D.Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（12%)

This week,my dog of almost 14 years died. What I lost was not just a pet dog. She was so much more than that. I don't even remember my life without her.

My dog only cost $40. She was among hundreds of dogs at Philadelphia's Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) . PAWS is the largest animal shelter in my city. It is also a "no-kill" shelter.Many other shelters,however,are unable to be "no-kill"because of the large number of animals they have. Nearly sixty percent of dogs that enter these shelters end up being euthanized (meaning＂killed in a peaceful way")

This number could be lowered if more people decided to adopt an animal rather than purchasing one. When you adopt a pet from a shelter,you are not only giving your chosen animal a loving home. You are also saving the lives of many others as you help to free up space for them.

Adopting an animal is much cheaper than buying one. Since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out,many people have had lower incomes than usual. More people have turned to adopting dogs.The idea behind the adoption of a dog is good. However,some animal shelters are worried that after the pandemic is over,some of these new pet owners might become,busy again and no longer have time to care for their animals. These animals might end up back on the streets and in the end being put down. So before you take in an animal,think about why you want to do so. Do you truly love it,or do you just want to save money?

I like to think back to when I adopted my dog almost 14 years ago. I'm proud that I gave her the life she deserved. Pets can make wonderful additions to our lives. However,almost any pet,including those without a large price tag,can do this. We should never allow man's best friend to be let down by a system that kills because there is no room.
