广西贵港市平南县2015-2016学年八年级下学期英语3月考试卷

根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

    Gail Mirabella works as a dog trainer for a circus (马戏团). She used to train her dogs to do tricks when she was a kid. Finally, her hobby turned into her job. Several days ago, she talked to Time Magazine reporter, Cameron Young, about her love for dogs.

    Reporter: Did you always want to be a dog trainer in a circus?

    Mirabella: When I was a little kid, I did my first dog show, a kid's dog show. And I took first place (第一名). From then on, I knew I wanted to work with dogs, but who would know I'd be in a circus?

    Reporter: Did you have any dogs growing up?

    Mirabella: Of course. I had a white dog when I was a little baby. Three years later, it died. And then we got two family dogs. On my fourteenth birthday, my uncle bought me a dog. It was a big dog.

    Reporter: How long does it take you to train a dog, one month, half a year or one year?

    Mirabella: That depends on the dog. I have thirteen dogs and I let them all play together, but I do a lot of special work with each dog. They know I am their owner because I do all the feeding.

    Reporter: If you aren't a dog trainer, what will you be?

    Mirabella: A dog. Just joking. I will probably still work with animals.

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."
