I"d just got in a taxi at the railway station when suddenly I found one of my suitcases missing. Just then, I saw a young fellow about 30 walking away with it, opening it and drawing out the valuables. "Stop thief! Stop thief!" I shouted and threw open the car door and rushed out to him, followed by the driver and half
a dozen passers-by. Very soon the thief was cornered at the turn of the road. My driver caught the thief
by the neck and put his hand into his trouser pocket, drawing out money, credit card, telephone book
and so on and put them back into my suitcase.
Half an hour later, the car was running at full speed on the express highway. I sat back and breathed a
long sigh of relief (松口气). But as I pulled out those stolen things from the suitcase and started to check
them, I became dumbfounded (惊呆了). Before my eyes were 200 yuan instead of 100. And a blood
test report of a 58-year-old woman appeared. I suddenly realized that the taxi driver must have mistaken
the thief"s belongs and put his into my suitcase. The pitiful and begging look of the poor young man flashed across my mind again. My heart began to sink.
Two years has passed since then. But this event keeps coming back to me. Was the young man a
habitual robber or a dutiful son who had been driven to desperation (铤而走险) to find money to save
his mother"s life? My heart aches for him. How I wish I had gone back that summer afternoon to return
the 200 yuan and say sorry to him. For the first time in my life, I realized that hate and love are very close. |

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but
suddenly everything seems to get out of control. It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a
number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the

cake went right through the window and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a
truck-driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and
hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument.
Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move
again. In the meanwhile, the truck-driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs
were enjoying themselves from the accident, for they were happily having what was left of the cake. It
was just one of those days! |

Strait was an experienced safecracker who never used force -either against people or safes (保险箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered (遇见). In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 -from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money was a note, "We don"t need all that much."
A witness (目击者) recognized his car and Strait was caught by the police. Then he was sent to
Austria"s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹嘘) at his trial(审判) that he would
continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite the warning, prison
officials moved Strait to the prison"s blacksmith (铁匠) shop. One day during the week before Christmas, Strait disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked. Strait had managed to make a set of
keys and let himself out.
Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Strait attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of German
customs (海关) police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison, "he
explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences for crimes
(罪) like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison."
In prison, Strait persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former
keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I"m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn"t want to embarrass(使尴尬) anybody by escaping. Conditions weren"t that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here." |

A Scotsman and an Englishman lived next door to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen and each
morning he would look in his garden and pick up his hen"s egg for breakfast. One morning he looked into
his garden and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the Englishman"s garden.
He was about to go next door when he saw the English-man pick up the egg. The Scotsman ran up
to the English-man and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Englishman
disagreed because the egg was on his property (财产).
They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, "In my family we normally settle disputes (争
议) by the following actions: We kick each other and we compare the time how long it takes us to get
back up. Whoever gets up quicker wins the egg."
The Englishman agreed to this, so the Scotsman found his heaviest pair of boots (皮靴) and put them
on. He took a few steps back, then ran toward the Englishman and kicked as hard as he could in his
stomach.
The Englishman fell to the floor, holding his stomach and howling (嚎叫) in pain for 10 minutes.
Eventually (最终) the English-man stood up and said, "Now it"s my turn to kick you." At this time, the
Scotsman said, "oh, maybe you should just keep the egg." |

A. It belonged to the two men equally.
B. It laid an egg every other day.
C. Its eggs were usually cooked by the Scotsman as breakfast.
D. It usually laid eggs in the Englishman"s garden. |
| 2. The underlined word "disputes" in Paragraph 3 means "_______". |
A. arguments
B. wars
C. plans
D. Debts |
| 3. What"s the real purpose of the Scotsman"s proposal (提议)? |
A. He wanted to get his egg back from the Englishman.
B. He wanted to solve their dispute.
C. He wanted to teach the Englishman a lesson.
D. He wanted to find out who was the stronger of them. |
