第17期Passage1-英语听力[00:00:00]

If you are in a western country, you often see people walking [00:00:00]

their dogs. [00:00:04]

It is still true that the dog is the most useful animal in [00:00:06]

the world. [00:00:10]

However, the reason why one keeps a dog has changed. [00:00:11]

Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted to help him in [00:00:16]

the fight against other animals, [00:00:21]

and the dog listened to him and did what he told him to do. [00:00:24]

Later people used dogs for hunting other animals, [00:00:30]

and dogs did not eat what they got until their masters agreed. [00:00:35]

Dogs were also used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. [00:00:40]

But now people in towns and cities do not need dogs to fight [00:00:46]

other animals any more. [00:00:50]

Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, [00:00:53]

but the most important reason for keeping dogs is that they [00:00:57]

feel lonely in the city. [00:01:01]

For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends [00:01:04]

to play with. [00:01:08]

For a young wife, a dog is her child when she does not have[00:01:10]

her own. [00:01:14]

For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children [00:01:16]

have grown up and left. [00:01:21]

Now people do not have to use a dog, [00:01:24]

but they keep it as a friend, [00:01:27]

just like a member of the family. [00:01:30]
