Do you have a pet? Owning a pet is becoming very common(常見的) in China these days. And pet owners are now willing to spend more money on their pets than before.

According to a report from Goumin.com and Pet Fair Asia, Chinese people living in cities spent a total of 202.4 billion yuan on their pets in 2019. Most pet owners are people born after 1990. Most of them have high incomes and are well educated. Pet owners in China are spending more on pet food, clothing and furniture, according to report from Euro monitor International.

Miss Hou, 28, lives in the city of Chengdu. She spent 6,000 yuan on her two cats last year. I bought tinned cat food from the United States, New Zealand, Japan and Thailand, Hou said to Xinhua. If I have time, I also cook for them, she said.

An aging society and fewer people having children are among the main reasons for keeping pets, said Liu Xiaoxia, CEO of Goumin.com. Keeping pets has met the emotional(感情的) needs of many people. Almost 60 percent of pet owners see their animal friends as their own children, Liu said.

Beating loneliness might be another reason. Many young people are leaving their hometowns to make a living in big cities. They are suffering(忍受) from great loneliness and pressure, as they have few friends and face a high cost of living. Keeping pets will help them feel relaxed, the 2019 Chinese Pet Industry White Paper said.

____________________________________________________________________

2.What does Miss Hou feed her pets?

What inspires you to work hard? Having your own goals is important. Good sleep also helps. But as it turns out, having a plant on your desk can improve your work as well.

Mike Robinson, an engineer from Canada, owns his own small company. One day, his wife suggested picking out some plants and putting them on his workers’ desks.

Robinson doubted the idea at first. What good would plants do? He thought they might even be distracting（讓人分心的). But he decided to try out the idea.

First, Robinson bought 20 plants for his workers. He asked each worker to make a small sign that said ―My name is___ and write their own name on the sign. Then, they put the sign on the plant they chose and took it back to their desk. Soon Robinson found that his workers were working much harder and getting along much better than before. It could because his workers formed ―friendships" with their plants. They would take good care of them, and in turn, take more care with their work. Plants can help to create a relaxed atmosphere（氛圍）as well.

What about you? Does your classroom have any plants? If not, you might want to ask your teacher about this.

You and your classmates could take turns taking care of some plants in your classroom? It could be a nice way to make your classroom more lively and get to know your classmates even better.

1.The story is mainly about_______.

A.how to get inspiration for your work.

B.how having a goal helps with your work.

C.why good sleep is important for your work

D.how plants can improve your work

2.What did Robinson think of his wife’s suggestion at first?

A.His company was too small to do it.

B.He didn’t think it would be different.

C.He thought it would cost too much money.

D.He didn’t want to try it.

3.What did the workers write on their signs?

A.Robinson’s name. B.Their plant’s name.

C.Their company’s name. D.Their own names.

4.Why did the workers work harder and get along much better than before?

A.Because Robinson gave them much more money than before.

B.Because looking after plants helped them take more care with their work.

C.Because the plants helped the workers become good friends with each other.

D.Because Robinson’s wife helped create a relaxed atmosphere for the workers.
