Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don’t seem to mind Allan," says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. "He’s my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog. Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money. People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren’t surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance for their dog. In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Who is Allan?
27. What’s the passage mainly about?
28. What can we learn from the passage?
选项
A、Dog owners in Sweden needn’t to pay any taxes on their pets.
B、Dog owners in Sweden are greatly subsidized by government.
C、Dog owners in Sweden must pay for any damage their dog does.
D、Two thirds of people in Sweden keep pets.
答案
C
解析
选项中重复出现的Dog owners in Sweden以及needn’t to pay any taxes,pay for any damage等表明,本题与瑞典养狗人的情况有关。由短文中提到的dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does可知,养狗人必须为自己的狗所造成的一切损失买单,故答案为[C]。
