问题     Have you ever been bitten? Of course you have. You are surrounded by living things which might, or do, bite. Even when you rest your head on your pillow, bedbugs are probably nibbling you. They live happily inside
    Take a walk outside and you are a target for " man’s best friend". Hundreds of dog-bite victims visit US emergency rooms daily. Many bites are terrible. To avoid the dogs in your neighborhood, you might want to hike into the desert or the woods. There, you run the risk of bites from rattlesnakes, scorpions, and blood-sucking ticks, not to mention bears, wolves, and mountain lions.
    Speaking of housing, watch out when you touch the corner of your house. Shy but deadly, the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider make themselves comfortable in quiet areas of your closets. One bite from either of them can make you very sick, and occasionally, people may die from such bites. Unfortunately, many people fear all spiders, not just the few dangerous ones. People often squash them or run away from them at first sight, not realizing that most spiders are actually beneficial to man.
    If you’re concerned about bites, don’t forget about rabid (患狂犬病的) animal bites. Any warm-blooded animal can get infected with rabies. Although humans in the US rarely get attacked by rabid animals, the disease is painful and dangerous. You will most likely die if you are not treated properly within 48 hours after being bitten.
According to the second paragraph, "man’s best friend" is________.

选项 A、bedbugs
B、dogs
C、wolves
D、scorpions

答案B

解析 根据第二段前两句“Take a walk outside and you are a target for " man’s best friend". Hundreds of dog-bite victims visit US emergency rooms daily. ”可知,在外面散步时,你就成了“人类最好的朋友”的目标;在美国每天都有数百名被狗咬伤的受害者来到急诊室。由此可推知,“人类最好的朋友”指的是狗。故选B。
