One evening Charlie was on his way home from the railway station. When he turned round a corner, he heard footsteps behind him and he thought someone was coming near. He began to walk fast. The footsteps came fast, too. He slowed down. The footsteps also slowed down. Now he was sure that someone must be going after him. He tried to hide. Still the steps followed him. He didn't know how to save himself, so he jumped over some tall grass and hid himself in a cemetery(墓地). He threw himself down on one of tombs(坟墓).
The man behind came near. Charlie could hear the man jump over the grass. Thoughts of thieves and robbers filled his mind. Charlie stood up and faced the man. "What do you want? Why are you coming after me?" He asked.
"I say," the stranger asked, "do you always go home like this, or are you taking some special exercise tonight? I want to go to Mr. Green's and don't know the way. The station master told me to follow you as you live next door. Excuse me for asking, but is there much farther to go before we get there?"

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(友谊) 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 (盲人) or“ears”for a deaf(耳聋) 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(保护) animals who can't speak for themselves.
（ ）59.“Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!”is used to prove(证明) that .
A. pets have the right(权利) 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
（ ）60. Which of the following statements(陈述) is NOT true?
A. Dogs can help people in many ways. B. Dogs can help people live happier.

There are are some differences between Bristish English and American English. In grammar, for example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?”. Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. For example, when a learner is used to the British pronunciation [dɑ:ns] (dance), he may not understand the American pronunciation :[dæns] . There are differences between British English and American English in spelling. For example, “travelled” and “honour” are British spelling, “traveled” and “honor” are American spelling. However, in most situations, British English and American English are the same language.
