期末专题06 阅读理解 2023-2024学年 仁爱版 八年级英语上册 Life can be lonely when you live alone. That’s why I decided to adopt (收养) a cat this year. But the process (过程) is more difficult than I expected. There are many abandoned (被弃养的) cats all over Beijing. Some of them are abandoned because their owners have recently had a child. Others are abandoned because their foreign owners have moved back to their home countries. And still others are abandoned simply because their owners no longer want them. Therefore, pet adoption agencies (机构) are very strict about who they allow to adopt pets. Before I could adopt a cat, I had to fill out a long application form (申请表) that included questions such as“Are you single?”and “How much money do you make each month?” But it didn’t end there after filling out the application. In the second stage,  I still had to travel to a different part of the city to see the cat in person and then talk with the adoption agency. They wanted to make sure that we could get along and I would take good care of the cat. And even then, the cat you want to adopt might be adopted by others by the time you can adopt him or her. In my case, a rescue worker adopted the cat ahead of me. But I’m glad that these cats can find good homes. And in the end, I did finally find a sweet baby cat of my own. 1．Why did the writer decide to adopt a cat? A．Because the writer lives alone and feels lonely.
