More and more people like keeping pets, so pet hospitals are usually very busy. Kind persons who love animals are needed to provide help in busy pet hospitals. Those vets (兽医) will teach them how to take care of the pets.

    Scientists think that pets will probably be much smaller because people in the future will live in much smaller space. Scientists are now working on making very small farm animals. The same thing might be done to make small cats and dogs.

    It's said that one day you might own a panther (豹) as a pet. Some scientists believe that they might have to start turning wild animals into pets since this might be the only way to save them from dying out.

    What about buying a robot to be a pet? This may sound silly, buy it could become true. Robot dogs have been made to sell. They are like real dogs. These pets might become more and more popular in the future.

    Lots of people want pets while they are on holidays. A hotel in Minnesota has solved this problem. They lend cats to their guests. Many experts (专家) believe that this idea will become more and more popular. It is very possible that in the future you will be able to order a pet, as well as room service, at a hotel.

If you look around your city，you might see girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T﹣shirts with Chinese characters on the streets.A new trend in China—guochao，or "China﹣chic" is popular with young people.

Zhang Lingling，a video maker，holds a party with her friends every month.At the party，all the people wear hanfu and sing songs with traditional instruments.And these songs are based on ancient poems. "I'm really interested in clothes，songs and games based on traditional culture.I'm buying the items just because they satisfy my esthetic （审美） needs，" she told China Daily.Like Zhang，there are many young people fond of traditional Chinese culture.A report by Bilibili in February showed that over 177 million of the platform's users loved videos full of traditional culture.

Looking for the reason behind guochao，Ji Fangfang，a professor of Social Sciences，said， "It's because traditional culture is the best way to tell our national identity （身份）." No matter how the guochao trend develops，people always keep positive toward the country's development. "It also shows our growing confidence in national culture." said Yao Linqing，a professor in Communication University of China.

This is an old story. One day, a man was not happy when his 7- year- old daughter made a box with some paper. The family didn't have much money. So the father thought his daughter wasted the paper. The next day, the little girl gave the box to her father and said," Dad, today is your birthday. This box is for you."

The man was happy. But he was upset when he found there was nothing in the box." Why didn't you put anything for me in the box?" He asked his daughter. The little girl looked at him and cried," Dad, I put my love in the box. It's all for you!"

The man felt moved and said sorry to his daughter. Sometimes, we can't see love with our eyes.

Listening is one of the basic skills. Good communication always starts with good listening. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Ask Good Questions

When someone comes to you with a problem, it is natural for you to give them advice. However, instead of giving advice, asking good questions is more important. This can show that you are interested in what people are telling you.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Avoid too much Nodding

Nodding while listening to people shows that you are listening carefully. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If you nod too much, it may make people feel uncomfortable as they may think you are just trying to agree with everything.

You also need to be patient while people are speaking. It is rude to speak while others are still talking. Even if you want the speaker to explain something for you, please wait until they finish their part.

Follow Up

To show your further concern about people, you can go beyond just listening to them. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} It is an act that shows your care and support.
