1. (2023高一上·山东开学考)  听材料，回答问题。

I'm thinking about getting a pet. Can you give me some advice?<br />How much time can you spend looking after your pet?<br />I'm really busy, so I can't feed a dog. I don't have time to walk it every day.<br />You are right.<br />Actually, I don't want a pet with long hair, like a cat or a dog.<br />I don't want a pet that could be dangerous either, like a spider or a snake.<br />How about ants? They are easy to look after.<br />Come here and have a look. You only need to put the ants into a glass box.<br />The box is filled with special soil, so you don't need to feed them.<br />The most interesting part is that you can watch the ants digging roads in the soil.<br />It sounds good. Do you sell both the ants and the box?<br />Yes.<br />How many ants should I get, at least?<br />Eight, at least. They can live three to six months.<br />Thanks a lot. I will find out more online and come here next week.<br />That's fine.<br />I'm thinking about getting a pet.
