A
I have tried many ways to be ill. I don’t wear a sweater when I should, and two days ago I walked in the rain without my shoes. But so far nothing has happened. Debbie once told me about a boy in her class who liked being away from school. He would rub the end of the thermometer（温度计） until it went up to 39℃. Then he’d put it in his mouth and his mother would think he was really ill.
This morning I tried doing that but it never went above 35℃ and I rubbed it for ten minutes. So I held the thermometer next to the light on my desk and it went up to 40℃. I thought I’d put it in my mouth and walk downstairs like that. Then my mother would take it out and she would be worried when she saw that I was rather（相当，很） ill.
The only trouble was I didn’t know the thermometer would be so hot. As soon as I put it into my mouth I burnt my tongue! I spit（吐） the thermometer out. It fell on the floor but it didn’t break.
I will have to think up a better way to get my mother and father back together.

What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years? Will many motorways be built across them? With big motorways cutting across them，full of noise ,dirty cars and trucks，our cities are going to be awful（糟糕） places．How can we solve the problem?
There are some good ideas to reduce（减少） the use of private cars．In 1971，for example，the authorities（官方） in Rome began an interesting experiment：passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets． In Stockholm（斯德哥尔摩） there was another experiment（实验）：people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus，trolley bus，train or tram all over the city．In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles（交通工具） and pedestrians are safe there．In London there is another experiment：part of the street is for buses only, so the buses can travel fast.

In America, when people say “man's best friend”, they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for “visits”.
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.
If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals who can't speak for themselves.

_________.
A. pets have the right to inherit(继承) money B. money can make pets happy C. it's the best way to spend money
D. some pets are as important to their owners as their children
57.According to the passage, scientists bring the dogs to hospital because __________. A. they are ill and they need to see the doctor B. they can make the patients happier
