Keeping pets lowers blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy, entertainment and loving friendship.Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin, Ned, had a parrot called Sally, and John used to visit it. When he arrived, Net used to say, “Hi, John!” We all know parrots copy what they hear. After a few visits, Sally began saying “Hi, John!” when John came into the room. Then, one day, John turned to the parrot and replied “Hi, Sally!” Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems.

While phones are still widely use for communication, a recent study has found that most students think talking on mobile phones is now old-fashioned.London University researchers surveyed 1055 young people aged 13 to 18 about their mobile phone habits. The researchers divided mobile pho ne use into “communication” and “entertainment”. Communication included talking on the phone and writing messages using texting（短信）or chatting software. Entertainment was made up of playing games, watching movies, listening to music and surfing the Internet. The findings were then compared to a2008 study, to see what changed. The results are shown below:Perhaps most surprising is how little time students spend talking on their phones these days. Six years ago the average student spent 36% of their mobile phone time making or receiving calls. In 2014, only 10% of time was used for talking. When students use their phones to communicate, more and more often it is done by using chat software like qq or we chat.“Communication is still an important function o f mobile phones. But now mobile phones are being used more for entertainment than for communication,” said Dr Harry Lectre, the research leader.21. What was the most popular mobile phone activity in 2014?_________A.
