12．　　Many pet owners see their pets as family members. However, when they have to go away on business or for some other reasons, and cannot take their pets along, they feel guilty about it and wish they could do something for their deeply loved pets. The Pet Hotel is set up especially for this reason.
　　What do we offer?
　　The Pet Hotel offers pets large rooms and the latest equipment (设备). Like other hotel rooms, we offer color TVs, suitable beds, sofas and other pieces of furniture for pets.
　　We prepare great food for the little guests, walk them at least twice a day, and provide them with all kinds of amusements (娱乐活动). In addition, we brush and clean pets. To make pets feel at home, we play the sort of music which is often played at their homes and turn the TV to the pets' favorite channels. Pets will surely feel comfortable in our hotel!
　　We also have video cameras in each room so that owners can check online twenty-four hours a day to make sure that the pets are having a good time at the hotel. We also have phones so that pet owners can call their pets and talk to them every day.
　　How much does it cost?
　　The prices change according to the size of the rooms. A regular room with standard service costs 1, 500 dollars.

13．　　How does your lunch taste? Students at the Philip's Academy Charter School in the US say their lunch tastes fresh and special.
　　From Grades 6 to 8, students in the school had to grow their own lunch. On the small farm inside their kitchen, they grew vegetables like carrots and many kinds of greens.
　　For most students, it was the first time for them to see how people make food.
　　The greens grow under lights. Each month, students from different grades come to water them. And the kitchen can get about 8 pounds (3. 6 kg) of leafy greens every three weeks. The fresh food then goes to the students.
　　"We grow it, we get it, and then it's used in the kitchen. And we're eating it for lunch, and it's fun," said Millien, 14.
　　And this project (项目) is not only good for teaching science. It also helped change students' eating habits. Catkin Flowers, 13, disliked greens before. She thought they tasted bad. However, after she grew her own vegetables, Catkin changed her mind. "I made this and I want to eat it because it's good and special for me", said Flowers.

14．　　Two children stood outside the door with old coats. "Any old papers, Lady?" asked one of them.
　　I was busy. I wanted to say no, but I saw that their shoes were broken and wet. "Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot tea." They came in, saying nothing. Their shoes left snow on the floor. I gave them tea and bread to protect them from the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again.
　　The silence in the front room surprised me. I looked in.
　　The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked me in a low voice, "Lady, are you rich?"
　　Am I rich? Oh, no! I looked at my old things in my room.
　　The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶碟) carefully. "Your cups match (匹配) your saucers."
　　They left then, holding their papers against the wind. They hadn't said thank you. They didn't need to. They had done more than that. The blue cups and saucers were simple. But they said that they matched. The potatoes and meat before me, a roof over our hands, my husband with a job﹣these things matched, too.
　　I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The prints of their small shoes were still wet on my floor. I let them be. I wanted them there to remind (提醒) me how rich I was.

15．　　Nowadays, a new way is used to decide who are the top students in school. The best students are those who not only get high marks, but also follow the rules and the behavior standards (行为标准) for middle school students. Here are some of the new rules and standards.
　　Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work in an exam?If you have, then don't do it again!That's not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents you were doing homework.
　　Learn to be loving and caring. Good students love animals and care for other people.
　　Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Did you quarrel (争吵) with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. You shouldn't only think of yourself. You should also think of others.
　　Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon?Perhaps you'll discover (发现) another earth someday. Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
　　Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. Some websites (网站) on the Internet aren't for kids, so make sure to visit the ones that are good for you. You can use the websites for fun or homework. Can't you find any good websites for children?
