26、 Like humans, pets need a special diet for them to grow and develop properly. Nothing can replace a fresh, healthy diet when it comes to improving health and guarding your pets away from diseases.
Byproducts (副产品) are widely criticized and often misunderstood in pet food. Organ meats such as liver and kidneys are considered disgusting to eat for humans, but this byproduct doesn’t mean it’s poor quality. It may be unpalatable for you, but they provide proteins, minerals, vitamins, and so on. So don’t avoid and try to incorporate pet food that contains byproducts.
Many brands have been providing quality diets for years that have been scientifically proven. When it comes to pet food, expensive food doesn’t always mean higher quality. You should research what you’re feeding your pet. It will be a lot better to choose a top rated cat food than a new expensive brand. Trusting and reading reviews and ratings of other pet owners may come in handy for you.
Home-cooked meal for your pet is fine, as long as you do it correctly and properly. You can consult with your veterinarian, or nutritionist to make sure that you are preparing a pet appropriate and nutritionally balanced meal. This will also help your pets avoid health problems caused by eating foods that have low amounts of vitamins and minerals. If cooking is not an easy task for you, then you can buy prepared meals from a pet kitchen. These will ensure you are feeding them a balanced meal fit for their specific nutritional needs.
Finding the right nutritional diet for your pet will come down to a balance between your trust in a brand, your beliefs, cost, and most importantly, whether your pet likes it. Speaking to your veterinarian or experts about your pet s dietary needs before selecting a diet will be beneficial.

27、Dear Charlotte,
For the first time in my life, I'm making a really good income, and so is my husband. We could be saving a lot more, but instead we spend it on fun vacations and nice clothing. I went from a ten-year-old Japanese car to a Tesla, and a thrift-store(二手店)handbag to a super-nice one from France. I feel like 've become a new person I don't recognize. How can I go back to being someone who's fine with thrift-store items, instead of this one with a perfect house filed with nice things that don't matter?
I understand why you miss your old life. It feels good to live simply and to work toward larger financial goals. The problem, it seems, is that you never really imagined the life you'd lead once you actually had money to spare.
I doubt you may also be feeling a little bit lonely. Studies have found that transitioning to a higher socioeconomic class can make you lonely because it moves people away from familiar social circles and into unfamiliar ones.
It's also tough to talk about-having big money isn't exactly a “problem", nor a situation that most people can relate to.
I suggest an exercise: Write down everything you spend your money on, every day, for a couple of weeks. Then look at your list and focus on the things that felt worthwhile and satisfying. In doing this exercise, you'll probably find that spending money on experiences, especially ones that strengthen your relationships, makes you happier than buying items.
It sounds like you feel sorry. That's normal. I don't mean that you should feel bad about having money. Instead, it's good to be aware that you've been lucky-plenty of people never get to see the fruits of their work in the same way that you have. Amanda Clayman, a financial adviser, recommends gratitude exercises. "When you focus more on what you have, it helps you stay focused on what's important to you, instead of what you're missing," she says.
While your new life may seem unrecognizable, that doesn't mean you've lost the goal and drive that got you there—you just need to learn to redirect them.
【1】Why does the woman write to Charlotte?
A.She dreamed of buying expensive things.
B.She felt uncomfortable with a thrift store.
C.She doesn't feel great after becoming rich.
D.She has changed beyond recognition.
【2】In Charlotte' s opinion,what makes the woman lonely?
A.Her small social circles.
B.Her new financial position.
C.Her not-so-good relationship with new friends.
D.Her family's move to an unfamiliar place.
【3】Why does Charlotte suggest the woman record her own spending?
A.To let her see what is meaningful to her.
B.To encourage her to be a careful person.
C.To remind her to value her hard-earned money.
D.To make her spend money improving her relationships.
【4】What does Charlotte expect the woman to do?
A.Reflect on her behavior.
B.Appreciate what she has.
C.Work towards a more specific goal.
D.Understand those not as successful as her.
28、Have you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Birds, especially seagulls(海鸥) are very fond of locusts(蝗虫), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe(成熟的), locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves, bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks(树皮) of trees.
An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus,it has existed(存活)up to now though it is not powerful at all.
【1】This passage mainly talks about ______.
A. the change of colour in locusts
B. the protective colouration of animals and pests
C. how a certain sea fish protects itself
D. animals or pests can dye themselves different colours
【2】The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because ______.
A. their enemies can easily find them and eat them
B. they have the habit of coming out in darkness
C. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness
D. birds take their rests when night comes
【3】What does the word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Can’t be seen B. Can be seen
C. Can’t move D. Can’t change
