According to the American Humane organisation (组织), more than 70 percent of teachers who have classroom pets say the animals help students learn responsibility (责任). Research also shows that classroom pets can reduce stress (压力) since they are fun to be with. But others think pets should be expelled from classrooms. In January, 2018, the Durango School District (学区) in Colorado put a ban (禁令) on class pets. Now animals can be brought into Durango schools for certain lessons, but they cant stay. Officials were worried that animals might create problems for kids with allergies (过敏反应). They also worried about whether the animals would get proper care. Heres what two students think: Schools should ban pets because students might have a hard time paying attention to the teacher when there are animals in the classroom. Also, being in a noisy classroom can be stressful for animals. Students might not know how to deal with them properly. They could drop them or feed them the wrong food. —Patrick Having classroom pets gives students a fun way to learn about animals. In my class last year, we had a bearded dragon (鬃狮蜥) named Elliot as our class pet. Our teacher also used him to teach us about different subjects. Pets also help kids learn how to work as a team. My classmates and I took turns feeding Elliot and cleaning his home. —David 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( )1. How many advantages of having class pets are mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D.
