Passage 1
Humanlike animal behavior has a striking effect. Dogs and eats
bolster our morale and make us feel special, because they offer us intense
loyalty and do not criticize us. (66) Many
people need a caring role in order to feel that they matter, and pets make them
feel needed. No matter what arrangements the humans in your life may have made
for themselves, if you have a pet there is always someone who will miss you if
you do not come home tonight. Taking in a pet can help children to
have a greater sense of a contributing role in the family if they take
responsibility for the pet’s care. Similarly, a dog or cat can help parents
whose children have grown up and left home — it can be an antidote to the "empty
nest syndrome". (67) Better self-esteem from
pet ownership and having someone to care for are of benefit to the lonely. Pets
also combat the understimulation that lonely people suffer. (68)

[简答题]The Englishman has been called a political animal, and he values what is political and practical so much that ideas easily become objects of dislike in his eyes, and thinkers, miscreants, because practice is everything, a free play of the mind is nothing. The notion of the free play of mind upon all subjects being a pleasure in itself, being an object of desire, being an essential provider of elements without which a nation’s spirit, whatever compensations it may have for them, must in the long run, die of emptiness, hardly enters into an Englishman’s thoughts. It is noticeable that the word curiosity, which in other languages is used in a good sense, to mean, as a high and fine quality of man’s nature, just this disinterested love of a play of the mind on all subjects, for its own sake—it is noticeable, I say, that this word has in our language no sense of the kind, no sense but a rather bad and disparaging one.
