Looking for a place to take a rest, sip a cup of coffee and have a fluffy (毛茸茸的) companion Welcome to animal-themed cafes. In recent years, the combination of pets and catering (餐饮) has become incredibly popular in many cities throughout China. While many cafes started out offering the company of cats and dogs, others are expanding their range. Some cafes include animals like squirrels, raccoons and even capybaras (水豚).
In reviews, internet users have commented that one of their main reasons for visiting these businesses is to interact closely with animals they have only seen from afar.
“The customers love animals. They are curious about these pets and want to raise one at home, but circumstances don’t allow it,” said pet cafe owner Tian Xuhui.
Liu Wan, a Beijing resident who works in finance, loves pigs, but her parents would not approve of her getting one as a pet. The 24-year-old had to admire the animals through videos and images. But now, she can have a close encounter with an adorable (可爱的) pig every weekend in a pet cafe.
Also, these pet cafes serve as a haven (安全处所) for those who find comfort in being around animals. “In this place, you can get close to the cute little ones in a very comfortable way without having to worry about safety and hygiene (卫生)—overall, it is an extremely comfortable experience,” said Xiao Ou, 30, a frequent pet cafe visitor.
Animal lovers also expect the pet cafes to change people’s attitudes toward pets.
Animals like ducks, pigs and sheep have been served as food for many years. People hardly see them as pets. But the pet cafes help shift their attitude from seeing them as playthings to regarding them as family members or close friends.
“Whether at home or in stores, these little animals are there for companionship and they bring warmth to our hearts. They care and understand just like family members. They give us much more than the love we give to them,” Xiao said.

C. You can have a fluffy companion. D. All of the above.
( ) 17. What does the underlined word “expanding” mean in paragraph 1

C. become larger in size D. make the influence
( ) 18. What is the main reason for people to visit an animal-themed cafe
A. They can interact closely with animals they have only seen from afar.
B. It is a good way for people to find inner peace.
C. They can have fun.

( ) 19. What can animals do according to the passage
A. They can be used as live stocks.
B. They bring warmth to our hearts.
C. They can speak and understand just like family members.
D. They can be eaten as food.

The life has been full of challenges and difficulties. Life is not about the smartest person or the strongest person, or even the richest person. However, life is about having the mind in your heart “Never Give Up”, even when you feel that giving up is the only choice. The world is waiting on your gifts.

You are important to this world and believe it or not, someone is waiting for you to enrich their lives. You are too important to the world to just give up.
__27_______
You may feel that life is challenging you from time to time and you can't take it anymore. You may want to give up right now. But here is a thought, what will happen if you overcome the difficulties
__28_______
When an Olympic runner is in a race, he or she is focusing on one thing-the finishing line. You have to focus on the big picture-not just where you are right now. Focus in where you want to be. Make an agreement with your mind and your mouth.

One of my favorite poems is called “Crystal Stair” written by Langston Hughes. In that poem, a mother tells her son that life is tough, you will meet rocks and hard places, but the end is victory to those who stand their ground and ride the course.

三、阅读理解
A
Have you wondered what your pets are feeling When your dog wags (来回摇摆) its tail, does that mean it is happy A new app called Happy Pets can tell you what's going on.
The app uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze (分析) the facial expressions of cats and dogs. Then it can tell you what breed (品种) your pet is and how it is feeling. It can show the five most common feelings—happy, angry, neutral (中性的), sad and scared.
Researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia developed the app. The key technology used in the app is facial recognition, a common use of AI. We can unlock our mobile phones or enter train stations with facial recognition readers. But this is the first time that the tech has been used with animals.
The app's AI was first taught to recognize a picture of an animal. Then, it was taught to recognize the facial features (特征) of cats and dogs. Next came the most important step—teaching it to detect (察觉) emotions based on certain facial features. For instance, if a dog tightens up its eyes and mouth while changing the position of its ears, this means the dog is scared. To master this skill, the AI program “saw” and “read” thousands of example images.
How accurate (准确的) are the results The researchers think they are trustworthy (可靠的) since the app has been tested many times. Interestingly, they have found that cats are harder to read than dogs. In the future, the app might also be able to analyze a pet's body to make its readings more accurate.

Dear Mary，
I am happy to show you my pet cat. It is called Caihua. As you know, it is my birthday gift from my aunt. I like it very much.
Caihua is lovely and always full of energy. It likes playing with balls. It always runs around and jumps up and down to catch the balls. It seems that it will never be tired. Fish and vegetables are its favourite food. Every time after playing with balls, it eats a lot of them.
I treat Caihua as my best friend. I look after it carefully. I give it a bath four times a month. Since it always follows me wherever I walk, I often go for a walk with it in the park. I give the most care and love to it. Hope you can come and play with us.
Yours，
Lily
