Chinese scholars relate that ancient Chinese communities suffered from low productivity and technology. These communities relied on the help of animals, and so they naturally revered animals and began to worship them. They created the twelve animal signs of the Chinese zodiac, called the sheng xiao. These animals are, in order, the rat, the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the ram, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig. The animals do not correspond to any astrological signs in the sky; however, they are used to divide and record time.
The twelve selected animals had important parts in the lives of the ancient Chinese. The first category of animals included tamed and domesticated livestock, such as the ox, ram, horse, pig, dog, and rooster. To the ancient Chinese, these six animals symbolized a large family. They gave good luck and well-being. The second group included wild animals that the ancient Chinese respected and feared, such as the tiger, snake, rabbit, monkey, and rat. Of these animals, the tiger was most respected for its cunning and power. The snake was viewed as wise. The rabbit was likable, and the monkey was playful. The rat was considered to be the trickster. Finally, the dragon was in a category entirely by itself as a mythical beast. The ancient Chinese accounted the dragon as the wealthiest and wisest of all. Because of this, the dragon was the most revered of all other animals.

Which of the following is the best summary of this article?
A. Some Chinese scholars say ancient communities had low productivity.
B. The Chinese calendar uses a cycle of twelve animal signs.
C. The ancient Chinese had a close relationship with animals.
D. Chinese animals can be classified in three categories

To Autumn
by John Keats

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.


Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.


Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Autumn is a beautiful season, but spring is much preferred.

Steady thy laden head across a brook; . . .
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours."

"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness . . .
Conspiring . . . how to load and bless
With fruit the vines . . .
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core."

Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;"

Passage
Having a pet is a great way to reduce stress, but the decision to care for a pet should not be taken lightly. Studies show that the simple act of petting an animal can decrease levels of stress-producing hormones in the body, which can help to lower blood pressure. Pet ownership also has psychological benefits, such as enhancing feelings of safety, independence, and control, which lead to a greater sense of relaxation. Pets make wonderful companions, but it's also important that owners ensure they have the ability to take care of their animals properly. Pets are often unable to care for themselves and must rely on their owners for food, shelter, and exercise. Owners should consider if they can properly provide a pet with these necessary things before bringing one home. Pets can be both a great joy and a big responsibility.
