APet owners are being encouraged to take their animals to work, a move scientists say can be god for productivity, workplace morale (士气), and the well-being of animals.A study found that 25% of Australian women would like to keep an office pet. Sue Chaseling of Petcare information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets. "On the pets" side, they are not left on their own and won"t feel lonely and unhappy," she said. A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有益的), while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington."My customers love them. they are their favorites," she said."They are not troublesome.

Busy Life for PetsBuster Brown was a thief and a good one too, he thought. He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances. He was always prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency.Confidently, he stood outside the house of his planned victim(受害者)and read the sign on the front gate of the house. “Don’t worry about the dog — be aware of the owner!” it said. Buster smiled and found his way in.The house looked quite normal outside, but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. As he began putting them into his bag, a dog came into the room. It stopped when it saw Buster, then went over to him, licking his hand. “Good boy,” Buster whispered. “What a great guard dog you are — trying to lick(舔) me to death.” Satisfied he’d made friends with the dog, Bluster began to wander round the house, choosing items to put in his bag. His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques(古董): a pair of silver candleholders, a silver tea-and-coffee service, etc. His new friend, the dog, sat and watched, as if wondering what was happening.“Well, boy,” Buster spoke softly, finally. “That might do. Any more and I won’t be able to carry it!” He swung the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He protected his eyes with his hand.“You’re a very silly person,” the figure in the doorway said, his voice dry and dust. As the man came closer, Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn’t quite place where he had seen him before.“You should have taken more notice of the sign outside,” the man said. “I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of the world’s greatest fortune-teller!”24.

She began writing early in life, although the prejudices(偏见) of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously(匿名).But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath’s many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets an d public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen’s Bath can be increased by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen’s time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related(相关的)books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen’s Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.28.

But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their elder son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk,”said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”Before age 11, children li ke to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.32. “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son ______.A. is always busy with his studiesB. doesn’t want to be disturbed (打扰)C. keeps himself away from his parentsD. begins to dislike his parents33.
