You may have seen vegetables planting on farmland, in greenhouses or even at home. But how about growing them in an Olympic Village?

Recently, it was reported that a rooftop farm covering 4,620 square meters has been created inside the Beijing Winter Olympic Village during the Olympic games. Sportsmen and coaches could try their hands at growing vegetables to relax.

China has a large number of available land for planting. For centuries, Chinese people made their living through farming. To live a better life, they took full advantage of their land and grew the food they needed, vegetables included. The Book of Songs, written 2,500 years ago, records many kinds of vegetables.

In Chinese culture, some vegetables have good meanings. You may find paintings and small objects of different vegetables in some Chinese people’s home, for example, Chinese cabbage. Because “cai” sounds like money in Chinese, it is seen as a symbol of wealth（财富）. There is also the gourd melon（葫芦）.

22、Dogs: More Than Just Pets

      A new online survey shows that the status（地位） of dogs in families is changing. Dogs are becoming more important as family members than just pets. Many people consider（认为） their dogs to be true family members. And they think of themselves to be “pet parents” rather than “pet owners”.

       Many pet dogs have their own chair, sofa or bed, and 81 percent of dog parents know their pets’ birthdays and celebrate these special days by buying them presents. Some dog parents even have a photo album for their dogs.

       What’s more, many dog owners like to talk to their dogs as if they were family members. For those people, dogs are more than just pets; they are much like their children.

       There might be two reasons behind this. First, there are fewer children in a family now; second, many people may feel lonely. Dogs can be good companions（陪伴）, so many people view and treat them as their children. That’s why many dog owners enjoy talking about their dogs all the time.
