Can getting a dog help people live longer? Dog ownership is associated with a reduced risk for heart related disease and death, finds a new Swedish study published in the journal Scientific Reports.
For people living alone, owning a dog can decrease their risk of death by 33% and their risk of heart related death by 36%, when compared to single individuals without a pet, according to the study. Chances of a heart attack were also found to be 11% lower. Multi-person household owners also saw benefits, though to a lesser extent. Risk of death among these dog owners fell by 11% and their chances of heart-related death were 15% lower. But their risk of a heart attack was not reduced by owning a dog.
As a single dog owner, an individual is the only person walking and interacting with their pet, which may contribute to greater protection from heart-related disease and death, said the study. "We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity. which could be one explanation to the observe results, " said Fall, author of the study. The findings also suggest increased social well-being and immune system development as additional reasons why dog ownership offers protection against heart-related disease and death.
Fall believes that while their study provides strong evidence for the health benefits of dogs, their work is not done yet, since it does not answer why dogs achieve these results. There are also other factors that still need to be considered, such as the owner's personality and general physical health and activity.
While the research was carried out in Sweden. Fall does believe it may also apply to other countries including the US, since people's attitudes toward dog care are similar. However, some factors that may affect the results are the differences in climate and socioeconomic backgrounds. "We have a colder climate so we have indoor dogs where owners take their dogs out for a walk, In warmer climates, they could keep them in the yard and won't have to actively take them for a walk. I think it would be hard to take the data from Sweden and apply it to the US since we have a more different population. More studies should be obtained in the United States, " said Fall.
32. Why does the writer ask a question at the beginning of the passage?
A. To express his doubt. B. To get the correct answer.
C. To test readers' knowledge . D. To introduce the topic.
33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. The benefits of raising dogs for single people.
B. The disadvantages of raising animals for their owners.
C. The figures the writer provides to support the research.
D. The importance of owning pets for all kinds of people.
34. What is the finding of the new study?
A. Walking and interacting with pets contributes to their owners' health.
B. Single individuals without a pet have a lower risk of heart-related death.
C. The pet owner's personality and activity have little to do with his/her health.
D. Keeping dogs can help owners free from cancer and heart-related disease.
35. What can we know from Fall's words?
A. The research carried out in Sweden may apply to all countries.
B. Warmer climates make it unnecessary for dog owners to walk them.
C. There is no need to do more research in the United States.
D. Climate and socioeconomic backgrounds may influence the research.

What makes a home? Love, sympathy and confidence. It is a place where kindly affections exist among all the members of the family. The parents take good care of their children, and the children are interested in the activities of their parents. Thus all of them are bound together by affection, and they find their home the happiest place in the world.
But for me, sometimes I can't feel the love from my mother and can't feel the warmth of the home Quarrels happen between us frequently.
"Bang!" The door caused a protest. "Never set foot in this house again!" shouted Mom. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.
A young mother who held a child in her arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood: happy and harmonious.
But then I didn't know whether it was because I had grown up or because Mom was getting old. We were just like two people coming from two different worlds. It felt like there was an iron door between us that could never be opened.
I wandered in the street, without a destination in my mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. After wandering aimlessly in the street for hours, I felt really hungry and wanted something to eat However. with no money in hand, I could do nothing but weep and sigh. A grandma, who was a snack seller at the roadside noticed me and said, "Little girl, hungry, huh? Here is a bowl of noodles for you. Take it and go home quickly. "With grateful tears hanging in my eyes, I accepted the noodles and kept expressing my gratitude. "Thank you so much! I will appreciate it all my life!" The grandma said sincerely. "You don't need to thank me. I am just a stranger who gave you a bowl of noodles, but your mother cooks for you all her life without any complaint. Have you ever said 'Thank you' to her?" Hearing this. I stood there, numb with shock.
