TEXT 1: IT'S A GOOD DAY TO BE A DOG!

1 If you're in the market for gourmet dog food these days, there are a lot of options for your puppy. I mean, if you've got bills to

2 pay, you could buy a 10-kilo bag of chicken flavor for $10. But the brand Open Farm Pet offers a similar size bag of "Norwegian

3 Salmon & Ancient Grains Dog Food" for $72. It does contain not only wild salmon, but also quinoa, chia seeds and superfoods like

4 coconut oil and pumpkin.

5 Lately, every element of pet culture has changed: from food to medicine, training, travel... Dogs have come a long way since

6 the days when they were put to work on farms and given food scraps. From spending their nights in the doghouse to sleeping

7 inside on comfortable beds, they've made big progress. They get first-rate healthcare and visits to psychiatrists who prescribe

8 them antidepressants. They get massages and spa days, and wear sweaters.

9 Dogs are also much less likely to be killed these days. During the 1990s, more than 10 million dogs were euthanized in America

10 every year. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), euthanasia has fallen dramatically

11 to about 670,000 dogs per year. The overwhelming majority of shelter dogs are now adopted rather than put down.

12 The comedian Jerry Seinfeld once suggested that if aliens were watching us with telescopes and saw our interactions with

13 dogs, they might think dogs were the leaders: "If you see two life forms —one of them is making a poop, and the other is carrying

14 it for them, who would you assume is in charge?"

TEXT 2: WOMEN'S RIGHT TO VOTE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

1 It is a fact that, throughout history, there have been severe restrictions regarding human rights based on age, race, education,

2 social status and gender. During the early 20th century, men in the United Kingdom had the right to vote but women did not. Many

3 people —including many women— believed that females should not be allowed to vote. However, a group of women started to

4 campaign for women's rights, especially the right to vote. This became known as the Suffragist Movement, with two groups: the

5 Suffragists and the Suffragettes.

6 The Suffragists campaigned for votes for upper and middle-class women and believed in peaceful protest. The Suffragettes,

7 in contrast, were frustrated with the Suffragists' lack of results and created a more inclusive group in which women from all social

8 classes and races were welcomed. They began using more confrontational tactics to get people to listen. Many protesting

9 Suffragettes were arrested for law breaking and most of them went to prison.

10 In 1913, Suffragette Emily Davison stepped out in front of the King's racehorse during a race event and died tragically after

11 being trampled on. Emily's death and the cruel police treatment led to public anger, and the female cause gathered support. After

12 women's active help during World War I, no one dared to neglect their right to vote, which was approved in Parliament in 1918.

13 There is some divided opinion over the tactics the Suffragettes used to spread their message, but they paved the way for future

14 generations of women, and helped us all not only advance as a modern society but also make us aware of the importance of

15 history in our lives.
