初中英语牛津七年级上 Module 4 Unit 2

1 I love Sam. He's a good pet.

He is fun and he is a good friend.

Do you remember when we first saw him?

Yes. We went to speak to the SPCA inspector at the SPCA kennels.

Sam was in a big, clean cage with his mother and her puppies.

2 We rescued this dog and her puppies from a farm in the New Town.

They had no food or drink, so they were very hungry and thirsty.

Nobody looked after them.

3 Which one would you like?

I prefer the black one.

I like the brown one best.

I prefer the light brown one.

I like the black and white one best.

4 The black and white one likes you!

Yes! We want the black and white puppy.

Let's call him Sam. Now, you must look after him well.

You must bring him to our clinic if he is sick.

Here is a booklet.

It tells you how to look after your new puppy.

A visit to the SPCA.

1 What does SPCA mean? What does the SPCA do?

2 Good morning, children！Thank you for coming to visit the SPCA.

This morning, I am going to tell you about the SPCA.

What does SPCA mean?

It means the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

It means we try to keep animals from danger.

We protect them from some people and from accidents.

The SPCA cares for animals in many countries. SPCA inspectors rescue hundreds of animals in danger every year. Sometimes people do not look after animals. Sometimes people are cruel to animals. People should be kind to animals. These dogs would drown if SPCA inspectors did not rescue them. This cat would die if SPCA inspectors did not rescue it. The SPCA helps animals to find new homes. People can come to the SPCA and choose a pet. They must promise to look after their new dog or cat well. All pets need a lot of love and care. This dog needs a new home. An SPCA inspector found this cat and her kittens in the street. They need a new home, too. The SPCA has special clinics for sick animals. A vet(a special doctor for animals) takes care of sick animals.
