A profound change seems to have taken place in the economic relationship between Americans and their animals. In 1993, the pet business was a $16 billion field dominated by mom and pop outfits and independent veterinarians. Today, it is a $ 23 billion empire. Nearly 60 percent of Americans live with one or more animals. More than 30 million have dogs, and 27 million have cats. While the overall number of owners has remained relatively stable since the 1980s, they are spending ever greater amounts on their animals. Signs of the boom are everywhere. On the retail side, superstore chains are covering the country. Americans consider cats and dogs a "part of the family" rather than property, which, legally, at least, they remain. (Being property themselves, for instance, animals cannot legally inherit property in wills, though A. Americans set down pets as property in their wills. B. Most lawyers own pets of one kind or another. C. People in their 20s and 30s give their priority to raising pets rather than having children. D. The number of pets in the U.S. that have insurance policies is less than 1.14 million. 查看答案 更多"{{B}}第二篇{{/B}} A profou"的相关试题: [单项选择]{{B}}第二篇{{/B}} A profound change seems to have taken place in the economic relationship between Americans and their animals.

Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons (神经元) are responsible for this processing. 　　The fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) (功能性磁振造影) brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at. 　　Like cells anywhere else in your body, active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons, and the more active a neuron is, the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain, the more active its neurons, and in turn, the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI, scientist A. The magnetic system in the brain. B. The central part of the heart. C. Oxygen-rich blood. D. Neurons in the brain. 查看答案 [单项选择] The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that 40 percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon (结肠). Different cultures are more prone to get certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates (硝酸) and nitrites (亚硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives (添加剂), caused cancer. Yet these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin(盘尼西林) to beef and poultry(家禽), and because of this, penicillin has been fou A. Because of science, most of the foods we eat today are contaminated. B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food. C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food. D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables. 查看答案 我来回答: 提交 最新试题 ●    [判断题]设备出厂检修,应进行充分置换,以防治污染物转移。 ●    [多选题]†年2月17日起实施的集团《运营事故调查处理管理规定》中指出，事故调查处理工作应重点做好（ ●    如何进行并汽操作？ ●    [单选题]主要用于表面麻醉的药物是 ●    根据布鲁姆的教学目标分类，情感领域的教学目标根据价值内化的程度可以分成( )。 ●    [多选题]《使用免费出站票登记簿》的工作要求（）。 网站地图 我要搜题网  版权所有  ©2024  湘ICP备18016427号   购买搜题卡查看答案 [会员特权] 开通VIP， 查看 全部题目答案 [会员特权] 享免全部广告特权 推荐91天 ¥36.8 ￥80元 31天 ¥20.8 ￥40元 365天 ¥88.8 ￥188元 请选择支付方式 微信支付 支付宝支付 点击支付即表示同意并接受了《购买须知》 立即支付 系统将自动为您注册账号 已有账号登录 找回账号密码 请使用微信扫码支付 订单号： 请不要关闭本页面，支付完成后请点击【支付完成】按钮 支付完成 取消支付 恭喜您，购买搜题卡成功 系统为您生成的账号密码如下： 账号 密码 重要提示：请拍照或截图保存账号密码！ 我要搜题网官网：https://www.woyaosouti.com 我已记住账号密码
