7. Get a pet
養一只寵物
A fuzzy animal like a cat, dog, or even a ferret makes a great companion and confers health benefits. Studies indicate that simply petting an animal reduces blood pressure, anxiety, and may actually be an effective non-medical treatment for certain forms of depression. In addition, the playful antics of a puppy or kitten and the joy of training them to perform various tricks and tasks more than makes up for any inconvenience they may cause while housebreaking.
小貓小狗或雪貂這種毛茸茸的動物都是不錯的伙伴,對人的健康很有好處。研究表明,撫摸動物能降低血壓和焦慮,是治愈某些抑郁癥狀有效的非藥物療法。而且,小狗小貓憨態可掬,訓練它們應對入室盜賊的各種把戲或任務也充滿樂趣,這些足以讓飼養它們而造成的種種不便可以忽略不計了。
If possible, choose a pet from the vast number of rescue animals in shelters around the world. You may just save a life, making you feel even happier about your choice and winning you a loyal companion you’re sure to cherish.
如果可以,就從世界各地的各大動物收容所中挑一只寵物吧。你不僅救了一條生命,還會為自己的選擇而感到開心,并且又贏得了一個值得珍惜的忠誠伙伴。
