听独白,完成第16至20小题。

A pet can be something different for each member of the family,another baby to the mother,a sister or a brother to a child,a grandchild to the old people,but for all of us,pets give us happiness and they are our good friends.Many people feel their pets understand them because animals are quicker to understand anger and sadness.

Pets are very important to children.A pet in the family keeps people in touch with the animals' world.Seeing an animal give birth brings understanding of the naturalness of childbirth,and seeing a pet die helps a child to grow into a loving adult.Rightly we teach children to be good to their pets.They should learn,too,that pets are good for us people.
