     If you talk about a dog's life, go to Beijing to see the pampered (过分娇惯的) dogs. Dogs clipped,
dressed up, washed and dried. Here, it's the owners who go to obedience (服从) school, and these
people pay almost a thousand US dollars a month to learn how to properly care for their pets. Dogs are
hot in Beijing, a symbol of a new middle-class family.
     Dogs or pets can take the place of children, even husbands. Qin Lu, 23-year-old dog owner, certainly
thinks her dog makes some more loyal partner. She's spending 1,300 yuan, that's almost 200 US dollars
a month, sending her dog to the training school. Think about it, almost half her monthly salary as a
secretary.
     Personally, if I have a dog, I want to give it the very best of everything. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a
dog.
     Before we get too sentimental (引起伤感情绪的), though, other dogs in China have a far more
grisly (令人毛骨悚然的) fate, many still destined for the dinner table, dog meat, a popular delicacy.
But appetities are changing. What was once for the eating is now for the treating. Beijing alone is home
to more than a million dogs. Owners spend an average 25 dollars a month on pets. Do the math. Dogs
are big business. Ning Wei who runs this obedience school on the outskirts of Beijing said. "It has been
open for almost three years. There are many dogs. And now we are opening another branch."
     As their owners embrace everything western, so too, are the dogs. Ning Wei's specializing in
producing a new breed of bilingual puppies. Yes, dogs that understand Chinese and now English. "I'm
going to do a test now to see if it understands both English and Chinese. Effectively, if its Chinese is better
than my English, and its English is better than my Chinese."

If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尴尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination（歧视）.
About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment（就业） did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe（严重）.
Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories（范畴）, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
“Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone（倾向）than others.
Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate（侵犯）people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公务员) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.
