  Raising pets is not a new thing in China, but recently it has taken on a new meaning.

  

  A famous Chinese saying, “wan wu sang zhi”has it that riding a hobby destroys one's will to make progress. The saying had been so popular that even today many people still consider raising pets as a hobby of the idle (游手好闲)。

  

  Things have changed much recently and now raising pets has become a popular pastime, resulting in a successful pet care industry.

  

  Pet food is sold in almost all supermarkets and many specialty stores for getting needs have been established.

  

  Animal hospitals provide various medical services for sick dogs and cats, and pet exchange fairs are held regularly. At the China International Pet Show which took place recently in Beijing, more than 100 factories from across the country exhibited their products. Thousands of dealers and pet owners went to the show.

  

  “People's swollen pockets make it possible for many to raise pets, a hobby that used to be enjoyed only by the wealthy." said Wang Wei, who works with the National Kennel Association of China.

  

  Wang Yuyan, vice president of the Small Animals Protection Association, agrees,“In many films and novels, having a pet is used as a symbol of wealth. That's not a complete picture.” Wang added that pets are friends in the real sense of the word, not just playthings.“Anyone with a loving nature can raise pets.” Still, the high cost of keeping a pet is something many people have to think about. “I like dogs and cats. But I have neither time. nor money to raise them. ”said Li Jun. in her 40' s a civil servant from Beijing.

  

  The cost of raising a dog is high in Beijing, where registration (登记)is a must for all dogs and costs 5 , 000 yuan for each animal. In addition, pet owners must pay for regular injection of Vaccines(疫苗). Most of all, dog food is quite expensive.

  

  Unlike his mother, Li Jun' s 10 -year -old son, Li Qiyu, dreams of the day he will have his own pet.“I hope I can have a dog in my house. ” he said.

  Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer.But there is one question that has millions of current answers.That question is“What's your name?”Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

  Have you ever wondered about people's names?Where do they come from?What do they mean?

  People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents.Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used.Some parents choose the name of a well-known person.A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

  Some people give their children names that mean good things.Clara means“bright”; Beatrice means“one who gives happiness”; Donald means“world ruler”; Leonard means“as brave as a lion”.

  The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names.A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪);someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road.The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

  Other early surnames came from people's occupations.The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals.In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village.Some other occupational names are:Carter-a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter-a person who made pots and pans.

  The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village.The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

  Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities.When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray.Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman.John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

  Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name.English-speaking people added –s or–son.The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert.Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O.Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
