         Why do 33% of the households in the USA have cats? And how do you explain why there are 16
    million more pet cats than dogs? Yes, kittens are adorable (讨人喜欢的).Yes, they can grow up to be
    good mousers and are very entertaining to watch.And yes, cats are independent and don't require as
    much care as dogs.But research shows cats can also be caretakers for us and our families, improve our
    health and teach us and our children to be kinder, gentler souls.
         Theodora Wesselman is 94 and has lived the past two years with her elderly cat, Cleo, at TigerPlace,
    a retirement community in Columbia, Mo.Their enduring friendship is a classic example of how humans
    and animals can become family and look out for each other.
         Wesselman visits other residents, and her children stop by, but Cleo is her best friend, she says.
    They've been together nearly 21 years.
         "She sleeps on her own pillow right beside mine," Wesselman says."In the morning, she pecks on my
    cheek to wake me up.It's really sweet.I pet her, tell her I love her and take her to the kitchen to prepare
    her food."
         Research shows that being able to care for a pet improves our morale (士气;精神状态), helps
    validate us and encourages us to take care of ourselves, says Rebecca Johnson, director of the
    University of Missouri's Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction.The body of research is leading
    more retirement communities and universities to roll out the welcome mat for pets.

    3. Why does the author take 94-year-old Theodora Wesselman as an example in the passage?
    A. To show that the elderly like Theodora Wesselman in the USA have pet cats.
    B. To suggest to what degree humans and pet cats can be caretakers for each other.

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
