Unit 8 Why don't you get her a scarf ? P64 The trendiest kind of pet these days is the pot-bellied pig. David Smith of North London has a pot-bellied pig named Connie. "Pot-bellied pigs make the best pets," said David. "She watches TV on the sofa with me every night. She's my best friend." However, life with a pig isn't always perfect. "When I got my pig, she was small," said David, "but she eats a lot. Now she's too big to sleep in the house, so i made her a special pig house. Also, pigs need a lot of love. Sometimes i don't have enough time to spend with her."翻译：现在最流行的宠物就是那些有个大圆肚子的猪猪了。住在伦敦北部的大卫史密斯就有这样一只名叫康妮的小猪。大卫说：“这些有个大圆肚子的猪猪绝对是最好的宠物，每天晚上它们会跟我在沙发上看电视，它们是我最好的朋友。”但是，总是有只猪跟你一起生活绝对算不上一件美事。大卫说：“每次我抓着它，总觉得它还小，但是它吃得越来越多，以至于现在都不能在房子里睡觉啦。于是我给它盖了一个特殊的家。当然，这些猪猪还是需要你付出很多爱的。有些时候我总是没有足够的时间去陪它。” P65 Everyone likes gifts. Some little kids think they don't get enough gifts. Some old people think they get too many gifts. Different people like different kinds of gifts. Some presents are never too small. A little child may give his mother a leaf from a tree. It is enough to make her very happy. Gift giving is different in different countries. In Japan, people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone else. Many people have enough things and don't want too many gifts themselves. In Canada, many people will not give big gifts to someone else. They will pay for a park bench or a tree to help remember a person. In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buy them gifts. In Sweden, doing something for someone is the best gift. People don't need to spend too much money. Instead, making a meal is enough. 翻译：每个人都喜欢礼物。一些小孩子认为他们没有得到足够的礼物。一些年纪大的人则认为他们得到了太多的礼物。不同人喜欢不同种类的礼物。一些礼物永远不会很小。一个小孩也许只是送了一片树叶给他妈妈，但那已经让她很高兴了。 在不同国家送礼物也是不一样的。在日本，人们有时候会送一些特别的礼物。但是他们不会被打开。然后，这些礼物可能又会被送到其他人手上。他们许多人觉得自己已经有足够的物品了，于是不想再收到太多礼物。在加拿大，许多人不会送他人一些大礼物。他们更愿意为了公园的长椅或是一棵树花钱，而去帮助记住一个人。在美国，一些人会叫他们的家人和朋友把钱给慈善机构，而不是给他们买礼物。在瑞典，为他人做点事情就是最好的礼物。人们没必要花太多的钱，相反，订个协议就足够啦。 希望你能满意噢。
