William Burk, a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) , believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of
35、 protecting the public from health dangers; besides, raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition(营养)that a pet needs every day. Recognizing how popular these foods are, the FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods that contain uncooked meat for dogs, cats, and other pets.
36、 The guidelines give rules to protect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition. Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers, says Burk. Just as when preparing foods for humans, us

38、tch their pet carefully when it is eating bones. Burk also says, “If the pet eats a big piece of bone that wont pass through the digestive system(消化系统) , it could kill the pet.“（分数：8.00）(1).What does William Burk think of feeding pets on raw?（分数：2.00）A.Itll make the pet owners sick.B.Itll cause the

42、r of your eye. These are some of the huge number of bits of rock and dust that are floating around in space, called meteoroids. Normally, we cannot see them at all, but if they travel too close to the Earth, they get caught by the pull of the Earth, and begin to fall towards us. They fall faster and
43、 faster, until they hit our atmosphere(大气层), by which time they are going so fast that they begin to burn up, and all that you see is a flash of light that moves very quickly across the sky and disappears. These shooting stars, or meteors as they are properly called, are quite common, and sometimes
44、you may see several in a night. Most meteoroids are very small bits indeed, and they burn up long before they get to the Earth. However, a very few do manage to get all the way through the atmosphere, and actually fall to the ground. Usually they do not do much damage, although this is not always th
45、e case. Meteoroids that actually manage to reach the Earth are called meteorites . Most countries have places where meteorites have struck the Earth.
