阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
In America，when people say “man’s best friend”，they don’t mean another person. Instead，they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people， too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person(盲人)or “ears” for a deaf(耳聋)person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier，too. Because of that， they bring animals into hospitals for “visits”.
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America， you， too， can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet， take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.
If you don’t have a pet，be kind to animals around you. For example，if you see a street dog，just leave it alone， or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals， try to speak up. As people， we must protect(保护)animals who can’t speak for themselves.

Wild animals are our friends, but there are fewer and fewer of them. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes
Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the wild, down from a million 50 years ago.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi province and Shennongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 t0 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying(毁害) the environment where they live, trees and bamboos are disappearing(消失) , so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.

Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animal on land. They are grey and have long trunks (象鼻) and tusks (长牙). They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller because their living areas are used for farming; Also, people hunt them for their tusks.
