There, he played in the Italian League, and soccer was also not a big deal to him. He returned to Philadelphia with his family in 1991. He made his way into NBA as a high school student. Later, he served Los Angeles Lakers until the last minute of his basketball career. Throughout his career, he was not that lucky. He broke his knee and tore his Achilles tendon.

Dogs are human’s best friends, and we all know that if there’s a piece of cake in front of them, they won’t just leave it but eat it right away! However, this is not the case of cats. Cats might be curious about cakes, yet they won’t have it. Why not?

When we take in something sweet, it breaks down into tiny small parts. They move across our tongue and reach the sugar receptor. Later, a message will be sent to our brain. It tells our brain there is sugar in our body, and we taste sweetness. We need this ability to help ourselves survive because most of time, sweet-tasting food are safe. As for cats, they are carnivores, and most of time their main dish is made up of meat. This might be why they lost the ability to taste sweetness through the history. According to the scientists, cat’s sugar receptors are broken, and they are not passed on to their offspring. All cat species possess this trait.

Although you might see cats eat sweets, it’s not because they like sweet food. They may just be attracted by some smell or nutrients in the food. Never expect your cat to enjoy cakes as much as you can!

To who it may concern,

Yesterday, I traveled to Taipei with my family and planned to spend three nights in your hotel. But, after the first night, we still felt very tired because of some reasons. Here they are. First, we found the bed wasn’t clean because my daughter was bothered by rashes after sleeping on it, and she couldn’t stop scratching. Also, the pillows were a little bit smelly. Second, we were always woken up by the guests next door. They seemed to have a party in their room until very late. It was so noisy that we couldn’t sleep well. Next, as I wanted to take a hot bath to help myself sleep better, I found the water wasn’t hot at all! So I gave up and didn’t sleep all night. I tried to contact your counter but failed. That’s why I wrote this email to let you know the bad experience. I hope you would improve these as soon as you can because we still have two days to stay.
