The saying has been so popular that even today many people still consider raising pets as a hobby of the idle.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 special stores for pet needs have been set up.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.“Peoples 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, agreed. “In many films and novels, having a pet is used as a symbol of wealth. Thats not a complete picture.” Wang added that pets are friends in a real sense of the world, 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 40s, a civil servant from Beijing.The cost of raising a dog is high in Beijing, where registration 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 Juns 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.41. Things have changed much recently, because _.A. people have all become kind-heartedB. small animals have no places to live inC. peoples living conditions are improvingD. more and more people are out of work42. In big cities in China today, raising pets _.A. has changed peoples life B. has destroyed some familiesC. has met much difficultyD. has brought much business for some people43.

Low or no parking fees would be used as economic leverage to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.Car owners living in the suburbs will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the citys traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometre downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 percent of the citys total area.The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hour every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.According to the communication commission, half of the citys investment in transportation will go towards public transit construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 percent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.The current layout of Beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial centre, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.52. In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to _.A. take buses or subwaysB. take a taxiC. drive the car quicklyD. park his car in a place which asks for no fees53. According to this passage, while more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to _.A. save timeB. cause traffic jamsC. cause traffic accidentsD. reduce air pollution54. The aim in building new city centers is to _.A. make it convenient for people to go shoppingB. develop its local resourcesC. reduce the traffic flow to the downtownD. solve the problem of more laid-off workers55. The passage suggests the author _.A. is tired of driving to workB. finds it costs less to take subways than to driveC. is for the plan to reduce Beijings traffic congestionD. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every dayEWhen should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teachers affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic (having difficulty in reading).Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read ( if badly done it could put them off reading for life ), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by lab
