英语阅读(3)期末复习题一、连线题(共2题，40分)Passage 1Importance of Pet Loss Therapy1 Noriko Saito (not her real name), a company employee in her early 20s, lost her beloved male dog a couple of months ago. She attended the dying dog night and day, taking a full month off from work, but the dog passed away while she was dozing. Now she still blames herself for having missed the very moment of his death. nI let him die alone5&aquot; she says. 'Tm still grieving for him. I feel as if I will never have such wonderful days as I had with him. I cannot find any meaning in life any more.”2 Housewife Yukari Matsuoka (not her real name) carries around the ashes of her cat, who died four months ago. She even brings the urn into her bed every night. nMy friends tell me to bury it in the cemetery. They say the cats soul cannot rest in peace if I keep her ashes," she says with a sigh. HBut I want to keep it for a while.”3 These women might sound eccentric or even neurotic to some readers, but their reaction is fully understandable to those who have lost someone or something special, says Tsukimi Washizu, a veterinarian and lecturer at Nippon Veterinary and Zootechnical College. In Japan, where extended families are becoming a thing of the past and people are increasingly choosing to live alone, more people are beginning to keep pets as their companions. Pets give unconditional affection and comfort to humans, but their death can also bring them unbearable grief.4 n Animals become a part of your family. It is very natural to be saddened over the death of your family/ Washizu says. "Many people, however, will consider you a little strange if you take even a single day off for your pets funeral, while theyll give you sympathy for a death in your family and allow you to take several days off from work or school.05 Washizu recently compiled a book titled "Pet no Shi, Sono Toki Anata wa (The Death of Your Pet - What Next)“ with several other specialists in the field. While many books on how to raisea and train pets have been published, this book is probably the first book on "pet loss*' aimed at ordinary pet owners in Japan, she says. The book includes such subjects as the terminal care of pets, how to deal with the remains after the death, and advice on how to cope with the loss of pets.6 The term "pet loss" came into usage in the late 70s among some veterinarians and psychotherapists in the United States and Europe. Beyond the physical loss, the term encompasses the pet owners1 psychological stress - such as grief, depression, anger, separation anxiety, guilt, sleeping and eating disorders, fatigue, sickness, transient auditory and visual hallucinations and so on.7 Although pet loss has recently become a topic in the Japanese mass media, Washizu is skeptical about the coverage. HMedia tend to sensationalize the story, focusing on only extreme cases, but it could make readers or viewers mistakenly believe thebeer on tap. 11:30 midnight. 19 Farthington St. Tel. 32341111.13 Disney Store Walt Disney's fantastic world goods boutique.

For others on the high consumer end, even though they have more income, it's become a pastime. It's fun, it's challenging and the clothes, they believe, make a fashion statement. * Rummaging through thrift shops, combing weekend flea markets and yard sales, visiting vintage fashion stores, and even surfing the Internet has become a passion for people seeking out fashion treasures on the cheap.2 Some like to think of it as frugal living - a careful or thrifty way to live, a way to protect both heir pocketbook and the environment. * With the growing concern for waste, some people feel this is one way they can do their part by recycling and reusing. In San Francisco, California, there are 1500 recycle shops, selling everything from used refrigerators to designer evening gowns. * San Diego, California, boasts more than 2,000 secondhand shops along with a quarterly newspaper called nSecond Hand News" with a readership of thousands of people. This 56-page publication contains information on store listings, shop ratings, coming events, and news of trends in recycling. People from all sectors of society read nSecond Hand NewsH to learn about whats happening in the secondhand scene. The interest is growing in the use of these shops - some drop off their goods that they no longer want or need, some come to browse and see what it's all about, others come to search for that piece of clothing that will make them stand out in a crowd.3 Recycle centers and shops originated through community service organizations such as the YMCA, Salvation Army, Good Will and church groups. One such organization, the St. Vincent De Paul in San Diego, got its start in 1948 and is still doing a booming business today. Organizations such as these offer a wide range of goods and products from used household items to baby clothes. In many urban centers these types of shops cater to the needier segment of the population.4 But as recycling became fashionable during the 1980s, individuals opened secondhand shops geared to the middle and even upper classes of society. Shops like "Michael's” in downtown San Diego, Auntie Helen's in New York, and Brother Bennie's in Los Angeles specialize in vintage clothing and accessories for both men and women. They claim to stock secondhand goods of the "finest quality" at low prices. nChoosing an evening gown at MichaeFs is almost like shopping at Harrods in London or Barney's in New York, except its a lot more exciting/1 says Gennie, a fashion model based in San Diego. nYou can choose from clothes that lots of famous people owned, and there's a seamstress right there to make adjustments. You even get the option of a full refund up to 1 1/2 hours after a purchase if you get it home and decide it's really not for you," she explains.5 The recycle craze is not just all happening in the United States, it seems to have taken much of the whole world by storm. Some people in Tokyo, Japan make their living by what they call nThrivingn: Designers hire them to shop for treasures, which then form the basis of their next fashion collection. James Ashton says he's become a professional scout. James "I go to clubs to see what the kids are wearing, then hunt down old fabric, a belt buckle or a cool sweater pattern at a flea market," he explains.HThc designer then invents a new look using the goods the scout has gathered. "Some are fashion wizards, others become famous just by copying thrift items/ says Ashton.6 In London, England, hunting for vintage clothing and jewelry has become the in thing to do. Helen, of Helen Uffner Vintage Clothing, has a huge collection of garments from 1850 through the 1970s, some of which are for sale, others she rents out for use in feature films. A number of the costumes for Out of Africa, which set off a Safari fad, came from my collection/ she exclaims. As your eye passes over the goods in her shop you can guess that a vintage shoe collector would be delighted to see her shoe collection. On the rack are a pair of 1970s Charles Jourdan platform shoes with carved wooden chunky heels and braided, yellow patent leather straps. That same chunky look was revived in 1997, a hot item in fashion circles then. Now she says, "This pair is just waiting for the right foot.7 The idea is to take fragments of the past to create an image for yourself. The look may or may not be selling in the designer boutique down the street, but you can still be satisfied knowing you've done your personal look by yourself and on the cheap to boot.Now read each of the following statements and answer either True (T) or False (F) in the space provided. Do not refer back to the reading. Allow two minutes to complete the exercise.

(1)F(2)T(3)T(4)F(5)T(6)Tmajority of people suffering from pet loss are suffering from mental disorders, " she says. nTruly serious cases are very rare. Most people can get over the loss eventually, though it might take time."8 Keiko Yamazaki, a journalist and one of the authors of nPet no Shi J agrees with Washizu. nI wonder why the media is making such a fuss about the term 'Pet Loss Syndrome/ when we don*t even have a term for spouse loss/ she says.9 Nevertheless, a general awareness is important. Yamazaki points out that very few pet specialists in Japan can properly guide troubled peat owners. In the U.S. and Europe, various forms of pet loss care support are offered. Veterinary hospitals offer counselling service for the individual or family members to come and talk with staff, who are trained to deal with grief and depression related to pet loss. Telephone counselling has also been set up. * Trained volunteers man the telephone lines for callers twenty-four hours a day in some states in the U.S., listening to their stories about their pets, and giving them advice on how to deal with death. Self-help groups have also been organized in many cities in the U.S. and Europe. People who have lost their pets meet once a week to share their grief and try to readjust to life without their pets. Books on pet bereavement and condolence cards for people who have lost their pets are also commonly sold. And although not all the people who have lost their pets are using these services, it is at least available. Veterinarian surveys report about 30 percent of pet owners in the U.S. may use these services at one time or another. Pet owners claim that it doesn't matter how many use it, the most important point is that society recognizes the grief caused by the loss of pets.10 Chifumi Yoshida, a Kawasaki-based psychotherapist, is probably the only person in this country who is offering telephone counselling service for those suffering from pet loss. Since he started the service two years ago, Yoshida has had over 400 callers. Many callers don't need to phone him more than once, because they usually feel somehow relieved after sharing their feelings. Some, he says, seem to be meantally depressed, though the percentage is very low. nIf you have difficulty leading a normal social life for longer than two or three months, you should consult with a therapist/1 Yoshida says.11 According to Yoshida, many people do tend to humanize their pets, as if they were their children, so the pet's death can impact people like the loss of a child would. Some callers openly say losing their pet caused them more grief than their parent's death, he says.12 Often other people's reactions have a great influence on recovery, Yoshida points out. Careless remarks such as nIt,s just a pet" or "You can get another one" can worsen grief and depression. Warm acceptance and compassion can help them get over the loss smoothly. Yoshida13 "After all,“ says Yoshida, "human tics, or the existence of someone who will listen to you and provide a shoulder to cry on, will heal pet loss."Directions:Read Passage 1 and match the following persons' names in the left column with their relevant descriptions in the right column.
