【题目】 Abby’s father was taking her to visit her grandmother. Abby was going to be away for three months. “I can’t leave Tobias behind,” she said. “You will have to,” said her father. “You can’t take Tobias into another country.”

Abby thought it was a silly rule. “I will take him,” she said to herself. So she put him in a sock and packed it in her bag.

At the airport, Abby put her bag by the x-ray machine. Abby felt her legs shaking as the bag was going through the machine. She hoped Tobias in the bag made no noise. The woman by the machine smiled and said, “Have a good flight.”

On the plane, Abby waited until her dad and the woman next to her fell asleep. Then she opened the sock to look at Tobias. But he jumped out of the sock and landed on the woman’s knee. The woman cried loudly, “A mouse!” Abby quickly put Tobias into the sock and back into her bag.

Before they landed, Dad filled out a form, choosing no to: Are you bringing any live animals into the country?

She saw the man frown (皱眉) as her bag went through the x-ray machine. She watched when he opened the bag and pulled out the sock.

“Come with me, please.”

Abby followed her dad into a small room. There was a police officer and Tobias in the sock was on the desk. The police officer talked to Abby’s dad, “You have tried to smuggle (走私) an animal into this country.” Abby felt fear came all over her body. “It’s my fault (过错),” she said in a small voice. “I didn’t want to leave him behind.” “Have you ever been in trouble before?” the officer asked as he wrote “animal smuggler” next to her name. Abby opened her mouth but no sound came out.

Tobias had to be in quarantine (隔离) for six months, which cost a lot of money. And Abby wouldn’t be able to visit her grandmother again. Now, she learned there was a good reason for rules.

【题目】 Scrub, the pet cat of Jennifer’s, was found! It got lost five years ago. Jennifer looked for it everywhere but failed each time. She thought Scrub would never come back. But one day she got a call from an animal shelter(庇护所) and was told they had found Scrub!

How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer? How did they know Jennifer’s phone number? All the information was available because of the microchip, a very small computer chip(薄片). It was placed under Scrub’s skin many years earlier.

The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal’s shoulder to keep its ID number. Once the chip is in place, the pet does not feel it anymore. When lost pets are brought to animal shelters, people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it, then they’ll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet’s owner. This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub.

Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back. In New York, a dog named Roxy was missing for months. Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey. No one knows how the dog got to a different state. However, thanks to her microchip, Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner.

In 2008, a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost, the couple tried everything to find him. They visited animal shelters every day for six months, made posters and even offered a $500 reward(酬金). As years went by, they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter. Without the microchip, the cat would never be able to come home again.

Microchips can not only work for a pet’s whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they’ve been away from home. This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home.
