Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could often see her sit by her window, sewing or reading.

After several months, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t clean her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including the windows. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?

Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”

Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

Dogs as accessories (配饰)

We like to spend time with our pets. The Queen is famous for her corgis (威尔士矮脚狗) and is often photographed with them. Nowadays some dog owners are more extreme（极端的） – a few TV celebrities even take their dogs shopping or to restaurants. Chihuahuas (吉娃娃犬) are especially popular as “handbag dogs” because they are so small. Dog holidays

People are also giving their pets holidays. Many UK hotels and holiday parks now welcome dogs as guests. What about owners who go abroad? They can leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa while they are away. Some even provide their canine (犬) guests with a TV. Dogs are for life

The British charity, Dogs Trust, finds homes for thousands of lost and homeless dogs every year. Their famous slogan（口号） “A dog is for life and not just for Christmas” was created in the 1970s to teach people about the responsibility（责任） of owning a dog. Dogs Trust told British people not to give dogs as gifts or treat them like toys. Dogs on TV

Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending（假装） to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.

But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”. Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia.

Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory（配件、附件）.

Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an edition（发布一个版本） of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s

book.

“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who love their childhood most and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.

He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.

Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.

“So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said. 34. Why does a kid wish to be an adult?

A. Because he wants to be independent（独立）.

B. Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults. C. Because he wants to experience the real world.

D. Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead. 35. What can we infer（推断） from the passage? A. Some kidults refuse to grow up.

B. Some kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.

C. Some kidults think childhood is the best time of their life. D. Some kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life 36. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that ______. A. it can make adults face the real social life B. it can make our society young and full of life C. it can increase the sales of children’s books

D. it can lead to harmonious（和谐的） relationship between adults and kids

37. Which of the following is the best title for the article? A. Kids or Grown-ups B. Happy Childhood C. Fearful Adulthood D. Kidult Culture
