Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder.The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVFS LIFF SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary.aged 26,professional boxer.was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming.aged 32,laborer ,last July.The jury (陪审团)reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most sever punishment the court could give out.It was, said the judge, a simple case.Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbor Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious chumming.When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard lab our.Asked if he had anything to say , Cleary answered,“Just don't tell my mother.”
"It happened over three years ago, " Paddy said helplessly.No one answered him or moved.for no one knew what to do."Jus don't tell my mother.said Fee numbly."And no one did! Oh. God! My poor, poor Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. 'Fee dear, pack your things. We'll go to see him.
She half-rose before sinking back.her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead."I can't go ." she said without a hint of pain.yet making everyone feel that the pain was there."It would kill him to see me.I know him so well - his pride.his ambition.Let him bear the shame alone.it's what he wants. We've got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him keep his secret what good will it do him to see us? "
Paddy was still weeping.but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes.Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune ,always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his hart and the hearts of his children.
Every time it looked as if there might be harpings for Fee.Frank took it away. But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Flank.
So he said." Well, Fee, we won't go But we must make sure he is taken care of.How about if l write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?

“You do not need to be a rocket scientist.” Americans hear these words often.
People say them in schools, offices and factories. Broadcasters on radio and television use them.
How did the expression begin? No one seems to know it. 66 “It grew,” he says, “because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around.”
Not everyone would agree. Some people might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists. For example, a person who speaks and reads fifteen languages, or a medical doctor who operates on the brain. Still, many people would agree that there is something special about scientists who build rockets. 67
Moving pictures from before World War II showed a man named Buck Rogers landing on the planet Mars. He was a hero who could withdraw any enemy from outer space. The rocket scientist is a different kind of hero. 68
Rocket scientists, however, can have problems just like everyone else. A Washington rocket scientist tells about a launch that was postponed many, many times. Finally, everything seemed right. Mechanical failures had been repaired. The weather was good. The scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch. All ships and boats within many kilometers of the danger area had been warned. But in the last few seconds a small boat entered the area. 69
70 One scientist said, "As a child I loved to build rockets. Now I am grown. I still love to build rockets. And now I get paid for it."
A.he or she makes space travel possible. |
B.It’s dangerous for rocket scientists to build rockets. |
C.Maybe it has something to do with the mystery of space travel. |
D.When the work goes well, most rocket scientists enjoy their jobs. |
E. Have you ever heard of the space travel?
F. But an official of the American space agency, NASA, says the expression just grew.
G. Once again, the launch was put off.
