In ancient Egypt, people kept not only cats and dogs but also unusual pets like crocodiles and elephants. They believed cats had magical powers that could bring good luck. During the Middle Ages, pets were mostly for the rich. Kings and queens kept lapdogs and hunting dogs, and some even gave their pets servants. Common people rarely kept pets for fun. From the 1700s to the early 1900s, pets became more common in homes. People kept birds, frogs, and even snakes, though cats still stayed outside most of the time. This changed in the early 20th century when cats became popular house pets. A famous example of this change is Rin Tin Tin, a dog found by an American soldier in France during World War I. The dog learned tricks, starred in nearly 30 films, and became one of the most famous dogs in history. Today, pets are treated like family members. Dogs, cats, hamsters, and goldfish are all common pets. People keep them for companionship, fun, and even to reduce stress. The way we treat pets has changed a lot, but one thing remains the same: the special bond between humans and animals. 1. What did ancient Egyptians believe about cats? A. They could bring good luck. B. They were symbols of wealth. C. They could talk to humans. D. They were only for the rich. 2. During the Middle Ages, common people rarely kept pets because __________. A. pets were too expensive B. pets were only for fun C. they didn’t have time to care for them D. pets were dangerous 3. When did cats become common house pets? A. In ancient Egypt B. During the Middle Ages C. In the early 20th century D. During World War I 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Dogs are the most popular pets in history. B. The role of pets has changed over thousands of years. C. Ancient people kept more unusual pets than modern people. D. Famous pets like Rin Tin Tin changed history. 四、完形填空（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，共 10 分） 阅读短文，掌握其大意，然后从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。 Keeping pets has a long history.
