Can you imagine a two-week holiday for a dog that costs RMB 500,000?! Believe it or not, there will be lucky dogs enjoying the most luxurious (奢侈的) holiday of all time — and it costs £ 47,000, if on sale.

Britain’s most luxurious dog hotel — The Paw Seasons Hotel — provides this kind of holiday for dogs     16    . Let’s see why this holiday costs that much.

The moment the dog enters the hotel, the amazing holiday begins. The dog’s suite (套房) is decorated in the way     17     his owner’s house. Thus the lucky dog will not get     18     by a new place. The suite also includes a screen showing favorite doggie films such as Lassie and 101 Dalmatians, and dog-friendly popcorn is provided all the time. Speaking of food, every meal for the dog is made by a personal cook serving him only. There will even be clothes for the dog designed by Louis Vuitton and other famous designers.

If you think that is all, you will be more     19     now. Before the dog is offered a spa treatment, a famous athlete will take the pet for runs. Surfing, board games and swimming are also part of this luxurious holiday.

The pet owner, of course, will not be left aside. During the holiday, the dog’s owner will be given updates (信息更新) about his dog’s condition (情况), so that the owner can also share the enjoyment of his beloved pet. After the whole holiday ends, the owner will receive a painting of the dog and a DVD recording all the exciting     20     of the holiday.

The luxurious holiday for lucky dogs sounds     21    , doesn’t it? Will you take your pet to that hotel, too?

Christmas is only a few days away. Tom and the two children of the family are very excited.

Their mother has already made a colorful Christmas tree and a large Christmas cake. Tomorrow she will take them out shopping in the High Street. She is going to buy them new clothes for Christmas.

People usually give each other presents at Christmas. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have already bought presents for their children.

They will give them their parcels on Christmas morning. Tom and Irene have presents for their parents, too. Their eldest brother Jimmy is working in another country. They have already posted him a Christmas card. A few weeks ago, their parents posted Jimmy a parcel so that he would receive it before Christmas.

Why do newspapers carry so many advertisements for electronic equipment? Last Sunday I c    47     advertisements for seven kinds of televisions and thirteen kinds of radios in the News Express. B    48     that, there were pages and pages of advertisements for radios and tape recorders.

Don’t you realize what electronic equipment is doing to our d    49     life? Everywhere you go you may hear loud music and advertisements over radios: this noise is ruining our ears. Children ruin their eyes with hours of watching not only the programs for children but also those for grown-ups. Husbands don’t talk to wives any more and they are a    50     watching the news or a ball game. And even w    51    , hidden microphones find out more about our private lives, and computers k    52     records of personal information about us. Enough is enough! I think you should limit the a    53     of advertising of electronic equipment in the News Express. Otherwise it will make life terrible for us all.
