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．

Trees in cities "live fast but die young" compared to forests in the countryside， warns a new study．
Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2． City﹣living trees suffer（遭受） a loss of carbon storage（碳储量）． That means trees produce less energy from the air．
Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation． Ian Smith， a PhD student of Boston University in the United States， said， "Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2．"． "We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover（树冠覆盖率）． Because of the age and size of the present canopy， efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover．"
The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods． Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth， death and planting rates（率）both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts．
It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside． However， loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher， especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests．
The study， published in PLOS ONE， has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees． It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage．
Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily， but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees ﹣﹣﹣which may be different from countryside forests．
（1）According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE？
A． The more carbon storage loses， the more energy the trees produce from the air．
B． The higher the levels of CO2 are， the harder it will be for the plants to survive．
C． If we plant enough trees， we are sure to increase city canopy cover．
D． Cities do better in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2．
（2）Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ．
A． the results of the study
B． the discoveries from the researchers
C． the methods of the study
D． the suggestions from the researchers
（3）What does" those" in Paragraph 5 refer to？
A． Death rates．
B． Rates of carbon cycling．
C． Growth rates．
D． Loss of carbon storage．
（4）The writer's main purpose of writing the passage is ．
A． to teach us how to improve and protect tree health
B． to warn us that trees in cities live fast but die young
C． to let us have a better understanding of city trees
D． to tell us to take action to increase city canopy cover

I was so afraid that he would be alone． But your father marked the grave every time he came． Each time I returned here， I saw that stone and it always comforted me． Your father is the kind of man who would ease the pain of a mother's heart though we are strangers． Just tell him you saw me today， won't you？" She said．
It took me a minute to find my voice． That small stone marked the grave of a child and the heart of his mother．

Robin and his "Merry Men" always looked for rich people and asked them to their camp in Sherwood Forest． When they arrived， Robin gave them a good meal and played music for them． Then he took their gold away to help the poor． Robin became most famous for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor． "
The Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin's greatest enemy． He was cruel and treated the poor badly． It was his job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king's deer． He hated Robin because Robin was an outlaw． But most of all， he hated Robin because everyone else loved him． The Sheriff of Nottingham kept trying to catch Robin Hood and his "Merry Men"， but never succeeded．
