Welcome to my blog

Stephen Williams Friday, June 21

Today I went to the beach. It was my first day at the ocean for many years. The sound and smell of the ocean brought back memories of the great family vacations when I was a child. We always went to the beach for a week in the summer. I remembered playing for hours in the sand with my sister and crying when I couldn’t have any ice cream. Oh, and I remembered finding a huge jellyfish on the beach, and running away because I was scared! Amazing, really, the things you remember from your childhood…

Comments

Yeah, I remember going for long walks in the countryside. I guess I was only eight or nine. In the winter, my mom made soup, and I can still remember the wonderful smell! When we got home, I always went straight to sleep…

Carla, Mexico

What a great story! I remember going to the beach, too – on Christmas Day! My family lived in Australia when I was young. I remember waking up early. After we opened our presents, we always went to the beach and had a barbecue.

Leung, Hong Kong

The best memory I have is playing my first video game, Super Mario. I remember thinking that it was amazing, It was my tenth birthday and I still remember opening the box.

Cat cafes to open in Toronto and Montreal

THESTAR，TORONTO

Soon, people in Toronto may be able to enjoy a hot chocolate or a coffee in a "cat cafe". Two groups of people in the city are trying to raise enough money to open cat cafes.

The idea is simple： a cafe for humans一with lots of cats around. People will be able to pet the cats while they're sipping their coffee. There are already cat cafes in places like England, France and in Asia like in Japan, South Korea and China.

Jennifer Morozowich plans to open her Kitty Cat Cafe in September. She told The Toronto Star that it will have six to fifteen cats. Morozowich is a cat lover who says that cats help to reduce people's pressure（壓力）．She is also planning to hold special "Litter-ature" events, with the Dundas West Animal Hospital, at her cafe, with kids reading to the cats.

Some experts（專(zhuān)家）say that reading to animals helps kids learn to read better because animals enjoy hearing the human voice and kids don’t have to feel worried about making mistakes while they're reading.

Another cat cafe, Pet Me Meow, will be open in autumn if Ashkan Rahimi and Jeff Ro have their way. They are trying to raise money to open a place where cats will live, and[people can come in and buy a coffee and hang out with the cats.

Both sets of possible tale owners will have to make sure their cafes are very clean. The City of Toronto has many rules that people have to follow who want to serve food to humans when there are animals nearby. For example, the animal boxes need to be in a separate space away from the eating area.

The cafe owners will get the cats from rescue shelters（救護(hù)所）．If the coffee drinkers fall in love with a certain cat, they may be able to take it home.

The Toronto cat rates won't be Canada's first. Happy Cat Cafe, is opening in July in Montreal.

1.The underlined word "sipping" in the second paragraph probably means“ ”·

A. selling B. getting C. drinking D. making

2.According to the passage, Jennifer Morozowich

A. is a star from Toronto B. likes cats very much

C. has a cat cafe now D. lives under much pressure

3.We can learn from the passage that

A. reading to cats may help kids make fewer mistakes

4.The passage might be

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容和所給中文提示，在空白處寫(xiě)出單詞的正確形式．每空限填一詞．
