Ⅱ.阅读理解
In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda V ale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruir.
“We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We're just saying that we need to think about and
know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and manufacturing a dog's food takes about 0.84 hectares—or 1.1 hectares in the ca of a large dog such as a German shepherd.
Convincing flesh-eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non-starter, the V ales say. Instead they recommend keeping “greener”，smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits.
The book's playful title, and rious suggestion that pet animals may be ufully “recycled”，by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.
Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resources, Robert V ale said.
“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket，” he said.
“It's about much more challenging and difficult issues，” he added. “Once you e where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourlf.”
16. The authors gave their book the playful title to ________.
A. make it amusing
B. create a vivid image
C. show writing skills
D. arou people's concern

A. the amount of consumed land
B. the neglected ecological impact
C. some familiar examples
D. some actual figures八下英语单词
