听力原文: If you're in a western country, you often see people walking their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. However the reason why one keeps the dog has changed. Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against the other animals. And the dog listened to him and did what he told him to do.Later people used dogs for hunting other animals. And dogs did not eat what they got untill their masters agreed. Dogs were also used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now people in towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals any more. Of course, they keep them to frighten thieves. But the most important reason for keeping dogs is that they feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he bas no friends to play with; for a young wife, a dog is her child when she does not have her own; for old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?"
True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being skinny), but a good number I could - and suddenly wanted to - change.
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.
"That's just for you," he said. "You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you've got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said about you is true you'll know it. You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice bas returned to me at many important moments.

A.Talking with her.
B.Pointing out her weak points.
C.Reporting to the teacher.
D.Quarrelling with her.
