地铁的英语阅读理解

⑴ 以the motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years开头的英语阅读理解

是这篇吧？还有解析哦，望lz采纳！

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（拥挤）. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.
When the auto enters the highway system, retractable（可伸缩的）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（蜂鸣器）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)

21. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.
A) its power source
B) its driving system
C) its monitoring system
D) its seating capacity（A）
22. What is the author’s main concern?
A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.
B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.
C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.
D) How to develop an automated subway system.（C）
23. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?
A) A rail.
B) An engine.
C) A retractable arm.
D) A computer controller.（A）
24. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is ________.
A) keep in the right lane
B) wait to arrive at his destination
C) keep in constant touch with the computer center
D) inform the system of his destination by phone（D）
25. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of autos?
A) Enthusiastic.
B) Pessimistic.
C) Optimistic.
D) Cautious.（C）
这篇材料讲的是未来汽车的问题。第一段先是举出了两种截然相反的观点：“在不久的未来，汽车将会被人类废弃（all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust）”，“在可预见的将来，汽车依然会是城市交通的主要方式（the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future）”。这样本文讨论的侧重点也就呈现出来了——这里将要讨论的是汽车的“未来”。
下文接续第一段所提的第二个观点，说明未来被人类继续使用的汽车可能会发生的变化。未来的汽车会变得更小，更加安全，也更有经济性，同时不会使用汽油驱动（smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine），污染也会比现在的汽车小得多。
以上算是未来汽车相较现在的优点，不过，未来的汽车也依然存在问题，那就是交通拥堵（still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion）。但作者马上提出了解决办法：自动公路系统（automated highway system）。最后的两个大段对这一系统的工作原理进行了解释。
汽车进入自动公路系统后，车身上会有一条伸缩臂与铁轨连接，此时汽车的动力便由系统提供电力控制（解决了污染问题），而汽车的操控则转交给中心电脑，由电脑监控汽车所有的运行动作（第四段）。
司机所要做的是只是用电话输入指令，告诉系统所要到达的目的地。系统会计算最佳路径，同时保证行进路径的畅通。这时，司机就有时间放松了，因为快要到达目的地的时候系统会自动发出提示（第五段）。
这一系统的效率如何呢？它在一个小时内的容量是10000辆汽车，而如今的公路只能容许1500-2000辆汽车通过（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
题目问未来汽车的一项重要发展很可能是……
A，动力来源。
B，驾驶系统。
C，监控系统。
D，可乘坐人数。
第二段对未来汽车的可能发展做了展望：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，这里提到了5种可能的情况，包括大小（smaller），安全性（safer），经济性（more economical），动力来源（not be powered by the gasoline engine），环保（more pollution-free）。四个选项中只有A与其中一种情况一致，本题选A。
22. C
题目问作者主要关心的问题是什么。
A，如何实现汽车无污染。
B，如何制造更小更安全的汽车。
C，如何解决交通拥堵问题。
D，如何发展一套自动地铁系统。
上一题考查了第二段，那么这一题应该考查第二段以后的内容了。第三段指出the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion，即未来汽车依然会存在交通拥堵问题。此后的两段全部围绕如何解决交通问题展开，说明了一种新的公路系统如何可以解决这一问题。这样 的话，本题的答案应该是C。A和B在第二段中都提到了，但只是一笔带过，没有继续论述。D有一定迷惑性，要注意D说的是subway系统，而不是文章所着 力说明的highway系统。D这个选项应该是源于第四段which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically这句，但这里仅是把highway系统的一项装置（rail）和subway（地铁）的装置进行对比而已（which指代前面的 rail，is similar to是“与……相似”，power做动词讲，指为地铁列车提供电力。全句意思就是“与那些在地铁里为列车提供电力的rail一样”）。
23. A
题目问在自动公路系统中，是什么为汽车提供电力。
A，一根铁轨。
B，一台发动机。
C，一支可伸缩的机械臂。
D，一个电脑控制器。
文章讲到自动公路系统的动力问题是在第四段。第四段一共三句话，第一句讲的是汽车进入系统后，会从车身伸出一条可伸缩的机械臂，搭在一根铁轨上。第二句讲 的是与铁轨连接后，汽车就交由公路系统提供电力作为动力。第三句讲的是汽车的控制问题，讲的是汽车的操控完全交予电脑。从这三句话可以看出，机械臂是从汽 车车身伸出的，不会提供电力，仅起到一个连接铁轨的作用。铁轨通过机械臂为汽车提供电力，并开始以电力作为动力，与发动机无关了。电脑只起控制汽车的作 用，与动力无关。这样，本题应该选A。
24. D
题目问在自动公路系统中，司机所要做的只有什么。
A，保持正确的行进路线。
B，等待最后到达终点。
C，随时与电脑中心保持联系。
D，用电话把行车目的地告知系统。
文章的最后一段讲到了司机在自动公路系统中应做哪些事情。首先是电话通知系统其行车目的地（The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system），此后电脑会计算最佳行车路线并为该车保留行车路段（The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway）。最后司机所要做的就是等待到达终点了。
从这里可以看出，司机需要做的事情是电话通知系统其行车目的地，D的说法与此相符。B的说法在文中虽然也可以找到，但等待本身不能算是实质的事情。如果不输入目的地，而只是等待的话，永远也到不了要去的地方。
25. C
题目问作者对汽车未来的态度是怎样的。
A，热情的。
B，悲观的。
C，乐观的。
D，谨慎的。
作者在开头首先介绍了两种关于汽车未来的观点，一是汽车将会被人废弃，二是汽车依然会是城市交通的主要方式。此后，作者的论述一直以第二个观点为前提展开。可见作者首先是看好汽车在未来世界的地位的。作者的观点至少不是悲观的。
第二段对未来汽车的变化进行了展望，作者认为汽车会朝向更小、更安全、更环保等方面发展。这一观点应该说是乐观的。
第三段指出了未来汽车发展的问题所在，但马上提出了解决方法，最后两段具体描述了这一方法。虽有问题，但可以解决，这里体现的还是乐观的态度。
Enthusiastic是热情的、充满激情的意思，所表达的情绪非常热烈，显然并不符合文章的基调。Cautious所体现的态度应该是乐观方面与悲观方面等量齐观，同等重视，与文意同样不符。综上，C最为合适。

⑸ 写一篇关于 地铁的英语作文 100单词就好 要求有关于其利与弊 people talk loud

同学，为你解答：
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.

关于上海轨道交通建设的英语文章
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 当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡 奥古斯塔斯 J 布洛克
1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。对他来说这是一种自豪。4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。9 有一件事我至今难忘。一次沙滩聚会上，人们打了起来，每个人都在推推搡搡，拳头你来我往。于是他无法袖手旁观，但没有人帮忙，在松软的沙滩上他站不起来。困窘之际，他开始大叫：“谁坐到我这儿来，我就跟他打！谁坐到我这儿来，我就跟他打！” 10 没人坐下和他打。但是第二天，人们都和他开玩笑说，拳击尚未开始，对手就故意认输了，这还是第一次。 11 我现在才明白，有些事他是通过我，他唯一的儿子，间接参与的。当我打球（打得很糟糕）的时候，他也在“打”。我加入海军，他也“加入”。当我休假回家的时候，他总要我去他的办公室。 在介绍我的时候，他实际上是在说：“这是我的儿子，但也是我。如果不是这种情形的话，我也能做这些。”可是这些话从没有说出来。12 父亲已去世多年。但我还是经常想起他。不知道他当时是否感觉到了我曾不愿意别人看见我和他走在一起。如果他感觉到了，我很遗憾我从没有告诉过他后来我感到多么难过，多么渺小，多么后悔。每当我为琐事抱怨的时候，每当我嫉妒别人好运的时候，每当我没有一颗“善心”的时候，就想起了他。13 在这种时候，我就把手放在他的手臂上，来重新获得平衡，并说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。”
献给凯特的吻
1 作为晚间护土，每天下午我值班的时候，都要走过养老院的过道，在每个门口停下来看一看，聊一聊。经常，凯特和克里斯两个人腿上放着大大的剪贴本，他们看着相片，缅怀往事。凯特很骄傲地向我展示逝去岁月的相片：克里斯——高个，金黄色头发，潇洒，而凯特是美丽的，黑头发，爱笑。两个年轻的恋人穿越时间隧道灿烂地笑着。他们现在坐在那儿，光线洒在他们白发苍苍的头上，他们那饱经沧桑而布满皱纹的的脸上荡漾着对往事的回忆的笑容，一切的往事都被照相机摄下并永久性地保留在了剪贴簿上，这时候他们看起来真可爱。2 年轻人对爱情的了解少得可怜，我常常这样想。然而对于这样珍贵的东西却以为他们才拥有专利权，那真是太可笑了。爱情真正意味着什么，老年人知道；年轻人只能猜测。3 凯特和克里斯总是在一起——在食堂、休息厅，沿着长廊和草坪漫步，总在一起，总是拉着手。我们这些工作人员吃晚饭的时候，有时凯特和克里斯正慢慢地走过餐厅门口。这时话题就会转向对这一对老夫妇的讨论，关于他们的爱和忠诚执著，以及他们之一去世了另一个会怎么样。我们知道克里斯是强者，凯特总是依靠着他。4 如果克里斯先去世，凯特会怎么过生活？我们常常在想这一问题。5 像往常一样，到了上床睡觉的时候，我就把晚上的药拿给凯特，她就坐在她的椅子里，穿着睡衣和拖鞋，等着我的到来。在我和克里斯的注视下，凯特吃下药，然后克里斯帮她从椅子上扶到床上，给她那瘦弱的身上盖好被子。6 看到这一爱的举动，我又一次地想（尽管已经想过上千次了），天哪，养老院为什么不给那些老年夫妇提供双人床？整个一生中他们都睡在一起，但是到了养老院，却要他们睡单人床。一夜之间他们就被剥夺了一生的安慰。7 这种政策真愚蠢，当我看着克里斯手伸上去，关上凯特床头的电灯时常常会这样想。然后克里斯弯下腰，两人轻轻亲吻。他拍拍她的脸颊，他们微笑着。他总是把她床边上的横档拉上以后，然后才转过身去拿自己的药。当我走到过道上的时候，我能听见克里斯说：“晚安，凯特”以及她回答的声音“晚安，克里斯；”他们的两张床在房间的两边，中间隔着整个房间。8 我有两天休班，当我回来时，我听到的第一个消息是：“克里斯昨天上午去世了。”9 “怎么回事？”10 “心脏病，突发。”11 “凯特怎么样？”12 “不好。”13 我走进凯特的房间。她坐在椅子上，一动不动，手放在膝上，目光呆滞。我握着她的双手说，“凯特，我是菲丽丝。”14 她的眼睛一动不动，只是呆呆地瞪着。我用手托着她的下巴，让她慢慢转过头来，好让她看着我。15 “凯特，我刚刚得知克里斯的事。我很难过。”16 听到“克里斯”这个词，她的眼睛重现生机。她看看我，迷惑不解，好像正奇怪我是怎么突然出现的。“凯特，是我，菲丽丝。我对于克里斯的死真的很难过。”17 她认出我了，于是一脸悲伤，泪如泉涌并沿着脸颊流下来。“克里斯死了，”她轻声说。18 “我知道，”我说，“我知道。”19 我们有一阵子对凯特特别照顾，让她在自己的房间里吃饭，给予她特殊的关注。接着工作人员帮她渐渐回到敬老院以前的日程安排。常常，当我走过凯特的房间，我会发现她坐在椅子上，腿上放着剪贴本，悲伤地注视着克里斯的相片。20 对于凯特来说，晚间睡觉是最难熬的时候。虽然已允许她从自己的床上搬到克里斯的床上，虽然工作人员一边为她掖好被子，一边与她聊天说笑，凯特却仍然沉默，仍然落落寡欢。她盖上被子躺下后一个小时，我经过她的房间，总会发现她还没睡，凝视着天花板。21 几周过去了，她晚上依然不能成眠。看起来很焦躁，很不安。为什么？我想着。为什么晚上比其他时间更难过呢？22 于是，一天夜里我走进她的房间，看见她还是那样毫无睡意，我一时冲动就说：“凯特，会不会是因为没人亲吻你道晚安吧？”俯下身，我吻了吻她那布满皱纹的脸颊。23 就好像我打开了感情的闸门，眼泪顺着她的脸淌下来，她紧紧抓住我的手。“克里斯总是亲吻我说晚安，”她哭道。24 “我知道，”我轻声说。25 “我很想念他，这么多年以来他总是亲吻我说晚安。”她停下来让我帮她擦眼泪。“没有他的吻我就是无法入睡。”26 她抬头看着我，眼里充满了泪水。“噢，谢谢你给我一个吻。”27 她的嘴角浮起一丝微笑。“你知道”，她知心地对我说，“克里斯过去曾给我唱过一支歌。”28 “真的？”29 “是的”，她点点了点她那满是白发的头，“我晚上躺在这儿，就想着那首歌。”30 “怎么唱？”31 凯特笑了，拉着我的手，清了清嗓子。然后她轻轻地提起嗓子唱起歌来，嗓音虽然年老细弱却依然优美： 亲我吧，我亲爱的，让我们分手（睡觉）吧，当我老得做不动梦时，你的吻会永远留在我心里。
得益于宠物
1 最近，许多美国报纸都刊登了一篇小短文，题目叫“你能从自己的狗身上学到什么”。这篇文章列举了宠物狗常常做的七件事情，并说如果主人也这样做，对他们也会有益的。这些事情是：l）当你心爱的人回家，跑上去迎接他。2）愉快地吃东西。3）天热时，大量地喝水。4）打盹。5）不咬人，只咆哮。6）当非常想要一件东西的时候，去努力寻找。7）给予无条件的爱。2 有许多人仍然坚持说只有人类才能感受到爱这种情感。然而，有更多的人，通常是宠物拥有者，觉得不仅仅他们爱宠物，宠物也回报给他们爱。这只是拥有宠物的一项好处，但却是很重要的一项好处。我们每个人都想身体健康。报纸上和杂志上写了成千上万篇文章，给予种种建议，告诉我们如果想改善健康应该怎样做。这种建议经常包括这样的内容：饮食得当，锻炼身体，服用维他命以及养宠物。为什么要养宠物？因为越来越多的研究表明拥有宠物的人比没有宠物的人身体上和精神上都更健康。目前美国有一半以上的家庭养动物做伴，其中有51,000，000只狗，56，000，000只猫，45，000，000只鸟以及其他的小动物。3 除了这些显而易见的事情，如聪明可爱，看起来有趣，逗乐外，宠物为我们做的事情是我们常常意识不到的。如果你正养着一只宠物或者曾经养过宠物，你就知道家里有个宠物在等着你是多么美妙的感觉，不管你长得怎样，穿着如何，或者在干着什么行当。宠物爱你是无条件的，而且不要求你谈吐不凡。只要简单地说一声“好孩子”，拍拍头，挠挠下巴后面，对宠物们来说就足够了。它们会想一些办法让你知道，它们对你的赞美非常感激，或许是摇摇尾巴，或许是蹭蹭你的身子，低声呜叫，或许只是用充满爱意的眼睛看看你。4 拥有宠物的人常说它们是多好的陪伴以及与它们在一起有多少乐趣。宠物专家和研究者还确定了拥有宠物和与宠物交流而带来的许多其他好处。除了已经提到过的，宠物还能缓和紧张和焦虑，有助身心放松，提供安全感，以及摆脱困扰。某医学研究显示，在人们抚摸宠物的时候，血压会下降。 5 宠物正被越来越多地用于上了年纪的人和治疗患有早老性痴呆病或其他生理疾病的患者身上。在亚利桑那州图森的一位女士与许多住在养老院里的老人分享她可爱的小狗。她每周带着狗去他们那儿至少一二次，让老人们抱抱或者抚摸这只小狗。老人们急切地等着它的到来，并总是问她，她和她的狗什么时候还会再来。与孤寡或年老的人分享宠物的人有许多，这位女士只是其中的一位。当然，还有无数的故事讲述如何驯养狗来帮助盲、聋、或被束缚在轮椅上的人，常常这些狗能够使他们独立地生活，而要是没有狗，这一切是不可能的。这些人与他们的四足朋友之间的爱是感人的。甚至给狗梳梳毛或者轻轻地拍拍它，都是很好的理疗，而且我们都知道散步的好处，散步也是狗所需要的。6 詹姆斯·赫里奥特，一位英格兰的乡村兽医，一直是英语国家里受欢迎的作家。他写过许多关于宠物主人及宠物的书和故事。他的许多故事都是关于宠物与主人之间的爱以及他们各自从对方那里所获的益处。他作为一名作家声名大噪的部分原因，是宠物爱好者喜爱读有关别的宠物爱好者的事并分享他们的感受。
