And 71 per cent of 18 to 24-year-old dog owners said they relied more on their computer.

They found that male dog owners are almost twice as likely as female owners to rely on their computer than a canine④ companion.;Mr. Allen said, “With broadband bringing them global news and newspaper sales falling, the family dog even misses out on the pleasure of taking the paper to his owner.” But its not all bad news for obedient⑤dogs. “The family PC has given dog owners access to a wealth of resources and information that can help with the long-term care that a dog needs，” Mr. Allen said.; Notes： ①overtake [??v?teIk] vt.压倒 ②rely on 依靠；依赖 ③confess [k?nfes] vt.vi承认 ④canine [keInaIn] adj.狗的 ⑤obedient [?bi?dj?nt] adj.驯良的;Read the passage carefully and judge the following sentences true(T) or false(F)． 1.
