Will it be cats, cars, beautiful women in swimsuits or Elvis? (2/2)

For pet lovers, there are calendars with pictures of cats doing unusual things. Three hundred sixty-five of them - one for each day of the year. Calendars of dogs wearing clothes. And calendars of beautiful women in swimming suits, not wearing much at all.

Would you rather look at pictures of cars? There are calendars with those, too. For busy mothers, there is a magneticcalendar to hang on the wall. There are even calendars for children who can draw the pictures themselves.

Some people do not just look at their calendars. They use them to write down important things they must remember, like meetings or doctor's appointments. Busy people can buy small calendars to carry around to help them organize and plan their life.

But what if they forget to look at their calendar? Do not worry, there are electronic organizers that make sounds to remind people of things they must do. These days, if you forget something, it is getting harder and harder to find a good excuse. Some people do not like little calendars, or big ones, or noisy electronic ones. They are happy just to write down notes to themselves on small pieces of paper. The smaller the better, usually.

参考译文：

对宠物爱好者，有以做着各种特别动作的猫为图的日历,（日历中）有365张图片---一年中每天一张。有以穿着衣服的小狗为图的日历。还有身着泳装其实等于没穿的美女日历.

你愿意看汽车的图片么？也有印着汽车图片的日历。甚至有供孩子们自己画上图片的日历。

有些人不仅仅是看日历，他们在日历上写下必须记住的重要事情，象开会或约见医生。大忙人们可以买小型日历随身携带，以帮助他们条理和规划自己的生活。

但是，如果他们忘了看日历怎么办？别担心，有可以发出声音的电子记事本提醒他们必须做的事情。如今，如果你忘了什么事，很难找到一个合适的借口。有些人不喜欢小型日历，体积大的日历或者吵闹的电子日历。他们更乐于在小纸片上写下备忘录，（纸片）通常是越小越好。
