阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Taking care of pets can be a great way to teach
children responsibility, but it's important to be realistic (现实的). If you're keen on bringing an
animal into your home and you've designed a plan for its proper care, here are
some choices.
FISH
Firsttime owners should consider getting coldwater
fish as no tank (鱼缸) heater is required. They should research what kinds of fish get
along in the same tank, and be aware of life expectancy-some goldfish can live up to 20 years.
RABBITS
Though rabbits, or nickname bunnies, may seem like a
lovely choice, they can live up to ten years and require an amount of care
similar to that of a dog or cat. They have their special diet needs, and often
don't behave well around small children. Each year, quite a lot of Easter
bunnies become homeless when families feel tired of them.
GUINEAPIGS (豚鼠,荷兰猪)
These small animals are ideal starter pets. Their
cages must be cleaned daily, and they require toys to keep their ever growing
teeth in check. Once they're used to the new way of life, guinea pigs need
daily exercise in a small room without cracks or holes for escape. They don't
want to be alone, but if you get two, make sure they're the same sex or they'll
have babies.
BIRDS
Fond of a fixed timetable, birds require feeding at
the same time each day. Cages should be cleaned daily and disinfected (消毒) weekly. Birds clean themselves
by bathing in dishes of water and grow in cages big enough to spread their
wings and fly a short time.
