A long time ago, there was an old, poor fisherman who could not catch enough fish for him and his family to eat. One day, when he pulled in his fishing net, he found a bottle inside that looked valuable,1.But he was also curious to see what was inside, so he took the top off the bottle. Smoke came out of the bottle and then out came a big, powerful genie(怪物).

The genie had been in the bottle for 400 years and was very angry. At first, he told the fisherman that he would kill him and the fisherman had to choose how he wanted to be killed. Scared, the fisherman decided to trick the genie. He told him that he did not believe he could fit inside the little bottle because he was so much bigger than it was. 2.The fisherman told the genie that he had tricked him and then said he would only let the genie out again if the genie promised to help him instead of hurting him.

3. The genie then took the fisherman to a lake where there were many special fish. The fisherman caught four of these fish and the genie told him to take these fish to the king. The fish were special because they could talk! 4.The king was very impressed by this and he paid the fisherman a lot of money for the fish.

The King also gave the fisherman's son a very important job and married one of the fisherman's beautiful daughters.

A. He thought it was useless.

B. So the genie went back inside to prove it.

C. They could answer any questions that someone might have.

D. He thought he could sell the bottle and make some money.

E. The genie promised to do so and the fisherman released him.

C. Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)

A rare experience

Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s1. a complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing?” This stranger isn’t necessarily m 2. . He or she might be a “super - recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to recognise people they have seen only once -- a long time ago, maybe in a crowed.

Whatever the differences in looks

It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye their hair or go grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and makeups give them new a3. , but the “super - recognisers” can still recognise them.

An inborn skill

Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face - blindness, which means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only new realising that some people are the exact o 4. .Tests have shown that a “super - recogniser” can identify people that they only saw for a brief moment -- and this is not an ability that we can d5. , it’s something we are born with.

A great h 6.

The police are starting to use “super - recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds. They look for people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they can even recognise quite o7.people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability can be used for a very practical purpose indeed.
