Paragraph 1
Then
suddenly Mrs. Sappleton brightened into alert
attention. “Here they are at
last! Just
in time for tea!” she cried. Framton shivered
slightly and turned towards the
niece
with
a
look
intended
to
convey
sympathetic
comprehension.
The
child
was
staring
out through the open window with dazed horror in
her eyes. In a chill shock of
nameless
fear Framton swung round in his seat and looked in
the same direction. In
the
increasing
darkness
three
figures
were
walking
across
the
grass
towards
the
window; they all carried guns under
their arms. A tired brown dog kept close at their
heels. Noiselessly they drew near to
the house.
Paragraph 2
Framton wildly grabbed his hat and
stick; he ran out through the front door and
through the gate.
“
Here we are, my dear,” said
the husband, coming in through the
window; “Who was that who ran out as we
came up?” “A most extraordinary man, a
Mr. Nuttel,” said Mrs. Sappleton; “he
ran off without a word of
good
-
bye or apology
when you arrived. One would think he
had seen a ghost.” “I expect it was the dog,”
said the niece calmly; “he told me he
had a terrible fear of dogs. He was once hunted
into a graveyard somewhere in India by
a lot of wild dogs, and had to spend the night
in a newly
-
dug
grave with the creatures just above him. Enough to
make anyone lose
their
nerve.”

Paragraph
1
She telephoned the police
and a psychiatrist; she told them to hurry to her
house
and bring a
strait
-
jacket. When the
police and the psychiatrist arrived they sat down
in
chairs and
looked at her, with great interest.

me

a
golden
horn
in
the
middle of its
forehead,
leaped from their chairs and
seized the wife. They had a hard time subduing
her, for
she put up a terrific
struggle, but they finally subdued her.
Paragraph 2
Just as the police got her into the
strait

jacket, the husband
came back into the
house.

the husband.

the

her
away.
I'm
sorry,
sir,
but
your
wife
is
as
crazy
as
a
jaybird.
So
they
took
her
away,
cursing
and
screaming,
and
shut
her
up
in
a
booby

hatch. The
husband lived happily ever after.

Paragraph 1:
He
speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so
commanding that it silences everyone.
“I want to know just what control
everyone at the table has. I will count three
hundred
--
that’s five
minutes
--
and not one of
you is to move a muscle. Those who move will
forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?” The 20
guests sit like stone images while he counts. He
is
saying “... two hundred and
eighty...” when, out of the corner of hid eye, he
sees the
cobra emerge and make for the
bowl of milk.
Paragraph 2:
Screams ring out as he
jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut. “You
were
right,
Major!”
the
host
exclaims.
“A
man
has
just
shown
us
an
example
perfect
self
-
control.”
“just a minute,” the American says, turning to his
hostess. “Mrs. Wyness,
how did you know
that cobra was in the room?” A faint smile lights
up the woman’s
face as she replies:”
Because it was crawling across my
foot.”

Paragraph
1
Love began to cry. She
felt desperate for she could ask no one for help.
Just as
she thought she was doomed to
sink to the bottom of the ocean with
this island,
she
heard
a
deep
voice
say,
Love,
I
will
take
you
with
me.
It
was
an
elder
standing
on a boat. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that
she forgot to ask the elder
his name.
When they arrived on land the elder went on his
way. Love realized how
much she owed
the elder.
Paragraph 2
Love
then found Knowledge and asked,
would?
”
Love
asked.
Knowledge
smiled
and
with
deep
wisdom
and
sincerity,
answered,
”
五
Paragraph
1
Now
they
were
20
miles
from
the
town.
The
young
people
took
over
window
seats
on the right side, waiting for the approach of the
great oak tree. The bus acquired
a
dark,
hushed
mood,
full
of
the
silence
of
absence
and
lost
years.
Vingo
stopped
looking, tightening
his face into the ex
-
con’s
mask, as if fortifying himself against still
another disappointment. Then it was ten
miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of
the young people were up out of their
seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing
some small dances of exultation. All
except Vingo.
Paragraph 2
Vingo
sat
there
stunned,
looking
at
the
oak
tree.
It
was
covered
with
yellow
handkerchiefs
--
20
of
them,
30
of
them,
may
be
hundreds,
a
tree
that
stood
like
a
banner of
welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people
shouted, the old con
rose from his seat
and made his way to the front of the bus to go
home.
六
Paragraph
1
In an hour Stuffy leaned
back with a battle won. “Thankee kindly, sir,” he
puffed
like a leaky steam pipe;
“thankee kindly for a hearty dinner.” Then he
arose heavily
with glazed eyes and
almost headed toward the wrong direction. The Old
Gentleman
carefully counted out $$1.30
in silver change, leaving three nickels for the
waiter. They
parted as they did each
year at the door of the restaurant, the Old
Gentleman going
south,
Stuffy north.
Round the
first
corner Stuffy turned, and stood
for one minute.
Then he fell to the
sidewalk. When the ambulance came the young
surgeon and the
driver cursed softly at
his weight. So Stuffy and his two dinners were
transferred to
the hospital.
