghai South station to Zhongshan Park and terminates at Jiangwan Zhen. Starting with 25km and 19 stations, it will eventually be 62km in length.
The interiors of stations aim to make it easy for passengers to distinguish between lines. Hanging lamps and lattice flooring are constant themes but different styles of beams and columns, and indivial styles of decoration have been adopted.
Power for the system is fed from the city's 110kV main supply, via two infeed stations, which feed seven sub-stations along the route.
ROLLING STOCK
The trains for Line 1 were supplied by another consortium, the German Shanghai Metro Group, which, along with Adtranz and Siemens, also includes brake equipment manufacturer AEG Westinghouse, and coach body builder Duewag.
The vehicles were designed especially to meet specifications laid down by Shanghai Metro Corporation covering the anticipated passenger numbers per hour and direction.
The trains usually operate in formations of six cars with capacity for 1,860 passengers, but these can be increased to eight cars, with the addition of two extra motor cars to cope with extra loadings at peak times. Each car also has five pairs of pneumatically operated pocket sliding doors on each side.
New trains introced for Line 2 services incorporated technological improvements over their predecessors, and were based closely on vehicles for Guangzhou, which closely followed Shanghai in building a new light rail system. Enhancements incorporated in the new trains include more efficient air conditioning and larger doors.
When Line 3 first opened, the fleet of 28 Alstom Megapolis six-car trains had not arrived, so stock was borrowed from the other lines to offer a limited service.
In May 2002, Siemens won an order for 28 trains for the Pearl Line, with an option for another ten, while Bombarder is bulding ten new six-car train sets in Cuina for Line 1, with bogies from the UK and propulsion equipment from Sweden.
SIGNALLING/COMMUNICATIONS
Signalling installations are being provided by Alstom under the terms of the comprehensive contract it has been awarded for the development and construction of Line 3.
The motor car of each train has equipment which can detect and monitor faults, and pass on such information to the driver. The diagnostic signals are also stored so that these faults can be easily pinpointed when a train returns to the maintenance depot.
The original ticketing system has not proved successful and, from 2003, a new plastic single-journey ticket has replaced the old magnetic and paper cards. Small chips are embedded in the new tokens so passengers only need to hold them near the check-in machines while entering a subway station and throw them into the check-out machines while departing.
THE FUTURE
An ambitious plan adopted by the Shanghai Metro Corporation for 2025 envisages a comprehensive network of 11 lines over 325km, supported by seven light rail routes (136km).
Line 1 is being further extended from the current terminal at Shanghai railway station to Baoshan district in the northern part of the city. The Pearl Line will link Minghang District in the southwest and Baoshan District in the north.
Metro Lines 4 and 5 are expected to link southwest and northeast parts of the city, Pudong New Area and downtown. Line 6 will be a comparatively short line linking the downtown area and Pudong New Area, and planners are still considering whether to extend the line further westward to Pudong International Airport. Lines 10 and 11 will encircle the city.

善良之心， 久久相依 當時我沒有意識到，是爸爸幫我保持平衡 奧古斯塔斯 J 布洛克
1 隨著我漸漸長大，當別人看見我和爸爸在一起，我會覺得很尷尬。他身材矮小，走起路來跛得很厲害。我們一起走時，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人們就會盯著我們看。對這種不必要的注意我覺得非常難堪。他也許曾注意到，或著覺得煩惱，但他從來沒有流露出來。2 要協調我們的步伐並不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起來)則缺乏耐心。因此，我們走路的時候並不怎麼說話。但出發時，他總是說：「你定步伐，我會盡量跟上。」3 我們通常在家和地鐵之間來往，這是他上班的必由之路。不論生病還是碰到惡劣的天氣他都去上班，幾乎沒有曠過一天工。即使別人無法上班，他也要去辦公室。對他來說這是一種自豪。4 當地上有冰或雪的時候，即使有人幫忙他也無法走路。這時，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉著他，穿過紐約布魯克林的街道，直到地鐵的入口處。一到那兒，他就能緊緊抓住扶手一直走下去, 地鐵道里比較暖和，下面的樓梯不結冰。曼哈頓的地鐵站正好是他辦公樓的地下室，因此除了從布魯克林我們去接他的地方到回家為止，他都不用再出去。5 一個成年男子要有多少勇氣才能承受這種屈辱和壓力，我現在想來驚訝不已。他從沒有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎麼做到這一步的我感到不可思議。6 他從不把自己當作同情的對象，也從不對更幸運的或更能乾的人表示任何嫉妒。他在別人身上所尋找的是一顆「善心」。如果他找到了一顆善心，那麼有這么顆心的人對他來說就是一位大好人了。7 由於年齡的增長，我相信那是一種用來判斷人的恰當的標准，盡管我還不能精確地知道什麼是一顆「善心」。但是，當我自己沒有的時候，我是知道的。8 盡管很多活動我爸爸不能參加，但他還是盡量用某種方式參與。當本地的一支棒球隊發現缺經理的時候，他使它維持下去。他是一個很懂行的棒球迷，經常帶我去埃貝茨球場看布魯克林的道奇隊打球。他喜歡參加舞會和聚會，就是坐在一旁觀看，也很開心。9 有一件事我至今難忘。一次沙灘聚會上，人們打了起來，每個人都在推推搡搡，拳頭你來我往。於是他無法袖手旁觀，但沒有人幫忙，在松軟的沙灘上他站不起來。困窘之際，他開始大叫：「誰坐到我這兒來，我就跟他打！誰坐到我這兒來，我就跟他打！」 10 沒人坐下和他打。但是第二天，人們都和他開玩笑說，拳擊尚未開始，對手就故意認輸了，這還是第一次。 11 我現在才明白，有些事他是通過我，他唯一的兒子，間接參與的。當我打球（打得很糟糕）的時候，他也在「打」。我加入海軍，他也「加入」。當我休假回家的時候，他總要我去他的辦公室。 在介紹我的時候，他實際上是在說：「這是我的兒子，但也是我。如果不是這種情形的話，我也能做這些。」可是這些話從沒有說出來。12 父親已去世多年。但我還是經常想起他。不知道他當時是否感覺到了我曾不願意別人看見我和他走在一起。如果他感覺到了，我很遺憾我從沒有告訴過他後來我感到多麼難過，多麼渺小，多麼後悔。每當我為瑣事抱怨的時候，每當我嫉妒別人好運的時候，每當我沒有一顆「善心」的時候，就想起了他。13 在這種時候，我就把手放在他的手臂上，來重新獲得平衡，並說：「你定步伐，我會盡量跟上。」
獻給凱特的吻
1 作為晚間護土，每天下午我值班的時候，都要走過養老院的過道，在每個門口停下來看一看，聊一聊。經常，凱特和克里斯兩個人腿上放著大大的剪貼本，他們看著相片，緬懷往事。凱特很驕傲地向我展示逝去歲月的相片：克里斯——高個，金黃色頭發，瀟灑，而凱特是美麗的，黑頭發，愛笑。兩個年輕的戀人穿越時間隧道燦爛地笑著。他們現在坐在那兒，光線灑在他們白發蒼蒼的頭上，他們那飽經滄桑而布滿皺紋的的臉上盪漾著對往事的回憶的笑容，一切的往事都被照相機攝下並永久性地保留在了剪貼簿上，這時候他們看起來真可愛。2 年輕人對愛情的了解少得可憐，我常常這樣想。然而對於這樣珍貴的東西卻以為他們才擁有專利權，那真是太可笑了。愛情真正意味著什麼，老年人知道；年輕人只能猜測。3 凱特和克里斯總是在一起——在食堂、休息廳，沿著長廊和草坪漫步，總在一起，總是拉著手。我們這些工作人員吃晚飯的時候，有時凱特和克里斯正慢慢地走過餐廳門口。這時話題就會轉向對這一對老夫婦的討論，關於他們的愛和忠誠執著，以及他們之一去世了另一個會怎麼樣。我們知道克里斯是強者，凱特總是依靠著他。4 如果克里斯先去世，凱特會怎麼過生活？我們常常在想這一問題。5 像往常一樣，到了上床睡覺的時候，我就把晚上的葯拿給凱特，她就坐在她的椅子里，穿著睡衣和拖鞋，等著我的到來。在我和克里斯的注視下，凱特吃下葯，然後克里斯幫她從椅子上扶到床上，給她那瘦弱的身上蓋好被子。6 看到這一愛的舉動，我又一次地想（盡管已經想過上千次了），天哪，養老院為什麼不給那些老年夫婦提供雙人床？整個一生中他們都睡在一起，但是到了養老院，卻要他們睡單人床。一夜之間他們就被剝奪了一生的安慰。7 這種政策真愚蠢，當我看著克里斯手伸上去，關上凱特床頭的電燈時常常會這樣想。然後克里斯彎下腰，兩人輕輕親吻。他拍拍她的臉頰，他們微笑著。他總是把她床邊上的橫檔拉上以後，然後才轉過身去拿自己的葯。當我走到過道上的時候，我能聽見克里斯說：「晚安，凱特」以及她回答的聲音「晚安，克里斯；」他們的兩張床在房間的兩邊，中間隔著整個房間。8 我有兩天休班，當我回來時，我聽到的第一個消息是：「克里斯昨天上午去世了。」9 「怎麼回事？」10 「心臟病，突發。」11 「凱特怎麼樣？」12 「不好。」13 我走進凱特的房間。她坐在椅子上，一動不動，手放在膝上，目光呆滯。我握著她的雙手說，「凱特，我是菲麗絲。」14 她的眼睛一動不動，只是獃獃地瞪著。我用手托著她的下巴，讓她慢慢轉過頭來，好讓她看著我。15 「凱特，我剛剛得知克里斯的事。我很難過。」16 聽到「克里斯」這個詞，她的眼睛重現生機。她看看我，迷惑不解，好像正奇怪我是怎麼突然出現的。「凱特，是我，菲麗絲。我對於克里斯的死真的很難過。」17 她認出我了，於是一臉悲傷，淚如泉涌並沿著臉頰流下來。「克里斯死了，」她輕聲說。18 「我知道，」我說，「我知道。」19 我們有一陣子對凱特特別照顧，讓她在自己的房間里吃飯，給予她特殊的關注。接著工作人員幫她漸漸回到敬老院以前的日程安排。常常，當我走過凱特的房間，我會發現她坐在椅子上，腿上放著剪貼本，悲傷地注視著克里斯的相片。20 對於凱特來說，晚間睡覺是最難熬的時候。雖然已允許她從自己的床上搬到克里斯的床上，雖然工作人員一邊為她掖好被子，一邊與她聊天說笑，凱特卻仍然沉默，仍然落落寡歡。她蓋上被子躺下後一個小時，我經過她的房間，總會發現她還沒睡，凝視著天花板。21 幾周過去了，她晚上依然不能成眠。看起來很焦躁，很不安。為什麼？我想著。為什麼晚上比其他時間更難過呢？22 於是，一天夜裡我走進她的房間，看見她還是那樣毫無睡意，我一時沖動就說：「凱特，會不會是因為沒人親吻你道晚安吧？」俯下身，我吻了吻她那布滿皺紋的臉頰。23 就好像我打開了感情的閘門，眼淚順著她的臉淌下來，她緊緊抓住我的手。「克里斯總是親吻我說晚安，」她哭道。24 「我知道，」我輕聲說。25 「我很想念他，這么多年以來他總是親吻我說晚安。」她停下來讓我幫她擦眼淚。「沒有他的吻我就是無法入睡。」26 她抬頭看著我，眼裡充滿了淚水。「噢，謝謝你給我一個吻。」27 她的嘴角浮起一絲微笑。「你知道」，她知心地對我說，「克里斯過去曾給我唱過一支歌。」28 「真的？」29 「是的」，她點點了點她那滿是白發的頭，「我晚上躺在這兒，就想著那首歌。」30 「怎麼唱？」31 凱特笑了，拉著我的手，清了清嗓子。然後她輕輕地提起嗓子唱起歌來，嗓音雖然年老細弱卻依然優美： 親我吧，我親愛的，讓我們分手（睡覺）吧，當我老得做不動夢時，你的吻會永遠留在我心裡。
得益於寵物
1 最近，許多美國報紙都刊登了一篇小短文，題目叫「你能從自己的狗身上學到什麼」。這篇文章列舉了寵物狗常常做的七件事情，並說如果主人也這樣做，對他們也會有益的。這些事情是：l）當你心愛的人回家，跑上去迎接他。2）愉快地吃東西。3）天熱時，大量地喝水。4）打盹。5）不咬人，只咆哮。6）當非常想要一件東西的時候，去努力尋找。7）給予無條件的愛。2 有許多人仍然堅持說只有人類才能感受到愛這種情感。然而，有更多的人，通常是寵物擁有者，覺得不僅僅他們愛寵物，寵物也回報給他們愛。這只是擁有寵物的一項好處，但卻是很重要的一項好處。我們每個人都想身體健康。報紙上和雜志上寫了成千上萬篇文章，給予種種建議，告訴我們如果想改善健康應該怎樣做。這種建議經常包括這樣的內容：飲食得當，鍛煉身體，服用維他命以及養寵物。為什麼要養寵物？因為越來越多的研究表明擁有寵物的人比沒有寵物的人身體上和精神上都更健康。目前美國有一半以上的家庭養動物做伴，其中有51,000，000隻狗，56，000，000隻貓，45，000，000隻鳥以及其他的小動物。3 除了這些顯而易見的事情，如聰明可愛，看起來有趣，逗樂外，寵物為我們做的事情是我們常常意識不到的。如果你正養著一隻寵物或者曾經養過寵物，你就知道家裡有個寵物在等著你是多麼美妙的感覺，不管你長得怎樣，穿著如何，或者在干著什麼行當。寵物愛你是無條件的，而且不要求你談吐不凡。只要簡單地說一聲「好孩子」，拍拍頭，撓撓下巴後面，對寵物們來說就足夠了。它們會想一些辦法讓你知道，它們對你的贊美非常感激，或許是搖搖尾巴，或許是蹭蹭你的身子，低聲嗚叫，或許只是用充滿愛意的眼睛看看你。4 擁有寵物的人常說它們是多好的陪伴以及與它們在一起有多少樂趣。寵物專家和研究者還確定了擁有寵物和與寵物交流而帶來的許多其他好處。除了已經提到過的，寵物還能緩和緊張和焦慮，有助身心放鬆，提供安全感，以及擺脫困擾。某醫學研究顯示，在人們撫摸寵物的時候，血壓會下降。 5 寵物正被越來越多地用於上了年紀的人和治療患有早老性痴呆病或其他生理疾病的患者身上。在亞利桑那州圖森的一位女士與許多住在養老院里的老人分享她可愛的小狗。她每周帶著狗去他們那兒至少一二次，讓老人們抱抱或者撫摸這只小狗。老人們急切地等著它的到來，並總是問她，她和她的狗什麼時候還會再來。與孤寡或年老的人分享寵物的人有許多，這位女士只是其中的一位。當然，還有無數的故事講述如何馴養狗來幫助盲、聾、或被束縛在輪椅上的人，常常這些狗能夠使他們獨立地生活，而要是沒有狗，這一切是不可能的。這些人與他們的四足朋友之間的愛是感人的。甚至給狗梳梳毛或者輕輕地拍拍它，都是很好的理療，而且我們都知道散步的好處，散步也是狗所需要的。6 詹姆斯·赫里奧特，一位英格蘭的鄉村獸醫，一直是英語國家裡受歡迎的作家。他寫過許多關於寵物主人及寵物的書和故事。他的許多故事都是關於寵物與主人之間的愛以及他們各自從對方那裡所獲的益處。他作為一名作家聲名大噪的部分原因，是寵物愛好者喜愛讀有關別的寵物愛好者的事並分享他們的感受。
