21、Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation, but my head wasn’t.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮丧）. I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.
This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “I don’t need it,” I said.
However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?
There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.
I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.

22、Pet owners just like to express their love for their furry family members. Pet hotels and pet birthday cakes are just a couple of examples. The latest trend is the pet photography business to capture moments of furry friends in action.
Jessica Zhang is among the growing number of pet photographers in China. During the past few years, Zhang has taken photos of hundreds of pet dogs and cats in Beijing.
“Previously, most of my clients only asked me to photograph their pets on big days such as birthdays and anniversaries,” Zhang said. “Today, pet owners see it as a regular way to openly express their love for the family’s four-legged members. They will schedule a pet photoshoot whenever they prefer to do so.” Zhang offers both in-home and outdoor pet photoshoot services, sometimes charging over 1, 000 yuan ($155) to nearly 2,000 yuan per session.
“Fueled by the booming pet market in China, I’ve got more clients than a few years ago,” Zhang said. “Most are females born in the 1990s. I’ve taken photos of more than 30 pet cats for Christmas last year.”
A 2020 white paper from pet industry analytical company Pethadoop showed over 100 million pet dogs and cats lived in China’s urban areas in 2020, up 1.7 percent from the previous year. The pet market for dogs and cats was also worth 206.5 billion yuan in 2020.
According to the report, more than 70 percent of pet dog and cat owners were born in the 1980s and 1990s.
Such demand has spurred new business opportunities for many young portrait photography startups such as Elefoto and Naive Blue.
“The demand for pet photography is increasing,” said Chong Xiaojie, founder of Elefoto. “Unlike older generations, many young pet owners have higher standards for general quality of life. They are willing to spend money on pets and treat them as family members or close friends. Elefoto now offers pet photo services as well as family portraits with pets.

I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went.
