but when the test papers 12 him and he examined them 13 , he was able to find only one small
mistake in them. As this surprised him greatly, he 14 the paper repeatedly but still couldn"t find more
than one mistake, so he 15 for the student to question him about it.
When he came and sat down, the lecturer asked him, "I 16 you came to my first lecture and

A witness (目击者) recognized his car and Strait was caught by the police. Then he was sent to
Austria"s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹嘘) at his trial(审判) that he would
continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite the warning, prison
officials moved Strait to the prison"s blacksmith (铁匠) shop. One day during the week before Christmas, Strait disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked. Strait had managed to make a set of
keys and let himself out.
Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Strait attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of German
customs (海关) police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison, "he
explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences for crimes
(罪) like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison."
In prison, Strait persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former
keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I"m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn"t want to embarrass(使尴尬) anybody by escaping. Conditions weren"t that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here."

morning he would look in his garden and pick up his hen"s egg for breakfast. One morning he looked into
his garden and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the Englishman"s garden.
He was about to go next door when he saw the English-man pick up the egg. The Scotsman ran up
to the English-man and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Englishman
disagreed because the egg was on his property (财产).
They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, "In my family we normally settle disputes (争
议) by the following actions: We kick each other and we compare the time how long it takes us to get
back up. Whoever gets up quicker wins the egg."
The Englishman agreed to this, so the Scotsman found his heaviest pair of boots (皮靴) and put them
on. He took a few steps back, then ran toward the Englishman and kicked as hard as he could in his
stomach.
The Englishman fell to the floor, holding his stomach and howling (嚎叫) in pain for 10 minutes.
Eventually (最终) the English-man stood up and said, "Now it"s my turn to kick you." At this time, the
Scotsman said, "oh, maybe you should just keep the egg."

"He"s a 14 man," the clerk at the counter said. "Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such

wife come in 15 there is a new art show."
"But what does he get out of the art?" I asked. "He can"t see."
"Can"t see! You"re 16 . He sees a lot. More than you and I do," the clerk said. "His wife 17 each

But because of many people, lots of things are easy to be out of order, and sometimes it’s also
easy to lose your cool. Today was a day I wish I did not get out of bed. I mean that if I did not
have to wake up and deal with all the things that I deal with on a daily basis, it would have been
wonderful.
I had a cup of coffee this morning and that was my meal for breakfast, not healthy I know.
Anyway, my stomach was sounding like a truck. So, I jumped in my car and decided to buy
some food.
I was in line at Taco Bell (一家墨西哥速食店) and the line was like a long snake! Finally I
got to place my order, but a young girl in nice clothes pulled in and was stuck in such a way that
unless I moved for her, she wouldn’t be able to get out. So I backed up and waved her into my
place in the front of the line.
To my surprise, this young girl did not say thanks. I was cool with it because I thought that I
had done something nice for a change. After the girl received her food and pulled away, I pulled
into the ordering spot, not mad, but hungry, and the employee said, “Hi, that girl just paid for your
food.”
That food was the most satisfying nourishment (营养品) my body had ever taken! If just by
chance you are that person who bought my food, I should say “Thank you!”
