风靡日本的猫咪咖啡馆——享受软绵绵的陪伴！ [en]Japan’s Cat Cafes[/en][cn]日本的猫咪咖啡馆[/cn] Times are tough with the [w]recession[/w], and Japan, being one of the hardest hit by the economic situation, has all the right ideas. Imagine a cafe in which you can simply walk in, pay a small fee of $5 to $8 for an hour of typical cafe relaxation—but with a [w]ton[/w] of cats [w=lounge]lounging[/w] around with you. Cat cafes are simply a relief to pressure and loneliness for some. Being in the company of twenty or so cats can work wonders for de-stressing. It’s said that owning pets can significantly increase one’s [w]lifespan[/w] and improve the quality of life, so spending an hour with them at your [w]leisure[/w] may have similar effects! These cat cafes are providing people quite a unique service—and they are [w=pop]popping[/w] up all over the place! At Ja La La Cafe in Tokyo, you can rent out a selection of up to 12 “professional” cats. If cats aren’t your [w]fancy[/w], you may have the option to rent out a cute [w]bunny[/w] rabbit, or even a [w]beetle[/w]. These cat cafes are most appealing to those who have pressure from frequent business trips and having no time to buy their own pets to [w]accomodate[/w] their busy lifestyles. Japan is known for its love for pets. Now there are more than 150 licensed companies in Tokyo where one can rent animals of all varieties, dogs being the most popular. People pay money to walk them, play with them, and exercise them. It’s truly a win-win-win situation: the company makes a small profit, the dogs are happy for the attention, and the people renting them out get a little [w]slice[/w] of the feeling of owning a pet. All of these creative new businesses usually have the same ideas in mind: happy customers, happy pets. Enjoy some delicious tea or coffee in the cafes, read a magazine, or simply relax and pet a cat on your lap. It’s all possible in Japan, so keep your eyes [w=peel]peeled[/w] for them if you ever travel there!  您可能还喜欢： >>《上海学生英文报》专题 >>《上海学生英文报》官方网站 >>《上海学生英文报》新浪微博 严肃声明：本系列文章由《上海学生英文报》独家授权，报社地址：上海市闵行区都市路4855号2座708室，电话：021-24175764，如无授权，请勿转载

[en]Wanting: I want nothing but music[/en][cn]曲婉婷：我只要音乐！[/cn] Wanting Qu has officially become the latest miracle of the Chinese music industry. During the past few months, her name and songs have spread quickly on the Internet, over the radio, and in almost every corner of China. You would be [w=consider]considered[/w] totally “out” if you have never [w=hear of]heard of[/w] her song You Exist in My Song (《我的歌声里》). Wanting’s music career started to [w]take off[/w] in 2009, when she caught the attention of Nettwerk, a famous Canadian music company, and became the first Chinese singer-[w]songwriter[/w] the company [w=sign]signed[/w] in 26 years.

Wanting’s [w]signature[/w] voice and ability to[w] bring out[/w] the simplest and purest beauty of piano and guitar are at the foundation of her success, yet what truly [w=set apart]sets her apart[/w] are the strength and courage with which she has pursued her music career. At only 16, Wanting left home and [w=enroll]enrolled[/w] in a Canadian school to study business, starting her life in a foreign country alone. It wasn’t long before she realized that her true passion was music. She went on to earn her degree, but also tried her hand at songwriting. She worked odd jobs to make ends meet, but never gave up her dream of being a musician. When the right [w]opportunity[/w] presented itself, she bravely introduced herself to the CEO of Nettwerk. With all the successes she has gained in China, Wanting is recording her first English album. She is ready to [w]conquer[/w] the world. 您可能还喜欢： >>《上海学生英文报》专题 >>《上海学生英文报》官方网站 >>《上海学生英文报》新浪微博 >>   沪江中小学新浪微博 严肃声明：本系列文章由《上海学生英文报》独家授权，报社地址：上海市闵行区都市路4855号2座708室，电话：021-24175764，如无授权，请勿转载
