Michael was an 8-year-old student. He became ill and had to spend all day in bed at home. Because other children could not come near him, he felt sad and bored.

There wasn't much to do, so he just looked out of the window. One day, something strange happened outside the window. It was a panda eating a sandwich. The panda said "good afternoon" to Michael and then left. Michael was very surprised. He tried to find out what was going on. Suddenly, he saw a monkey playing with a ball outside his window. Next came an elephant with a watermelon in his mouth. As Michael saw more and more strange animals, he began to laugh and found it hard to stop. Everything seemed to be better and better.

Luckily, Michael's health improved, he felt better and went back to school. He told his friend Dave about all the strange things outside his window. While Michael was talking, he saw something in Dave's schoolbag. Michael asked what it was and Dave showed him. Inside the bag were many clothes that looked like animals.

    Do you have a pet? Owning a pet is becoming very common(常见的) in China these days. And pet owners are now willing to spend more money on their pets than before.

    According to a report from Goumin.com and Pet Fair Asia, Chinese people living in cities spent a total of 202.4 billion yuan on their pets in 2019. Most pet owners are people born after 1990. Most of them have high incomes and are well educated. Pet owners in China are spending more on pet food, clothing and furniture, according to report from Euro monitor International.

    Miss Hou, 28, lives in the city of Chengdu. She spent 6,000 yuan on her two cats last year. I bought tinned cat food from the United States, New Zealand, Japan and Thailand, Hou said to Xinhua. If I have time, I also cook for them, she said.

    An aging society and fewer people having children are among the main reasons for keeping pets, said Liu Xiaoxia, CEO of Goumin.com. Keeping pets has met the emotional(感情的) needs of many people. Almost 60 percent of pet owners see their animal friends as their own children, Liu said.

    Beating loneliness might be another reason. Many young people are leaving their hometowns to make a living in big cities. They are suffering(忍受) from great loneliness and pressure, as they have few friends and face a high cost of living. Keeping pets will help them feel relaxed, the 2019 Chinese Pet Industry White Paper said.

(1) How much will Chinese people living in cities spend on their pets in total in 2019?
(2) What does Miss Hou feed her pets?
(3) What is the reason for keeping pets, according to Liu Xiaoxia?
(4) According to the last paragraph, how else can keeping pets help us?
(5) What do you think of keeping pets? (言之有理即可)
