When Zhu Yun bought her dogs five years ago, she spent nearly half of her money raising dogs each month. Every month, she spends nearly 7,000 yuan on pet food and snacks, pet clothing and taking her seven-year-old poodle (鬟毛狗) and five-year-old Yorkshire terrier (约克郡犬) on holidays. "I take them to go on a trip twice a month, and during each Spring Festival, I take them to Shanghai," said Zhu. She also pays some photographers to take photos of her pets. This costs her 3,000 yuan each time.

People like Zhu are making the pet market grow. Pet shops now sell things like food and water bowls. They also sell lifestyle things such as pet wine, pet milk tea and pet clothes. There are even some smart robots for dogs and cats. That's because people's ideas about pets change. Most people from the post-90s generation (90后) are from one-child families, so people feel lonely sometimes. For this reason, their pets are like their family members. This is why people like to spend more money on their pets today.

Hu Min had a dog when she studied in Australia. She said, "Years ago, my parents kept dogs to watch and protect their homes. But today, dogs don't play such a role (角色). They are like our family. Some even sleep in the same bed with their owners. I want to buy different kinds of things for my dog. I think my pet Taffee's life should be as colorful as mine."

 阅读下列短文,然后从后面各小题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入文中空缺处的最佳选项。

A man lived happily in a village because everyone praised him.

One day, he happened to hear some people talking about him.1 what they said made him sad. They said he was too proud. From then on, whenever he heard others2 , he thought they were saying something bad about him. He was 3 all the time. His wife noticed this and took him to a wise old man.

The wise old man said, "Stay in my house tonight. "

The man 4 . When he went to sleep at night, the croaking(呱呱叫声) of frogs fell in his 5 . A pool was behind his room. The more he wanted to ignore(忽略) the sound, the6 the frogs seemed to croak.

The next morning, the man told the wise old man, "I couldn't sleep well last night. It felt like there were  7 of frogs in that pool. You must also have trouble because of them. Can I take them8 and put them far away?"

The wise old man agreed.

To the man's9 , only ten frogs were caught.

The wise old man said, "Even at night there were only ten frogs. Because you paid too much10 to the noise, you thought there were hundreds of them. It is the same in your life as well. There's no need to care too much about others' talks. Be true to yourself. "
