David, an exchange student from the UK, has written an article for the paper. ┌―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――┐ ｜Do you like animals? The UK is known as a nation of animal-lovers; two｜ ｜in five UK homes have pets. This is lower than in the US, where more　｜ ｜than half of homes have pets. However, Australia has the highest　　　｜ ｜percentage of homes with pets!　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜Why is this so? Results of a survey done in Australia give us some　　｜ ｜answers.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　………………………………………………………………………………………　｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜Pet owners mention the following advantages of living with pets:　　　｜ ｜≫ The love, happiness, and friendship pets give (90%);　　　　　　　 ｜ ｜≫ The feeling of having another family member (over 60% of dog and 　｜ ｜　cat owners);　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜≫ The happy times pets bring. Most owners spend 3-4 hours with their ｜ ｜　'fur babies' every day and around half of all dog and cat owners let｜ ｜　 their pets sleep with them!　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜One disadvantage is that pets have to be cared for when owners go 　　｜ ｜away. It may be difficult to organise care for them; 25% of owners　　｜ ｜take their pets on holidays or road trips.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　………………………………………………………………………………………　｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜These results suggest that keeping pets is a good thing. On the other ｜ ｜hand, since coming to Japan, I have seen other problems such as space,｜ ｜time, and cost. Still, I know people here who are content living in 　｜ ｜small flats with pets. Recently, I heard that little pigs are becoming｜ ｜popular as pets in Japan. Some people take their pig(s) for a walk, 　｜ ｜which must be fun, but I wonder how easy it is to keep pigs inside　　｜ ｜homes.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ └―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――┘ 問１　In terms of the ratios for homes with pets, which shows the countries' ranking from [highest to lowest]?
