They were in danger of losing their car for 　2　 to make payments on it.

    One day last summer, Pauline found a wallet 　3　 a credit card, an airline ticket to New Zealand and $2,394 in 　 4 　 at a shopping center in the Los Angeles suburb of Buena Park. “For a second I 　5　 about taking the money,” she said later. “　 6 only for a second. It wasn’t our money and we don’t want to set a bad 　 7 to our son.” She delivered the wallet and the contents to the nearest 　　8　 , where the owner reclaimed them. Police admitted that they were　 9 when the Nichters walked into the police station with the　 10　 and the money.

    　　Don't be surprised if you find yourself sitting next to a Fido on your next flight．Several airlines now allow dogs and cats to fly in airplane cabins with people．

    　　Those in favor of the pet-friendly policy say it's safer for dogs and cats to fly first class．They point out that animals could get injured while traveling in an aircraft's cargo area with suitcases．

    　　However, the idea of sharing a flight with furry friends does not“fly”with everyone．Some people are allergic(过敏的)to animals．They say flying with pets could make them sick．

    　　What do you think?Should dogs and cats be allowed to fly in an airplane cabins?WR News student reporters Isabella Pena and Peter Brosnan each fetched a side．

    　　YES．Animals can get hurt flying in cargo areas．

    　　Pets should be allowed to fly in airplane cabins with their owners．Did you know that there have been injuries to animals flying in cargo?Cargo areas are not equipped to deal with situations such as delays or extreme temperatures．

    　　Also, dogs and cats can feel nervous in new situations．“Pets can feel anxious and stressed when they're expecting new, scary things without the comfort of their owners,”explains Nicole Kagan, a vet from Manhattan Beach, Calif．

    　　The pets' stress can be reduced if they are allowed to travel with their owners in an airplane cabin．That is especially important for pets on longer flights．

    Isabella Pena,

    California

    　　NO．Some passengers are allergic to pets．

    　　I really like dogs and cats, and that is why I don't think it is a good idea for them to fly in airplane cabins with people．Pets can be afraid of strangers, and that could cause them to bark．The noise could be upsetting to everyone on board．

    　　Also, for passengers who have allergies or asthma(哮喘), sitting next to pets can be dangerous．“I could put myself at risk for an asthma attack,”explains Kristina Krops, a teacher at Helen Morgan School in Sparta, N．J．“Passengers need to feel safe．”If people really need their dogs and cats to travel, they can have them fly on a special airline just for pets, such PET Airways．
