The city of San Francisco, California, is known as a city for people who like food. There are many award-winning restaurants. San Franciscans also like dogs. So, Rahmi Massarweh, a dog owner and chef decided to bring his two likes together. He opened the first and only restaurant for dogs.
The restaurant is called Dogue. The name is like the word “vogue”, which means “fashion”. It opened in September in the city’s popular Mission District. Individual dishes cost around $30. Or, for $75 each, dogs can dine on a multi-course “bone appetite” meal. The special meal includes chicken cakes and raw steak with a bird egg. The price also includes a baked food and drinks for the dogs’ owners.
Massarweh left his job of running a fine dining restaurant to open his Dogue. Some people are expressing their opinions about the costly menu, which is unfriendly to people with relat
ively low incomes. But Massarweh has received some support from his customers. They are thankful to have a place to treat their furry friend. Recently, Dogue held three dog birthday parties at the same time.
Gledy Espinoza is the owner of Mason, an 11-year old dog. Mason enjoyed some mush-room soup with pieces of chicken. “I want to celebrate his birthday. He is so special to me. He is my four-legged child and this is the perfect place to do a really nice celebration. We’re foodies (美食家). I guess he is too, now,” Espinoza said.
Massarweh uses costly food materials to prepare Mason’s food. Everything he makes can be eaten safely by humans, but we probably will not like it. The dog dishes may taste very bland, or flavorless, to us. Dogue’s goal is to spread the idea of feeding dogs fresh, healthy and natural food. Some research shows that natural food may be better for a dog’s stomach than the dog food that you can buy in a store.

A．Appreciative.    B．Curious.    C．Critical.    D．Suspicious.
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

B．A Restaurant for the Homeless Dogs
C．Dogue Offering Discounted Natural Dog Food

New Orleans in 1834 was one of the busiest international port cities in the world. However, the city wasn’t just importing goods from across the world. It was also importing deadly diseases like yellow fever and smallpox. In an effort to treat these diseases and train more doctors, the Medical College of Louisiana was formed.
