SUBIECTUL II: READING COMPREHENSION 25 points

Read the following text and then decide whether the following statements are True or False.

ANIMAL LOVERS?
Over half the homes in Britain have pets and as a result, the British spend almost a
thousand million pounds a year on domestic animals. In fact, many people treat their pets like
members of the family. Pets can actually enhance our lives and health. Childless couples often
keep a pet because they need to play the role of parent to strengthen their identity as couple.
Lonely, elderly people may keep a pet, such as a cat or a dog for company or protection. Pets
have also been used in therapy to help retarded youngsters develop a sense of responsibility and
self-worth.
However, while we treat our own animals with love and devotion, do we care about the
way the society at large treat animals? In 2000, almost three million experiments on animals took
place. These included warfare experiments and the testing of drugs, cosmetics and cleaning
fluids. Animals are also slaughtered for their meat, skins and fur. In many cases, these animals
are kept in terrible conditions and are cruelly treated by private companies and governments
alike. However, thanks to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and Uncaged
(organisation which fights vivisection in the UK), there is a light at the end of the tunnel. With
slogans like “Buy a fur and slip into something dead” or brochures on the cruelty of vivisection,
these organisations are forcing consumers, private industry and governments to examine their
consciences.

1. For some people, pets are like their own children. ______
2. Pets are a danger for our health. ______
3. Lonely people need a cat for protection. ______
4. Pet therapy can help mentally handicapped children. ______
5. In Britain, experiments on animals are rare. ______
