  Read the following three pieces of news , and then answer the questions.

1

  Police said that Rob Bailey planned his bank robbery very carefully, but he didn't think to bring any paper with him-and that's what got him in trouble.Bailey apparently found an envelope in his pocket and wrote on the back of it “Give me all your money.” This is what he gave to the bank teller.Unfortunately for Bailey, he had written his note on an envelope that contained a letter from his mother.The bank teller noticed Bailey's name and address on the envelope as soon as he handed it to her.She gave the envelope to the police, and the police soon arrested him at home.

  No one noticed when Mick Novak carried little Alex, a sleeping bundle(包)wrapped in a blanket, onto a North Star Airline's flight.Alex caused no trouble when he woke up as he was fastened into its own seat, purchased at the full cost of $400.He was enjoying his lunch when the trouble began.A flight attendant screamed, “He's alive!” when she realized furry(多毛的)little Alex wasn't a stuffed(填充物)animal.Alex is 25-pound chimp.He is tidy, quiet and pleasant, but he is a chimp, and North Star says he can't fly economy class.In fact, North Star spokesperson Jon Austin said the airline's policy is that large animals have to ride in the cargo(货物)hold.But Novak said , “I would think, given North Star's current financial problems, they would be happy to take any paying customer.”

  Carmen Ferreira had given up hope of finding her pet parrot, Raquel, who disappeared from the back garden of her house two years ago.But when she heard the familiar screech: “Hello, Raquel!” as she walked past a neighbor's house one weekend, she called the police.The neighbor denied the bird was Raquel and said he had bought it from a pet store three years ago.But the bird recognized his true owner while behind bars at the police station, screeching, “Hello, Luis!” the name of Ferreira's grandson, and “Hello, Smokey!” her cat's name.During the course case last week , the bird dozed off but interrupted its nap to shout “Hello, Luis!” at the judge, who had ruled the bird belonged to Ferreira.
