单选题
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文14-16] Passage Two There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In some instances, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing and delicious food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, and hats for pets.   In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty dogs. On the menu, there is a variety of special tasty dishes for the dogs to choose.   Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in wealth and luxury. There is a more practical and functional attitude toward pets. People own eats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Certainly, owners generally have some affectionate feelings for their pets. However, they do not see them as equal to family members. Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do. 14.What kind of shops are mentioned in the U.S. and Europe?
