One day a stranger came to the nearest village and asked where he could find wild pigs. Somebody told him, and he went off. He had no1with him, and the village people 2what he was going to3with the pigs.
When he came back a few months later and said that he had4all the pigs, the villagers were still more surprised, but some of them agreed to go with him5he asked for help in bringing the pigs out. They wanted to see whether he was telling6.
They soon discovered7he was. All the pigs were inside the enclosure(围栏) which had a fence round it and a8 in one of its sides.
9did you do it?” they asked the stranger.
“ well, it was quite easy really,” he answered. “ I began by10some Indian corn.11, they would not touch it, but after a few weeks, some of the younger pigs12to run out of the bushes, take some of the corn quickly, and then run back. Soon all the pigs were eating the corn I13out there. Then I began to build a fence round the corn. At first it was very14, but little by little I built it higher and higher without15the pigs away. When I saw that they were16me to bring the corn each day17going and searching for their own food 18they had done in the past, I can19one day while they were all eating inside the enclosure. I can catch any animal in the world in the same way if I can get it into the habit of20me for its food.

Many TV programs seem to be quite realistic (真实的). One1watches TV often feels that whatever happened in the film may as well happen2him. With only a little thinking, every man in the street may3to be a thief, or a spy (间谍), or a murderer. Jane had been watching a spy film at a friend’s home. In it a young girl had been4and killed. She felt a little frightened. She took a5back to the center of the city. There were a lot of people traveling with her, so she felt much6.
A man sat face to face with her,7a newspaper. She thought nothing of it8 she saw him looking at her for a long time. Remembering the film and feeling9, she got off the train and went to the bus stop. When she got on the bus, she found he was following her. When she got off the bus, she was getting more and more nervous as there was10else in the street. She walked as quickly as she could. She could hear footsteps behind her, but she didn’t dare to look11her shoulder (肩膀). It seemed to have been hours12she reached the front door. She felt for her keys, but couldn’t find them. The13stopped behind her. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Instead of feeling hands round her neck, she heard a pleasant14: “ I am sorry15I frightened you. I thought I recognized you in the train, but I was not sure.”

It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. 1
I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury.
I was going along2at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a3scream--- “ Help! ” I looked round, but the only4of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking car just5a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I6speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw7me. As I drew near, the girl’s voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with8.
“Let me go, you coward; you’re hurting me. Oh ! Oh ! ”
I felt my9boil. The fog was coming down10now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no11that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.
“Drop that knife, you fool. Oh ! ” Then a cry and a groan(呻吟).
If I was to save her, it was now or12. Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would at least try to bring the murderer to13. The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its14, and its brakes screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and15into the ditch(沟)at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out .
“You fool!” he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was16than he. I put all I could into17that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It18him right on the point of the chin; his19slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car,20open the door and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.
“You have been listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately . ”

I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was1the teddy bears(泰迪熊) beside her father2she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand.3, it looked no more than five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and4picking up the Pokémon video games. Each time he showed one to his father, his father5his head, “No”.
Rather6, the boy gave up the video games and chose a book of stickers7. After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games. She excitedly picked up one8on top of the others, and raced down toward the check-out(结账处). I picked up my purchases and9the girl and her father.
Then, much to the little girl’s10, the little boy and his father got in line11her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl12it back to the cashier(收银员) and13something to her. The cashier smiled and put the14under the counter(柜台). I was putting things in my bag when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, “15, you’re my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” and she handed the boy the Pokémon game. The boy could only16in disbelief. It was, he said, 17what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and18smile on that little girl I have ever seen in my life.
I suddenly understood that the world is not19into the strong who care and the20who are cared for. We must each in turn care and be cared.

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield.The cab had a woolen carpet with1lace edges.On the glass partition that2the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting.Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much3and said to the driver,“I've never seen a nicer4.”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered5.
“The car isn't mine,”said the driver.“It belongs to the company.I used to be a6of cabs.When they returned,all of them were as7as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish8here and there.On the seats and door-handles could be found something9like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most10be considerate and refrain from littering.”
“So when I got a11to be a taxi-driver,I began12my idea into practice-to tidy and13the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car,I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car14after a day's work,it always remains15.”
