Pats can rest on soft rugs(小地毯), watch television and get to know some new friends while their masters have fun in the
24、city.The American Dog and Cat Hotel opened officially on a Wednesday in March. There is everything a pet could want - and more.“We hear time and time again. This is so nice, Id like to stay here. ” the hotel manager said in an interview. He believed that people would want for their pets what they wa
25、nted for themselves.Kennels(狗舍) have been around for a long time, but nowadays masters want to put their loved pets in some better places, he added.He said the cats and dogs like to watch images on TV although they may not understand them.

30、ew medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Todays leading killers, such as heart diseases, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memory. In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these d
31、ays. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond
32、120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.

37、ls.CAvocados are large, heavy, dark green fruits that are usually shaped like pears. The riper they get, the softer they get. People eat avocados in salads and sandwiches.

Stick four tooth-picks around the middle of the seed. 2Fill the jar almost to the top with water that is just slightly warm. Rest the toothpicks on the top of the jar. The more pointed end of the s
39、eed should be in the water while the flatter end should face upward.3After that, you will have to wait for three or four weeks. During that time, be sure to add just enough water to replace the water that evaporates into the air. The bottom of the seed should always be just below the waters surface.
40、 The thin brown skin that covers the seed will crack(破裂) open. Roots will start growing out of the bottom of the seed. Leaves will start growing at the top.4When the roots are about three inches long, fill a flowerpot with soil and plant the seed. Make sure that the seed is completely covered by soi

Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than
46、 any other way. Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout (电子打印输出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for abo

87、 to their liking. Without advertisements, people might have to grope in the dark. As far as I am concerned, I seek information from advertisements, but I dont trust them so much. Sometimes the products are not really like what the advertisements claim them to be. And I never buy a product just because an advertisement says that a famous football player or a movie star like it.w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m13 / 13
