1. 什么叫做好的消费方式？衡量一种消费方式好与坏的标准是什么？请结合实际简述。
回答：
A good way to spend money is a way to fulfil the buyer's desire and a way to bring the buyer long term happiness.
2. 你认为宠物消费是一种好的消费方式吗？如果是，为什么？如果不是，请说明理由。
回答：
I believe it is a good way.
Even though many consumptions for the pets are irrational, the pet owner doesn't need to know it.
3. 宠物消费都包含哪些内容？这些消费数量大吗？请结合实际简述。
回答：
The report shows that Americans spent over $61 billion on their pets in 2011, with the average household spending just over $500 on their pets during the year. That's more than the average household spent on alcohol, men's clothing, or landline telephones. The data show that pet spending hit a peak in 2008, at $571 per household, then dropped off sharply, eventually hitting $480 in 2010. However, spending on Fluffy and Spot as a share of households' total spending picked up slightly during the recession, from 0.9 percent in 2007 to 1.1 percent during the heart of the downturn in 2008 and 2009.
The Labor Department data show that Americans remained selflessly devoted to their pets during the recession, holding their spending on pet food steady through the downturn while cutting back on the luxury of eating out.
4. 一般来说，饲养宠物的人都具备哪些特点？宠物消费对他们来说负担会很大吗？请结合实际简述。
回答：
They are emotionally connected with the pets. Often the money spent on pets is burdensome. It's beyond the cost on alcohol, men's clothing.
5. 在饲养宠物的同时，他们是否会有其他方式来消费呢？请结合实际简述。
回答：
Yes. Travelling, watching movie, buying video games, etc.
