As humanity has got richer, animals’ roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and bandits meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal-combustion engine made horses unnecessary; modern sanitation kept rats in check and made cats less useful. No longer had necessities, domestic animals become luxuries. Pet keeping seems to rise in popularity when household incomes rise above roughly $5,000. It is booming.
The trend is not a new one. Archaeologists have found 10,000-year-old graves in which dogs and people are buried together. Some cultures—such as in Scandinavia, where canines have long been both working dogs and companions—have kept pets for millennia. But these days the pet-keeping urge has spread even to parts of the world which have no tradition of holding close on a

comfortable chair with a furry creature.
In parts of Asia where people used to regard the best place for man’s best friend as not the sofa but the stewing-pot, along with some seasoning, norms are changing fast. The South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, has a rescue dog, and the mayor of Seoul has promised to shut down dog butchers. In China, where dogs were once rounded up and slaughtered, traditionalists attending the annual dog meat festival in Guangxi now find themselves under attack by packs of angry animal-lovers.
The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the scraps that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet-food shelves are packed with delicacies to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion; a number of internet services offer bespoke food, tailored to the pet’s individual tastes.
People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that canines have evolved those irresistible “puppy-dog eyes” precisely to influence human emotions. The species that once enslaved others now toil to pay for the care of its pets, which rest on the sofa waiting to be taken to the grooming salon. Sentimental Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cat’s “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one further, describing themselves as cat “butlers”.
32. Where do the pets used to end up in some Asian countries? A. in the kitchen
B. on the sofa
C. in the salon
D. on the path
33. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean? A. cooked
B. fed
C. kept
D. killed
34. What does the first sentence in the fourth paragraph imply? A. It is high time that people increased the number of pets. B. Pet business should go hand in hand with the number of pets. C. People are spending more and more money on their pets. D. It is worthwhile to invest a big sum of money in pet business.
35. According to the new research, which is possible behavior of dog butlers? A. A pet butler beats “his” dog black and blue.
B. A pet butler feeds “his” dog some scraps that fall from the tables. C. A pet butler leaves “his” dog in the wild as a result of pure boredom. D. A pet butler walks “his” dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess.

Fast food has become indicative of (表明;象征)our thoughtless, consumer throw-away society. ___36___ For those who live in a fast food fantasy world, eating it every day believing that it is fast,convenient and inexpensive,it can be catastrophic(灾难性的).
Contrary to being cheap, fast food is very expensive on many levels. To start with, a home-cooked nutritious meal would cost a lot less than any fast food meal and you would know exactly what ingredients were in your food.
___37___There are hidden costs(隐形成本). Not only does it cost money to pay for the petrol to go and get this nutritionally poor food, but also it is very wasteful of paper, plastic and styrene(苯乙烯) all of which do serious damage to the environment: plastic and styrene cannot be got rid of, but break up into small particles(颗粒)and end up in our water supply or our air, and therefore our food chain. It is a very severe circle.
___38___ The more you eat, the more you want, and so, more and more kids are suffering from fatness. Fast food restaurants have become a favorite hangout for teens, and not just for something to eat. If fast food was designed to be quick and easy, why do many of them have cafes, a Wi-Fi zone and an eat-in restaurant? ___39___The goal now is trying to attract customers to stay longer and thus spend more money. Their marketing is aimed at attracting kids because they are the ones who have money to spend and are customers of the future.
___40___Through the power of the media, children, teens and adults are attracted to “fit in and be cool”, be part of the fast throw-away lifestyle it promotes. How to resist the hype(促销广告)? Just take a good look at the results on those who eat it. Then look at yourself.
A. Therefore, fast food is dangerous to your health, hard on your wallet, addictive and harmful to the environment.
B. Those are not things a person in a hurry would use. C. Teens prefer to have fast food.
D. However, the expense is not only in terms of the money you spend at the restaurant. E. Besides not being good for you, fast food is also addictive. F. Instead, we can’t avoid eating fast food because it is so delicious.
G. Yes, it may taste good to some people, but the truth is, it is terrible for health.
