Cat cafes to open in Toronto and Montreal
THESTAR，TORONTO
Soon, people in Toronto may be able to enjoy a hot chocolate or a coffee in a "cat cafe". Two groups of people in the city are trying to raise enough money to open cat cafes.
The idea is simple： a cafe for humans一with lots of cats around. People will be able to pet the cats while they're sipping their coffee. There are already cat cafes in places like England, France and in Asia like in Japan, South Korea and China.
Jennifer Morozowich plans to open her Kitty Cat Cafe in September. She told The Toronto Star that it will have six to fifteen cats. Morozowich is a cat lover who says that cats help to reduce people's pressure（压力）．She is also planning to hold special "Litter-ature" events, with the Dundas West Animal Hospital, at her cafe, with kids reading to the cats.
Some experts（专家）say that reading to animals helps kids learn to read better because animals enjoy hearing the human voice and kids don’t have to feel worried about making mistakes while they're reading.
Another cat cafe, Pet Me Meow, will be open in autumn if Ashkan Rahimi and Jeff Ro have their way. They are trying to raise money to open a place where cats will live, and[people can come in and buy a coffee and hang out with the cats.
Both sets of possible tale owners will have to make sure their cafes are very clean. The City of Toronto has many rules that people have to follow who want to serve food to humans when there are animals nearby. For example, the animal boxes need to be in a separate space away from the eating area.
The cafe owners will get the cats from rescue shelters（救护所）．If the coffee drinkers fall in love with a certain cat, they may be able to take it home.
The Toronto cat rates won't be Canada's first. Happy Cat Cafe, is opening in July in Montreal.

Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10—month—old sister became alone. Anyway, my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I decided to do some drawing. Soon I gave up. Nothing was on TV, so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelp…I had an idea! What would happen if I see fire to some kitchen paper? Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn’t the tiny flame(火箭)I’d expected, and I couldn’t blow it out. I threw it on the floor, and then luckily got my dad’s boots(靴子)and stamped it out.
I thought I was safe until there was a HCGE hole in my room. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it. However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole. Next I was grounded(关禁闭)and in trouble for months. Even though, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.How old was the writer when he wrote the passage?
