21、rity（分数：35.50）十一、Section B(总题数：1，分数：71.00)More Pet Brands Target Owners Who Like to Cook Their Own Dog FoodA. Dog owners “know they“re not quite cooking“ when they mash the meat or mix it with kibble, says Scott Morris, co-founder of the Secaucus, N. J., company. “But they still feel emotionally rew

22、arded for the effort.“ That insight is driving a big shift in the way companies are designing food for the nation“s millions of dogs and cats. After years of steadily rising pet-food sales, brands are launching premium-priced products requiring humans to refrigerate, freeze, dice, heat and/or mix-in

23、 additional ingredients like meat and vegetables. B. More pet owners want to feed their dogs and cats fresh food like the stuff people eat. These pet “parents“ want to do more than dump food from a can or a bag into a bowl. They want to prepare a meal for their pet the way they would for a family me

24、mber. Companies are designing specifically for the “happy dance“ what the industry calls all the jumping, wagging, purring and pawing that hungry dogs and cats do when anticipating a meal. “That enjoyment is what the pet parent is looking for,“ says Evelia Davis, vice president of consumable merchan

29、Purina introduced Just Right, an online customizable brand that asks owners questions about their dog, including breed, age, activity level and skin condition, and then helps tailor food to the dog“s individual needs. “We built this brand based on the belief that the best nutrition is personalized,“

30、 says Brian Lester, Purina“s director of marketing for innovation. F. U. S. sales of pet food in 2013 totaled an estimated $21 billion, up 24% since 2008, according to market research firm Packaged Facts. The industry“s growth through the recession points to the close bond consumers feel with pets.

31、In a survey last year, 83% of consumers said they consider their pets part of the family. Over the next 18 months, Whole Foods Market Inc. says it plans to expand its selection of organic and animal welfare-rated pet food so the aisle looks more like one of its humanfood aisles. “We want people to k

34、th spinach, cranberries and blueberries,“ Freshpet compares its products to “a meal you“d cook for your family, using simple ingredients you recognize“. H.

37、 Several pet-food makers say natural ingredients make their recipes appealing to humans. “The gross-out factor is gone with us,“ says Mark Sapir, vice president of marketing for Merrick Pet Care Inc. The company“s canned “French Country Caf“ dog food evokes “the romance of France“ and “will have you

39、s well for the pet palate. “A lot of these natural ingredients have a good cachet about them but aren“t necessarily what a dog or cat would have any interest in eating,“ says Nancy Rawson, a director of research at AFB International, in St. Charles, Mo., which produces flavor coatings to the pet-foo

40、d industry. Behavioral analysis of dogs and cats helps Dr. Rawson determine whether flavors need to be adjusted. By examining how dogs and cats sniff, poke and eat their food, she finds out their enthusiasm or objection. Having worked to balance strong-flavored pet-food ingredients like blueberries

41、and peas, Dr. Rawson is bracing for the day when she“ll have to tackle the bitter taste of kale. “I“m sure it“s coming,“ she says.（分数：71.00）(1).Some companies pay more attention on adding variety for fear that the dogs and cats may be fed up with repetition.（分数：7.10）(2).Some people prefer using pet

45、this spring. Thanks to the sharp, late frosts of May, millions of giant Spanish slugswhich threatened to devastate plants across the countrywere killed. But now experts fear that Spanish slugswhich was first spotted in East Anglia a year agomay soon make an unwelcome return to our shores. They have

46、decided to seek public help to spot a menace which one expert described as “a disaster waiting to happen“. A group of scientists led by Dr. Ian Bedford, head of entomology (昆虫学) at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, have created a “slugwatch“ website, so people can report where and when they have seen

47、Spanish slugs. There will also be instructions on building traps to catch them. “The Spanish slug is a voracious predator. It eats crops spared by our native slugs, tolerates drier conditions, reproduces in greater numbers and even eats dead animals and excrement,“ said Bedford. “We want photos and

48、sightings from members of the public to help build a picture of how widespread the Spanish slug is. The reports may also give us an idea of whether it is breeding with native species to form a hybrid with tolerance to frosts and cold from our own species.“ The species appeared in Scandinavia a few y

49、ears ago, where they bred so quickly that squashed slugs on roads became a serious traffic hazard. Very soon, it looked as if Britain would follow suit. “In early spring, numbers of the slugs began to appear and it looked as if we were in trouble,“ said Bedford. “But the late spring frosts seemed to have killed off baby Spanish slugs and saved usfor the time being.“ Scientists stress that slugs play an important role in the ecosystem: they are natural composters, breaking down v
