二. 综合填空：
1. friendly。根据“be very f 1 to people”来分析，此空应填一个形容词，表明狗对人的态度。
2. children。
3. strange。狗的天性是护家。文中的watch-dogs意为“看家狗”，专门指有生人来时发出叫喊的狗。“生人”在英文中即为a strange person。
4. size。这个空略微有点难。一是size一词平时用的较少，二是一般家庭都养小型犬，供狗活动的空间一般不成问题，因此，对狗的体积问题考虑的较少。从后面的句子来看，此处是在谈狗的体积的问题－“如果你的家小，就买一只小狗；如果你的家大，就买一只大狗。”
5. yours。这是一个名词性物主代词，代替上半句的your home。此句完整的说法应是buy a small dog if your home is small and buy a bigger one if your home is larger.为避免词的重复使用，常用名词性物主代词代替前面的那个名词。
6. almost。“狗几乎什么都吃。”这一点我们从日常生活中也都知道，而且本句话的后面也进行了进一步的解释说明，“他们喜欢吃肉，米饭和其它的东西。”
7. made。这是make的过去分词，在这里与for dogs一起做定语，修饰food，整句的意思是“你可以在食品店买到许多为狗做的食物。”
8. leave。有养狗经验的同学都知道，每天一定要给狗留下供它喝的水。
9. summer。如果了解了狗的这一辈子理功能（靠舌头来散热），就不难填出summer一词。
10. exercise。从下面的句子You should take it for a walk every day. Don't keep your dog inside all day.来看，说明狗也需要运动。exercise当“运动”讲时，是一个不可数名词，不能在词尾加s。
