Tom goes everywhere with Catherine Green, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don't seem to mind Tom," says Catherine, who thinks he is wonderful. "He's my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.
Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to offer health and even life premium for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
1.The money paid as dog taxes is used to ________.
A. provide medical care for dogs
B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. keep a high level of care for the people
D. buy insurance for dog owners
2.The underlined world "premium" possibly means ________.
A. entertainment expenseB. medical check
C. payment for risksD. protection fee
3.If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?
A. The government.
B. The owner of the car.
C. The insurance company.
D. The owner of the dog.
4.From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden ________.
A. people care much about dogs
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. dogs are welcome in public places
