  Raising pets is not a new thing in China, but recently it has taken on a new meaning.

  

  A famous Chinese saying, “wan wu sang zhi”has it that riding a hobby destroys one's will to make progress. The saying had been so popular that even today many people still consider raising pets as a hobby of the idle (游手好閑)。

  

  Things have changed much recently and now raising pets has become a popular pastime, resulting in a successful pet care industry.

  

  Pet food is sold in almost all supermarkets and many specialty stores for getting needs have been established.

  

  Animal hospitals provide various medical services for sick dogs and cats, and pet exchange fairs are held regularly. At the China International Pet Show which took place recently in Beijing, more than 100 factories from across the country exhibited their products. Thousands of dealers and pet owners went to the show.

  

  “People's swollen pockets make it possible for many to raise pets, a hobby that used to be enjoyed only by the wealthy." said Wang Wei, who works with the National Kennel Association of China.

  

  Wang Yuyan, vice president of the Small Animals Protection Association, agrees,“In many films and novels, having a pet is used as a symbol of wealth. That's not a complete picture.” Wang added that pets are friends in the real sense of the word, not just playthings.“Anyone with a loving nature can raise pets.” Still, the high cost of keeping a pet is something many people have to think about. “I like dogs and cats. But I have neither time. nor money to raise them. ”said Li Jun. in her 40' s a civil servant from Beijing.

  

  The cost of raising a dog is high in Beijing, where registration (登記)is a must for all dogs and costs 5 , 000 yuan for each animal. In addition, pet owners must pay for regular injection of Vaccines(疫苗). Most of all, dog food is quite expensive.

  

  Unlike his mother, Li Jun' s 10 -year -old son, Li Qiyu, dreams of the day he will have his own pet.“I hope I can have a dog in my house. ” he said.

  

(1) The famous Chinese saying in this passage means ________.

  

[  ]

A.Chinese people haven' t any hobbies

  

B.small animals are enemies of the Chinese people

  

C.raising pets was popular in poor families

[  ]

A.people have all become kind - hearted

  

B.small animals have no places to live in

  

C.people's living condition is improving

  

D.more and more people are out of work

[  ]

A.has changed people' s life

  

B.has destroyed some families

  

C.has met much difficulty

  

D.has bought much business for some people

  The United States: Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight-no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID(帶照片的身份證). Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline's computer service by June 16 will get an award(獎勵). Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for 99, good anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb. 12, 2000, along with the lowest ticket prices. Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticketless crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper lovers. American, Northwest, United, and last week, US Airways have raised the cost for lost ticket replacement (替換) to 70 from either 60 or 50. The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket.

  Ben

  When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “that's that! No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago the boss said, “We're going to get a computer in the near future.” What does he mean? I simply don't know. Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes. I'm quite an expert on computers now and, you know, I actually enjoy studying.

  Evn

  I haven't much interest in studying. To be honest, I don't like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing. Just light reading, that is, to pass the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully. I'm particularly interested in current affairs. In some ways I think I learn more this way than I did at school.

  Ted

  I'm a very sort of person - I simply love doing things. That's why I enjoy sports so much. I mean, actually playing. I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it. I'm even interested in the history of sports. I don't have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing. Some people say I'm not very good at it, though.

  Joan

  I should say I have great interest in studying. I'd rather do this than anything e1se. Since I left school, I've taken courses in all sorts of things. I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it's more fun that way. My latest “craze(狂熱)” - if you can call it that - is foreign languages. I'm learning two, not one!

1.These four people are talking about what they do ________.

[  ]

A.in their free time
B.a(chǎn)t school
C.to be proud of themselves
D.to get some extra pay

2.According to what they say, which of the following is not true?

[  ]

A.Ben was pleased to leave school.

B.Eve does not spend much time in reading.

C.Ted spends a lot of time watching his favourite sport on television.

D.Joan is learning languages in the evening school.

3.Among the four people, ________ are considered to have made good use of time in studying.

[  ]

A.Ben and Eve
B.Eve and Ted
C.Ted and Joan
D.Ben and Joan
