53、ppier, and messages in media and advertising strengthen these beliefs. But is there really a universal “ pet effect” on human mental and physical health?According to Harold Herzog, Professor of Psychology at the Western Carolina University, there simply isnt strong evidence showing that living with

In a new article, to be published in the August issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, Herzog argues that existing research on pet ownership has produced very conflicting resul

While some studies suggest that owning a pet is associated with positive health outcomes like reduced rates of depression ( 抑郁症)or lower blood pressure, other studies suggest that pet owners are no better off and may even be worse off in some ways, than people who dont own pets. The reason for t

56、hese, Herzog says, is that studies on pet ownership often suffer from problems, such as lack of appropriate control groups (控制组)and reliance on self-report to measure participants health and well-being. Herzog admits that he himself is a pet owner and pet lover. “I m not trying to denigrate (贬低)the

57、role of animals in human life. Im trying to do just the opposite,” he says. “Its entirely reasonable that our pets really do provide medical and psychological benefits, but we just dont know how strong that effect is and what types of people it works for”. Herzog notes that Americans with Disabiliti

58、es Act had to be changed in order to clarify the fact that only trained dogs and small horses that perform a specific service function could legally qualify as service animals. Herzog points our that the scientific community is starting to take these issues seriously,. In2008, the National Institute

59、s of Health began a program to fund studies that examine the medical and psychological benefits of pets on children Herzog is encouraged that psychological scientists are really becoming involved in this research: “I think in five years were going to have some answers to our questions”. 67Why does t

60、he author mention the question in paragraph I? ATo introduce the topic for discussion. BTo compare different ideas. CTo describe peoples opinions of pets DTo express the authors doubts. 68What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? APet owners. BConflicting results CHealt

61、h outcomes DStudies on pet ownership69Which of the following statements might Herzog agree with? AOnce trained , dogs and horses can work as service animals. BResearchers generally hold the same view on pet ownership. CIt makes no sense that pets provide medical and psychological effects.DHuman-pet
