dì liù shí wǔ kè nǐ xǐ huān y?ng chǒng wù ma? 第六十五課 你喜歡養(yǎng)寵物嗎？ Lesson sixty-five Do you like to keep pets? Many people like to keep cats, dogs or birds for fun, for the love of it or out of sympathy. For those who love animals, it is comparatively impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours or when a super-soft cat rubs against you and purrs with contentment. More and more research supports the mood-enhancing benefits of pets.
