   I was a very determined 16yearold. One day I woke up and realized I wasn't famous. I decided to do
something about it. I would get my name published in the Guinness Book of World Records.
   Having made this decision, I needed to think of something I could do well. First, I thought I could tie
my arm around my back and become "the person who swam the furthest with only one arm". But as
soon as I got in the water I sank.
   I knew I liked cookies, so I stuffed (塞进) 16 in my mouth and tried to be "the person who put the
most cookies in his mouth". But when cookie 17 went in, I got sick.
   I realized that I wasn't really good at anything. Then it hit me! I ran to the bathroom and filled up the
tub with water. I had decided to be "the person who took the world's longest bath". It was perfect
because all I had to do was sit there.
   I entered the tub at 5 o'clock on a Friday evening. The first three hours went great. I drank soda and
ate potato chips. Being in the water so long wrinkled my hands and feet and made me look like I was
80. But I was determined.
   At 8:45 my brother shouted through the bathroom door that the record for the longest bath was more
than a month and that there was also a record for most rattlesnakes with a human in a bathtub.
   Feeling rejected,_I got out. Maybe I'll never be in the Guinness book of World Records. But that's
OK. I am still special. Besides, I have more important things to do than sit in a bathtub for a month!

Arnold followed Eugie down the slope, stealing, as his brother did, from one stock of wheat to another. Eugie paused before climbing through the wire fence that divided the Wheatfield from the marshy pasture (牧场)around the lake. They were screened from the ducks by the trees along the lake’s edge.

    “If  you hit your duck, you want me to go in after it?” Eugie said.

    “If you want.” Amold said.

Eugie lowered his eyelids, “You’d drown before you got it, the legs of yours are so weak.” he said contemptuously(轻蔑地).

He shoveled the tub under the fence and, pressing down the center wire, climbed through into the pasture.

Arnold pressed down the bottom wire, pushed a leg through and leaned forward to bring the other leg after. His rifle caught on the wire and he pulled at it. The air was rocked by the sound of the shot. Feeling foolish, he lifted his face, uncovering it to an expected shower of derision (嘲弄)from his brother. But Eugie did not turn around. Instead, from his crouching position, he fell into his knees and then fell forward onto his face. The ducks rose up crying from the lake, cleared the mountain background and beat away northward across the pale sky.

Arnold squatted beside his brother. Eugie seemed to be climbing the earth, as if the earth ran up and down, and when he found he couldn’t scale it he lay still.

“Eugie?”

Then Arnold saw it, under the rolling hair at the back of the need — a slow rising of bight blood. It had an unpleasant movement, like that of a parasite(寄生虫).

“Hey, Eugie, ” he said again. He was feeling the same discomfort he had felt when he had watched Eugie sleeping; his brother didn’t know that he was lying face down in the pasture.

Again he said, “Hey, Eugie,” an anxious push in his voice. But Eugie was as still as the morning about them.
