My name is Linda Green. I"m a member of a large company which has many sections. There are two men in important positions in my office - Mr. Thompson and Mr. White. Everyone enjoys working with Mr. Thompson, but no one likes Mr. White. Mr. Thompson is always kind and patient. When he wants something done, he"ll ask. "Would you mind getting this information for me, please?"" Mr. White is just the opposite. He usually shouts across the room, "Get me the papers, and hurry up." But Mr. White surprised us this morning. At first we thought he must be sick. He was kind and polite. "Miss Erickson," he asked, " if it isn"t too much trouble for you, could you please make these telephone calls for me?" June Erickson was too surprised to say a word. Right after that, Mr. White said, "Miss Reed, would you be so kind as to open the window? It"s quite warm in here." Then he turned to me, "I"d appreciate very much if you"d mail these letters for me." We couldn"t imagine why he was behaving so strangely.Should We give him some medicine? Or should we send him to the hospital? The situation was soon cleared up. "Ladies," Mr. Thompson said, "I"ve been told that the president(总裁) of our company will be here soon.

Anyone who has a dog as a pet will tell you why the dog is called "man"s best friend". "They are loyal, funny and loving. They seldom complain and always o 1 their owners," said Mary Smith of Washington D.C. Doctors will also tell you that people who have dogs seem to be happier and healthier than those who live a 2 . One reason for this is that people with dogs lead more active lives. Who can say no to a lovely dog when he pulls on your arm and asks yon to take him for a walk? Dogs are really amazing animals. They not only offer emotional (情感的) support but also p 3 great help for humans. Think about guide dogs for blind people, or dogs that help people in wheelchairs. However, it is the emotional side of owning a dog that has been studied in detail by Dr Julie Davis of Chicago University. "B 4 every dog lover there is a story," says Dr. Davis. "Why do people love their dogs so much? if you hear their stories, it"s not difficult to understand why. " Dr. Davis has studied the r 5 between dogs and people for the last ten years. "I have spoken to people in parks, pet stores, and veterinary (兽医的) offices, as well as stopping people in the street. I have interviewed office workers and farmers, policemen and construction workers," says Dr Davis. "E 6 wants to talk about their dogs. Many people said they cried much more when their dogs died than when their parents did. They said the sadness was much d 7 . People are finding animals are more reliable than human beings. People tell me all the time that they get more emotional support from their dogs than they do from their husbands or wives." |
