閱讀難度：
A 12-year-old African tortoise that recently had its front left leg amputated due to injury is now moving just fine, thanks to a swiveling wheel attached to his shell by doctors at Washington State University's veterinary hospital, AP reports.
The tortoise is particularly good at moving toward food, and has gained 3 pounds since the wheel was attached.
The wheel allows the tortoise to move well on both flat and lumpy surfaces like lawns, and should last for years before it has to be replaced. （點擊雅虎新聞網站查看原文）
烏龜安上假肢活動自如
???????一只12 歲的非洲龜受傷后左前腿被切除，幸好華盛頓州立大學獸醫醫院的醫生們為它在龜殼下安裝了一個可以旋轉的輪子，它現在才可以自如地爬行，沖向食物時尤其迅速。
???????美聯社報道稱，自從安了輪子，非洲龜的體重已經增加了3磅。
???????不管是在平地還是草坪等不太平整的路面，它都可以靠著輪子自由活動，而這個輪子能一直用好多年。
