Passage 1
It is reported that Chinese spend over 202.4 billion yuan(about 28.8 billion U.S. dollars) on their pet cats and dogs in 2019, 1 18.5 percent year on year. The number of pet dogs and cats kept by urban residents(城镇居民) in China is projected to 2 nearly 100 million, an 8.4-percent increase from a year ago, according to the study on China's pet industry.
The report 3 that people born after 1990 are the main consumers(消费者), and the number of pet owners with high income(收入) and high education background is increasing. Most of them think it's fun to keep a pet, and they can relax 4 after busy work.
Ms. Hou, 28, 5 lives in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, is a pet lover. Last year she spent 6,000 yuan on two cats. “The food was the greatest expense. I bought some cat food from the United States, New Zealand, Japan and Thailand to 6 them with better food,” said Hou. “If I had time, I would cook for them with cookbooks I found online.”
“An aging(老化的) society and 7 children are among the main reasons for more Chinese to keep pets. Pet keeping has met the emotional(情感的) needs of many Chinese people. Our report shows that nearly 60% of pet owners regard their animal friends 8 their own children.” said Liu Xiaoxia, chief executive officer of Goumin.com.
Along with the income’s 9 , more and more people will keep pets, and they will spend more money on their pets. Euromonitor International expects that China’s pet consumption market will grow year by year in the 10 five years and will account(占) for more than one-eighth of the global market by 2024.

At that time, it looked 3 hundreds of thousands of little things had washed ashore(向/在岸上). “I didn’t expect to see such strange creatures on the ground.” Ford said.
“I had no 4 what they might be... it went on for two miles,” Ford said. “I walked for another half hour and they were lying everywhere. There were plenty of seagulls 5 the beach the whole way.

Ford took pictures of these creatures and searched the Internet to 7 the mystery(谜团). He found them to be worms. Ford called Bay Nature and asked the biologist to explain the strange shaped worms and 8 they were washed up on the beach.
According to the biologist Ivan Parr, the worm is a kind of fish called “the fat innkeeper worms”, and its body is very suitable for 9 underground. In a beach or mudflat, it digs a U-shaped hole with a few feet in length, but no wider than the worm itself. The hole has a front door and a back door. It just lives in it.
