For his cat,Bob has provided a warm mat,which he can switch on by computer system if he thinks it may be a bit cold for the cat while hes out at work.And hes working on an automatic cat feeder.

Each age has its pleasures and its pains,and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents,he is fed,looked after and loved,whatever he may do.It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition,life is always presentingnew things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his pains:he is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things,or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living,he can no longer expect others to pay for his food,his clothes,his room,but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his timeplaying about in the way that he used to as a child,he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents,he may go to prison.If however,he works hard,keeps out of trouble and has good health,he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.16. According to Paragraph 2,the writer thinks that A .A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child,he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life17.
