    It seems that a family just isn't complete (完整的) without a pet. But if pets aren't suitable to a family's lifestyle or environment, they can quickly lead to problems such as stress or arguments (争执). To save yourself and your family such problems, treat this decision seriously. When choosing a pet, people must consider the family's health. Many people are allergic (过敏的) to cats and dogs. Perhaps a dog or cat with short hair will be fine. And a dog might not be the best choice for a child who is naughty (顽皮的) because the dog might bite him or her. Some people can also have problems with certain pets. It's a good idea to spend a little time with the pet around each member of the family before making your decision. Consider the quality of life of the pet, too. If a pet is used to having space to run around, it can quickly develop psychological (心理的) problems when it is kept in a small flat all day. If pets are allowed to run about in areas with lots of traffic, they can meet an early end. Cats shouldn't be brought into homes that already have large dogs because they won't be able to get along well with each other.

    The decision as to what kind of pet to choose is very important. If you find the right one to suit (适合) everyone in the family and their lifestyle, then it's time to choose one. Remember that your decision is important because it can have effects that last for many years.

爸爸教我读中国诗

程怡

    ①十个月的时候,我得了一场可怕的脑膜炎,到了一岁半还不会说话,父母非常担心。一天,爸爸看报,我坐在他的膝上,指着某一个标题中的“上”字,爸爸说:“上?”我对他表示满意,赶紧从他的膝上爬下来,拽着他走到书箱前,得意洋洋地指着书箱外“函上”的“上”字,表明我认识这个字,这件事对父母而言,真是“上上大吉”!他们不再担心我有智力障碍了。之后,爸爸开始教我读诗。

    ②爸爸常教我念两个人的诗:一个是杜甫,一个是陆游。

    ③依稀记得,孩提时的一个夏夜,我困极了,趴在爸爸的膝上,爸爸摇着大蒲扇,满天的星斗朦朦胧胧的。“僵卧孤村不自哀,尚思为国戍轮台……”突然,爸爸那江西乡音很重的诵读声使我睁开了眼睛,我不知道那奇特的吟啸中有什么,但我一下子记住了这首诗。

    ④上学前我已经会背那首《示儿》:“死去元知万事空,但悲不见九州同。王师北定中原日,家祭无忘告乃翁。”爸爸问我懂不懂最后那句,我很得意地嚷嚷说:“那意思就是烧香磕头的时候别忘了告诉你爸爸!”当时,爸爸高兴得眼泪都流出来了。

    ⑤1959年秋,我上小学。那年冬天,爸妈因故很长时间不能住在家。姐姐是长女,照顾我和弟弟。一天晚上,爸爸出乎意料地出现在我们面前,令我们欢天喜地,难以入眠。躺在床上跟爸爸念杜甫的诗:“遥怜小儿女,未解忆长安。”爸爸问我懂不懂这句诗,我说:“我懂的,不过,爸爸想念我们的时候,我们也想念爸爸的。”爸爸不再说话,只是听我继续背他教我的诗。

    ⑥爸爸生命的最后几年,完全卧床不起。每当德沃夏克的大提琴协奏曲悲鸣的旋律在蕉影婆娑的窗边响起的时候,爸爸就会喃喃吟诵杜甫的诗。他告诉我,那一刻让他想起了故乡老宅,想起了祖母和母亲。

    ⑦那时我已在大学教中国古代文学,我理解父亲:人生无非家国之情,杜甫、陆游,我父亲他们这一代的知识分子,对家国,都有一种深情。父亲吟诗的声音,永远留在了我心底。

    ⑧很多年后,我看见报上某篇文章引了一首绝句,感觉就像遇到了一个老熟人。我没有念过那首诗,但我熟悉那种风格。回来一查,果然是陆游的诗,“征车已驾晨窗白,残烛依然伴客愁。”我当时的感受真是难以名状。爸爸在我童年时便种在我生命里的东西,突然宣告了它的无可移易的存在!(有删改)
