Why Do Americans Keep Animals?

More than half the people in the United States keep at least one animal in their homes. They spend about 10 billion dollars a year to buy, feed and care for them. Many Americans also own larger animals such as horses. They spend about 13 billion dollars a year on them. Why? If you ask the animal owners, the answer probably would be emotional.

Scientists are looking for a more scientific answer. Much of the research is being done at the University of Pennsylvania. Scientists there have watched hundreds of people play with small animals.Some of the people were healthy, some were disabled and some were very sick. Perhaps the most important observation was the physical effect the animals had on most of the people. The animals seemed to calm the people who touched and talked to them. The human’s blood pressure actually dropped. In another study researchers followed

the progress of a group of heart attack victims. Some of the patients had animals, some did not. About 30 percent of those who did not have animals died of another heart attack within one year. 90 percent of those who had animals did not have a second heart attack.

How can animals make such a difference? Aron Catche, head of the University of Pennsylvania Research Center says scientists do not fully understand the physical interaction between humans and animals. But he says it

is clear that animals feel a basic psychological need, the need to touch. Dr. Catche says humans like other mammals, develop a sense of security through touching and holding. Those who live alone, however, or who are sick or disabled may have trouble getting close to other people. They feel they might

be criticized or rejected because of their condition. In these cases an animal can provide a better sense of security. Animals do not care if their owners are old or sick, or misshapen. They ask for little and they return kindness with loyalty. Dr. Catche says a strong relationship with an animal can give a person the strength

to survive. He says animals’help give us a sense of balance, a sense of belonging to a world which is greater than human life.

The value of time

“Time,” says the proverb “is money”. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and in crease our capacities so as to enable us to earn money. Let those, who think nothing of wasting time, remember this.

Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. Our life is a brief span measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to spent over our meals; some in traveling; Now if all these years were to be deducted from

the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal for active work. Whoever remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life.

All time is precious; but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other part of our existence. For those are the periods when alone we can acquire knowledge and develop our capacities. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to recoup the loss. Just as money laid out at interest doubles and youth trebles itself in time, so the precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, will yield us advantages.

A.it will produce some valuable piece of work

Make friends in the U.S.

It is difficult to give advice on how to get along in the United States, but the following “does” and “don’t” may be helpful.

As a rule, it isn’t easy to find anyone to talk to in a big city. How ever, here are some suggestions. First, get or borrow a dog! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to rat in a cafeteria. People generally share

the same tables and will sometimes talk to you if they see that you are a stranger. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people wait there. They often pass the time talking to the other customers. Always ask for information from a woman, if you are a man, and from a man, if you are a woman! It seems to get better results for a reason I can’t understand. Learn the expressions “Please”, “Thank you”, and “Y ou’re welcome”before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic.

There are some things you should not do. Don’t tell the truth when people ask “How are you?” They only expect the answer to be “Fine”. Never ask people their age, especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don’t tell heavy people they are fat. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone here wants to be thin. Don’t be late for appointment! When someone says six o’clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect time and expect everyone to be “on time”.
