六、阅读理解。
Great news for pet owners in China! Passengers(乘客) can now bring certain pets on some high-speed trains. This is a new programme by China Railway Express(中铁快运). The move is a first for the country's railway system.
The service began its test run on April 10. It's being tested on ten trains along the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway. It only runs between five big stations: Beijing South, Jinan West, Nanjing South, Shanghai Hongqiao and Hangzhou East. People can book tickets for their pets using the 12306 ticket system at least two days before travel.
Not all pets can ride the train. So far, only pet cats and dogs are allowed on board. And they must be in good health. Owners are required to show a health certificate(证明) for their pets. Besides, the pet must be less than 15 kilograms and no taller than 40 centimetres at the shoulder.
Pets will be put in specially designed containers. These boxes are kept in a separate area away from passengers. Train workers will watch the pets during the trip and check on them every two hours. Water may be provided if needed, but pets cannot be fed during the trip.
The service follows a “same departure(出发), same arrival” rule. That means owners and their pets must get on the train at the same station and get off together as well. Pet owners should arrive early to finish check-in(登记), and pets must be picked up within one hour after arrival.
Pricing of the service is based on travel distance. For example, transporting a pet on a journey under 1,000 kilometres will cost 558 yuan. During the trial period(试行期), it only costs 360 yuan.
Some pet owners are happy with the new service. Many others, however, are a bit worried about the safety of their pets. They hope that in the future their pets can sit next to them on the train.
