　　Tadatoyo Yamamoto is a Japanese businessman. He visits the USA from time to time. While he was telephoning at a hotel(旅社) on a visit to Chicago, he put his bag on the floor. A few minutes later, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto reached down for it, but it was gone. Inside it were about $ 900, his passport(护照), photos of his family, and his return ticket to Japan.

　　But three weeks after he returned to Tokyo, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto received an envelope(信封). There was nothing inside but his passport, his airline ticket and money order(汇票) for more than $ 900 and a letter from Mr Joseph Loveras. It said, “I hope this money order and the things will make you believe in the people of Chicago.”

　　The next time he travelled to the USA, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto called on Mr Joseph Loveras. He was 67 years old and in bad health. He got only $ 493 a month.

　　He said that he saw the bag on a street corner and found the money and the ticket in the top part of the bag. He changed the money into money order and spent his own money to send it to Japan.

　　Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto was very moved by what Mr Loveras had done. “I asked him why he would go to all the trouble to return everything to me. He told me that if he had not done it, it would have made him feel bad for the rest of his life.”

I think it is good that many families keep animals　1.　pets. Unfortunately, some people do not take good care of their pets. Some do not feed their pets enough so they become　2.　. Others do not give their pets a good place to　3.　in and the animals can get too hot or too cold. There are also a few people who　4.　their pets. I feel this is wrong. People should not treat their pets badly.

The government of the UK is thinking of 　5.　to help protect pets – it’s about time! It wants a set of instructions on 　6.　 to take care of different kinds of animals. The instructions would　7.　 explain how to keep animals happy! That is good news for pets, don’t you think so?

The UK government also wants to create some 　8.　‘pet police(政策)’. They can go to people’s homes to check whether they are taking care of their pets　9.　. If they find someone treating an animal badly, they can take the animal　10.　. People who hurt their pets can even go to jail(监狱). I hope more people will now try to take better care of their pets.
