61．上文“but there are some simple things that can be harmful to our pets(但是有一些简单的事情会对宠物有害)”引出话题，总述有一些简单的事情会对宠物造成伤害。下文这三段则分别讲述了三件容易伤害宠物的事情，因此文章是总分结构，空格处位于第一段，是一个总体的描述，没有提到具体的事情。选项E“它们甚至可以杀死这些宠物而许多宠物主人并没有意识到这些事的危险性”符合题意，此处they承接上一句指代some simple things。故选E。
62．根据上文“Sticks can easily break (棍子很容易折断) ”和下文“A stick can also go through a dog’s throat and get stuck there(棍子也可能穿过狗的喉咙并且卡在那)”中的also推知，空处句子也应是关于折断的棍子会对狗狗造成的伤害，G项“这些碎片会割破嘴或喉咙”符合题意，故选G。
63．空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“If you choose to feed your dog bones, only feed raw bones and always under control (如果你选择喂你的狗骨头，只能喂生骨头并且要总是能确保不会失控)”推知，下文应该提到关键词bones，选项F“和你的兽医谈谈适合你的狗吃的骨头类型”符合推测，且与上文承接自然，如果要给狗狗喂骨头，应该和兽医谈谈适合它的骨头类型。故选F。
64．根据上文“Pugs, French bulldogs, dachshunds and similar are often poor swimmers(哈巴狗、法国斗牛犬、腊肠犬和类似的品种通常是不擅长游泳的)”推知，空处指出它们不适合游泳的原因。选项B“那是因为它们的身体很重，有短腿或短鼻子”符合题意。故选B。
65．本空为这一段的开头位置，下文“To do this, get in the water with them and support them under the body until they get the hang of using all four legs to push themselves forward(要做到这一点，你可以和它们一起下水，在下面支撑着它们的身体，直到它们能用这四条腿来推动自己前进)”说明如何教会狗游泳，因此空处所填内容应与教狗游泳有关。选项D“大多数狗都需要学会如何游泳”符合题意，开启下文，下文this指代教狗狗游泳。故选D。
