Raising pets is not a new thing in China, but recently it has taken on a new meaning.
A famous Chinese saying, “wan wu sang zhi”has it that riding a hobby destroys one's will to make progress. The saying had been so popular that even today many people still consider raising pets as a hobby of the idle (游手好闲)。
Things have changed much recently and now raising pets has become a popular pastime, resulting in a successful pet care industry.
Pet food is sold in almost all supermarkets and many specialty stores for getting needs have been established.
Animal hospitals provide various medical services for sick dogs and cats, and pet exchange fairs are held regularly. At the China International Pet Show which took place recently in Beijing, more than 100 factories from across the country exhibited their products. Thousands of dealers and pet owners went to the show.
“People's swollen pockets make it possible for many to raise pets, a hobby that used to be enjoyed only by the wealthy." said Wang Wei, who works with the National Kennel Association of China.
Wang Yuyan, vice president of the Small Animals Protection Association, agrees,“In many films and novels, having a pet is used as a symbol of wealth. That's not a complete picture.” Wang added that pets are friends in the real sense of the word, not just playthings.“Anyone with a loving nature can raise pets.” Still, the high cost of keeping a pet is something many people have to think about. “I like dogs and cats. But I have neither time. nor money to raise them. ”said Li Jun. in her 40' s a civil servant from Beijing.
The cost of raising a dog is high in Beijing, where registration (登记)is a must for all dogs and costs 5 , 000 yuan for each animal. In addition, pet owners must pay for regular injection of Vaccines(疫苗). Most of all, dog food is quite expensive.
Unlike his mother, Li Jun' s 10 -year -old son, Li Qiyu, dreams of the day he will have his own pet.“I hope I can have a dog in my house. ” he said.

Chess-playing machines were a common feature at the 19th century carnivals(狂欢节) .They would take on all competitors and usually wan, but they were all frauds(骗局)with human beings concealed inside.
Two centuries later, the “machine” is real.
A computer programmer Deep Fritz held world champion, Vladimir Kramnik, to a 4-4 tie. In doing so, Kramnik felt just short of avenging (复仇)the 1997 defeat of his predecessor Garry Kasparov at the hands of IBM's Deep Blue.
Deep Fritz is a commercially available product produced by Germany's Chessbase Gmbh. In this match it was running on 8,900 Mhz processors and could analyze 3 million positions a second.
Kramnk admitted he found the match exhausting. “ I need some time to recover. ”he said comparing the match with his 2000 defeat of Kasparov. “The pressure is similar but preparing against a computer is much more difficult. It has all the knowledge and you have to be prepared for all openings. With a human, you know that certain openings don't suit his style and won't happen, but not with a computer. ”
“The games themselves were different,” he said, “Against a computer, you have a feeling that if you make one mistake, it's over. So it's like going through a minefield. You're always watching for tactics, even in a quiet position.”
He also said that computers play faster. “The game has a different rhythm and it puts more pressure on you.”
“The main problem, ”he said, “is that you can never understand its logic. In a human sense, it has no logic. With a human opponent, you feel him and you know what path he will take.”
Chess enthusiasts have been arguing for centuries whether it's an art, a science, a sport or something else.
Kramnik doesn't see the emergence of computers making any difference to this argument. “Chess is very wide. It's not merely these things but a small model of the world. ”
Next spring, Kramnik is scheduled to defend his title as Einstein Classical Chess World Champion against Peter Leko of Hungary. While he welcomes a rematch against Fritz, it's not certain when it will take place.
1．The difficulties of competing with the computer doesn't lie in that ________.
[ ]
A．you can never understand its logic
B．the computer plays faster
C．it has all knowledge and you have to prepare for all openings
D．if you make one mistake, it's over
2．The underlined word “exhausing” ( in Para. 5 ) means ________.
[ ]
A．making something interesting
B．making someone excited
C．making someone tired
D．making something endless
3．Put the following events in the right order:
(1) Garry Kasparov was defeated by Deep Blue .
(2)Chess-playing machines were not real.
( 3 ) After competing with Deep Fritz, Kramnik felt exhausted .
(4)Kramnik's competition with Peter Leko of Hungary.
[ ]
A．(2)-(4)-(1)-(3)
B．(2)-(1)-(3)-(4)
C．(2)-(3)-(4)-(1)
D．(1)-(A)-(3)-(2)
4．What did Kramnik think of the chess?
[ ]
A．It became more and more difficult after the chess-playing machines were invented.
B．Chess is an art, a science, a sport, etc.
C．It's more and more popular, with the computer developing.
D．Chess is a small world which is wide.
