  Dannii Minogue, the Australian singer and actress, is a vegan.She doesn’t eat any meat, fish or dairy products.“When I was thirteen I began to find meat too fatty.I felt very sick when I ate it.So I stopped eating meat and became a vegetarian.”Four years later, Dannii stopped eating eggs, milk, and cheese because they were bad for her voice.She gave up fish too, and became a vegan.Then she started reading about factory farming-how we keep and kill animals in bad conditions.She was disgusted by what she read, “Factory farming is awful because the animals suffer so much.”She knew that her decision to become a vegan was right for the animals as well as herself.

  Brian Harvey, a singer with the group East 17, enjoys eating meat and junk food.“When I’m hungry I want a big burger, not a wet salad.I love my burgers and fried chicken takeaways.And Chinese food-if it has got meat in it.What is vegetarian food anyway?Tomatoes, crispy lettuce, green peppers, onions.No, thanks!”Brian likes animals but feels that it is natural for people to eat meat.

  Jim Green has been in China for more than two years.He has been to many interesting places in Beijing, but he has not yet been to many other parts of China.Last week he went to Mount Emei in Sichuan Province with his family.

  Many people like to travel by air, but Jim’s family think that travelling by train is the best.It is much cheaper and far more enjoyable than a rushed trip by air.They had a wonderful train ride to Chengdu before they went on to Mount Emei by bus.

  Early one morning, they took a taxi to Beijing West Railway Station.The station was very lively.There were bookshops, food shops and stores selling all kinds of things.Mrs.Green bought some fruit, food and bottles of water to take on the train.She said that it was better to get some food before they got on the train because food on the train was usually too expensive.

  The train was quite comfortable, and there weren’t too many people in their sleeping car.The Greens could stand up and walk around.It was a long journey, but none of them felt tired.They kept watching the beautiful scenery out of the window.They walked, laughed and played cards.The conductor kept coming to offer them hot water and selling them magazines.People nearby talked with each other.A young man practiced speaking English with Mr.Green.Jim thought the train was like a big moving party.He went to sleep quite late.He listened to the click of the rails and then fell fast asleep.

  When Jim woke up the next morning, the train was already near Chengdu.His train ride seemed really short, but his memory of the pleasant trip will last long.

  My phone rings a lot.But most of the time it’s not for me.It’s for my cat!Well, the caller doesn’t want to talk to my cat.He wants to talk about it.

  I called it Stoop because I found it there.I found the cat in the snow and kept it in my house.But it wouldn’t let himself be an apartment cat.In spring, he found his way to the streets of the city.How?By climbing down a tree outside my window!I wanted to make sure that it would always come home, so I bought a little collar with a tag.I wrote my phone number on it.

  And then my phone began to ring.One call was from a man whom I hadn’t seen in years.He said he stopped a cat the other day(a few days ago)and got my number.He told me that he just wanted his money back.

  Another call was from a chef(cook).He said a lot of cats took food from his kitchen and caught my cat.He asked me to pay for the cat’s supper.

  But things aren’t always bad.Late one night the phone rang.A woman’s voice shouted at me, “Come get your cat!It is chasing my cat in my house!”

  I went over to get my cat.“I am sorry,” I said.But she shut the door on both of us.Two nights later, my little cat did it again.But this time I took along a box of chocolate for the woman and a toy mouse for her cat.She liked that.She smiled.We went out to dinner together.

  She is Helen.Now my phone often rings.But I think it is for me.She often calls.When she does, she doesn’t want to talk about my cat.She wants to talk about us.
