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."

A group of boys stood around a tree. "What a tall tree!" they said to each other. "It would be exciting to climb to the top!"
The group of boys then decided to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree first. Their mothers were sitting not far away, looking on at their children as they played.
One of the climbers was an 8-year-old boy named David. He was the shortest child in the group. Nobody thought he would win.
Then the game started. All of the boys tried their best to climb as high as they could. Although the other boys climbed faster than David in the beginning, he reached the top of the tree fastest in the end.
His mother was proud (自豪的). She asked him. "David, how did you reach the top of the tree so quickly?"
"It was easy," David said. "The other children kept looking down as they climbed. When they knew how high they were, they were afraid of falling down. I, however, looked only up. When I saw how close I was, I kept going higher and higher until I reached the top."
It is true in life that if we just keep going forward without looking back, we are more likely to reach our goals (目标).
Making friends is a skill. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be w to do something. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends by staying home a.
Joining a club or a group and talking to those who like the same things as you is a much e way.

We think other people are judging us—finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the s way.
Try to be brave when you e a room full of strangers. Walk straight, look directly (直接地) at other people with a s on your face. Your smiling face means friendship.
If you see someone you'd like to speak to, say something. Don't w for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you'll make f with that person. Making friends is not so easy. It t time to develop friendship. And there are things that stop a new friendship from growing.
