3 . Pet owners, at least in the West, are more likely than other people to be vegans(素食主义者). That puts many of them in a difficult situation when it comes to feeding their pets like cats and dogs. But technology may soon sort it out. The idea of growing meat for human consumption, in the form of cell cultures, is now becoming popular. Some see in this approach a way to give pet owners peace of mind by offering different food. Among these forward thinkers are Shannon Falconer and Joshua Errett, the founders of Because Animals, a firm based in Philadelphia. They have taken the idea to what might be seen as its logical conclusion, for the starting point of their cultured cat food is a mouse.
One of Because Animals' competitors, Wild Earth, of Berkeley, California, which had had similar thoughts about making cat food from cultured mouse cells, chose to withdraw after finding itself on the receiving end of aggressive responses based on the misunderstanding that the production process would involve killing mice. Wild Earth has now teamed up with other developers of cultured meat to investigate the possibilities of fish and chicken cells instead. It plans to launch products made by mixing these with its existing vegan pet food recipes.
A third firm, Bond Pet Foods of Boulder, Colorado, is developing something one step yet further removed from conventional pet food. It, too, works with chickens. But instead of growing their cells directly, it is inserting genes for nutritionally important chicken proteins into cells of brewer’s yeast (啤酒酵母). These reproduce faster than chicken cells do, and nurturing them is a well-understood art. Bond hopes to have dog food containing proteins from these cells on the market by 2023.
As a consequence of their target market —devoted " pet parents" —all three firms hope to sell at good prices. Moreover, manufacturers of laboratory meat, whether intended for people or for pets, can claim green credentials (环保资质). Dr Falconer says that a kilogram of cultured meat produces just 1.7kg of carbon-dioxide emissions, compared with 27kg from the same quantity of beef.

4 . Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi – if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams – but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.
Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for Chinatown – Yaowarat Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.
1. Where can you experience local people’s life ?| A．Khao San Road. | B．Phra Kanong. |
| C．Sukhumvit. | D．Yaowarat Street. |
| A．One night is enough time to see Bangkok. |
| B．The river boat taxis often get stuck in traffic too. |
| C．Taking the Skytrain is a faster way to see the city than going by taxi. |
| D．You need to choose where to eat carefully, as not everywhere is good. |
| A．A text book. | B．A science report. |
| C．A guidebook. | D．A book review. |

Yesterday afternoon I was chatting on the phone while something made me look up. On the other sides of the street, I saw my very elderly neighbor kneeling in the grass. I hang up the phone and ran out of the house. He was taking walk, and he tripped (绊倒) on the pavement. My neighbor was very large a man that I couldn't lift her on my own, so I ran back to call my husband! Together we got him standing, and he was unable to walk. Luckily, a woman, which bicycled by, came to help. She got on a lawn chair from my front yard and we got my neighbor seating. After a few minutes' rest, we sent him home.
