I think it is good that many families keep animals　1.　pets. Unfortunately, some people do not take good care of their pets. Some do not feed their pets enough so they become　2.　. Others do not give their pets a good place to　3.　in and the animals can get too hot or too cold. There are also a few people who　4.　their pets. I feel this is wrong. People should not treat their pets badly.

The government of the UK is thinking of 　5.　to help protect pets – it’s about time! It wants a set of instructions on 　6.　 to take care of different kinds of animals. The instructions would　7.　 explain how to keep animals happy! That is good news for pets, don’t you think so?

The UK government also wants to create some 　8.　‘pet police(政策)’. They can go to people’s homes to check whether they are taking care of their pets　9.　. If they find someone treating an animal badly, they can take the animal　10.　. People who hurt their pets can even go to jail(监狱). I hope more people will now try to take better care of their pets.

 

Food or friends? Lip salve (润唇膏) or iPod? What is the most important thing in the US teenagers’ lives today? Let’s take a look.
Some find that they can’t do without people.
“My biggest need is my friends. Without them, I wouldn’t do much,” said Adrian Fernandez, a 14-year-old boy.
With others, food always comes first.
“I do not think that I could live without chili con carne (辣子肉丁). I eat it every day. And if I didn’t have it, it’s all I would think about,” said Max Wu, an 8th-grade boy.
Sometimes, the things teenagers can’t do without are strange.
Take 14-year-old girl Hannah Sacchini for example. “I cannot live without lip salve, especially in winter,” said Hannah Sacchini. “I go mad if my lips get dry.”
Of course, today everybody uses mobile phones and computers. Some teens can’t live without these high-tech (高科技的) things.
Justin Beck, a 15-year-old boy, feels like this: “I would not be able to live without my iPod. I use it for so many different things. I always have it with me,” he said.
So, now we know the things US kids really must have. What about you and your classmates? What can’t you live without?
