短文主要介紹了在美國有許多與狗相關的習語，并舉了一些例子。

【1】介詞短語in the United States作定語，修飾主語Many people，即美國的許多人；love和treat作并列謂語，“喜歡和善待”。故答案為：美國的許多人喜歡狗并且對它們很好。

【2】however然而；dogs without owners沒有主人的狗；live a different kind of life過著一種不同的生活。故答案為：然而，沒有主人的狗過著一種不同的生活。

【3】此處動詞means意為“意味著”；try out for表示“競爭，參加……選拔”；such as例如，表示列舉。故答案為：那意味著很多人競爭著同樣的東西，例如一份好的工作。

【4】此句是一般現在時，句型為It’s +adj. +for sb. +to do sth.表示“做某事對某人來說……”；work hard努力工作；important重要的。故答案為It’svery important for them to work hard.

【5】此句是一般現在時。in order to do sth.為了做某事，inordertosucceed為了成功（succeed是動詞）；動詞不定式可作目的狀語，to be successful為了成功（successful 是形容詞）；have to 不得不，情態(tài)動詞，后接動詞原形；something new新東西，形容詞new放在不定代詞something后面。故答案為In order to succeed/To be successful,people have to learnsomethingnew.
