Mr Hill is a young man of twenty-two. He joined the police as soon as he graduated from a famous university. He likes his job and tries his best to be an able officer. Once his colleague (同事) Mr Scott was ill and he was told to take his place---to train several new policemen who had hardly touched guns by then. None of them was good at shooting. A week passed but few of them could hit the targets (靶子). Mr Scott was worried about it, so did Mr Hill.

  One day, when he was passing a school, he found there were a lot of small circles on the wall, which had been drawn with chalk. In every circle there was a bullet (子弹) hole. He was surprised at such a good marksmanship (枪法). He was eager to see the crack shot (神枪手). He hoped the crack shot would teach the new policemen to shoot.

  From then on Mr Hill walked by the school every day. One afternoon he saw a boy shooting at the wall, holding an air gun. He was even more surprised and came up to him.

   "How old are you, my little friend?" asked Mr Hill.

   "Eight," answered the boy.

   "Eight?" Mr Hill couldn't help calling out. "I couldn't believe that all this had been done by you unless I saw it with my own eyes! How do you shoot at the circles?"

   "That's easy, sir," the boy said with a smile. "I always shoot at the wall first!"

  When Johnny Cash sings, people listen.His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and jukeboxes across North America.His records sell by the million.Country-music fans everywhere know his big hits.They love songs like “Hey Porter”, “Ring of Fire”, and “Folsom Prison Blue”.

  Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year.People like what they hear and what they see, too.Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on.He-s a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent.And that scar(疤痕)on his cheek is a bullet(子弹)hole, of course!

  In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is“Mr.Tough(violent)Guy”.He’s an ex-drug addict(上瘾者)who was once put in prison.His grandmother was an Indian.To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife.Some people say he even killed a man.

  In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that-a story.True, years ago he had a “drug habit” for a short time.He “popped” pills.But he never used heroin or other “hard” drugs.Sometimes he’d go wild and get locked up for a few hours.But he never served a prison sentence.There’s no Indian blood in his veins.He’s been a killer only in song.As for the “bullet hole”, it’s an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).

  People who know Johnny Cash well say he’s a “gentle guy”, a “generous guy”-anything but a “tough guy”.How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the “Indian grandmother”, made up by Johnny Cash long ago to add excitement to his career.Others, like the “bullet hole”, simply got started.Now there’s little the singer can do to change people’s minds.“They just want to believe it, ” he says.
