Some dogs are trained to perform specific tasks, such as guiding the blind, detecting drugs, or providing emotional support. One such dog is Buddy, a Labrador Retriever who has been trained to assist people with disabilities. Buddy was born in a shelter and was adopted by a training center when he was just a puppy. There, he underwent rigorous training to become a service dog. Buddy’s training included learning to open doors, pick up objects, and guide his owner through busy streets. He also learned to recognize and respond to emergency situations, such as calling for help if his owner falls down. Buddy’s owner, Sarah, is a wheelchair user who relies on Buddy for many daily tasks. Sarah says that Buddy has changed her life for the better. He has given her a sense of independence and has helped her to feel more confident in public. Buddy and Sarah have a special bond. They spend most of their time together, and Buddy is always by Sarah’s side. Sarah says that Buddy is not just a dog, but a member of her family. ( ) 31. What is Buddy trained to do? A.

They are also known for their cleanliness and grooming habits. However, cats can be very particular about their environment and may become stressed if their routine is disrupted. One common issue with cats is their tendency to scratch furniture. This can be a problem for many cat owners, but it can be managed with the right training and environmental enrichment. Providing cats with scratching posts and toys can help to reduce this behavior. Cats also have a strong sense of territory and may become aggressive if they feel their space is being invaded. This can be particularly problematic in multi-cat households. To avoid conflicts, it is important to provide each cat with its own space and resources, such as food bowls and litter boxes. Despite these challenges, cats can be wonderful pets. They are affectionate and can provide companionship and emotional support. Many cat owners find that their cats have unique personalities and can be very entertaining. ( ) 36. What is a common issue with cats? A. They are very noisy B. They scratch furniture C.
