Kang Sung-il buys Sancho, his Pomeranian, a toy every business trip and this lunar New Year holiday will dress him up in s new $50 suit to visit ‘grandma’, Kang’s mother. Kang and his wife say children are too expensive and bring too much pressure. Instead they have chosen to shower Sancho with love and gifts.
They are not alone. South Korea’s pet industry is booming, fuelled by the same factors that have made the country’s birth rate, at 1.05 births per woman, the lowest in the world: the high cost of education and housing as well as extremely long working days.
“Social pressures in South Korea are such that parents are required to provider resources for decades from private schooling to art classes,” said Kang a 39 year old manager of a pet funeral home.
On top of education expenses, an average an household must budget roughly 12.8 years of
income to buy a mid-range home, compared to 8.8 years in 2014, data from KB Kookmin Bank shows. Adding to their stress, south Koreans work the third most hours per year among OECD (经合组织) nations, next only to Mexico and costa Rica.
Pet-owning households have rose to 28 percent of all South Korean households in 2018, compared with 18 percent in 2012, government data shows.
That in turn has resulted in a prosperous pet care industry whose offerings include tailored pet diets and high-priced photo shoots. Pet-related startup s are also popular with venture capitalists. The south Korean pet-related industry was worth 2.7 trillion won ($2.4 billion) last year, and that could more than double in size by 2027, according to the Korean Rural Economic Institute.
1、What do the underlined words “his Pomeranian” in paragraph I refer to?
A．His son. B．His pet.
C．A toy. D．Sancho’s brother.
2、What may NOT be the result of expensive education and houses along with long working hours?
A．The birth rate in South Korean is the lowest in the world.
B．28 percent of the South Korean families raised pets in 2018.
C．There are more pet-related businesses than before.
D．Parents send their children to private schools.
3、Which of the following may be the service offered in a pet-related industry?
A．Training the pet to be a tailor. B．Showering the pet with gifts.
C．Taking pictures for customers’ pets. D．Shooting the pet with a false gun.
4、According to the passage, many people think that giving birth to a baby
A．Costs too much B．Is a must
C．Is boring D．Brings happiness

The Cardboard Box Office is a project created by Lilly and Leon Mackie, who recently moved from New Zealand to Sydney, Australia. The transfer left them with a mountain of cardboard boxes, and the arrival of their baby son Orson 10 months ago meant their social lives were “completely altered (改变.” So the couple decided to try to make some fun of the situation.
“We started after creating a one-off photo where we wanted to portray the general mess and sleep-deprivation (睡眠) that comes with being new parents,” Lilly Mackie said in an email. “People seemed to really love it and asked for more. We had a lot of weekends at home and a stockpile of cardboard so we thought ‘Why not?’ It went from there. ”
The Mackies took the first photos in September and have portrayed 14 movies so far,including their versions of “Cast Away”(or “Castababy”) and “Jurassic Park”(or “Goo-goo Gaa-gaa-rassic Park”). Even “Star Wars” gets the Mackie treatment, with Orson holding a cardboard tube in place of a saber (军刀) and mom sporting impressive Princess Leia-like hair buns ( HI made out of brown paper in the photo titled “Wah Wars.”
The family usually creates the sets on 'Saturdays and posts the whimsical pictures on their blog and Facebook page, which have almost 3,000 fans. Besides cardboard boxes, the photos feature costumes, props (道具) , and sets created out of everyday household items, toys, “and three individuals slowly losing their sense,” they joked on their blog.
Leon, a children’s book designer at a large publishing company, and Lilly, a stay-at-home mom, are both film buffs and photography fans. The baby is also becoming a connoisseur (鉴赏家) of movies and cardboard boxes.
“Orson seems to find the photo shoots quite fascinating and enjoys exploring the sets-and tearing things apart. There’s never a dull moment for him on Saturday nights,” Lilly said. “When he gets a little older, we’11 bring in a lot more of his input, asking for his ideas on films and sets. Make it a real family thing. I think he may come up with some quite funny things.”
1、The original reason why the Mackies create family movies is that______.
A．they want to earn a great deal of money
B．both of them are children’s book designers
C．they have no friends in their new community
D．they want to make their family life interesting
2、What do we know about the Mackies’ family movies?
A．They are usually made on Sundays.
B．They are not popular on the Internet.
C．Some of them are made based on famous films.
D．They are mainly about early childhood education.
3、Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “whimsical” in Paragraph 4?
A．Unusual. B．Valuable. C．Famous. D．Disgusting.
4、What's the final purpose of the Mackies' making family movies?
