It was only about ten at night, dark and cold. The policeman moved along the

street. Then he suddenly slowed his walk. Near the door of a darkened shop a man

was standing. As the po

liceman walked toward him, the man spoke quickly. “I’m

waiting for my friend. His name’s Jimmy. Twenty years ago we agreed to meet here

tonight. Jimmy and I were like two brothers. Twenty years ago we said goodbye to

each

other

here.

Then

I

was

to

start

for

the

West.

We

agreed

that

we

would

meet

here

again in twenty years.”

“Sounds interesting,” said the policeman. “Have you heard from your friend

since you went West?”

“Yes,” said the man. “But after a year or two, we stopped. I moved around

everywhere. I

know that Jimmy will meet me here if he can.”

“You were successful in the West, weren’t you?” asked the policeman.

“I surely was! I hope Jimmy has done half as well.” said the man.

The policeman took a step or two. “I’ll go on my way,” he said and walk

ed

away.

About twenty minutes, a tall man in a long coat went directly to the waiting

man.

“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.

“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man at the door.

“It’s Bob! It surely is.” said the new man. Then the two men wal

ked along

the street. At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came

near, each turned to look at the other’s face.

The man from the West stopped suddenly. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said.

“Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s

nose.”

“

It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,

”

said the tall man.

“

You

’

ve

been under arrest(

逮捕

), Bob. But first here is something I was asked to give you.

It

’

s from a policeman named Wells.

”

The man from the West opened a little piece of paper. He read.

“Bob: I was at the place on time. I saw the face of the man wanted by Chicago

police. I didn’t want to arrest you myself. So I went and got another policeman

and sent him to do the job.”

I’m

out

with

Benji

again.

It’s

cold

and

rainy

today,

so

we’re

going

fast.

As

I’m

coming

through

the

forest,

it

starts

raining

hard,

so

I

run.

Suddenly,

I’m

slipping

and falling and, before I know it, I’m lying on my back. Ouch! That hurts.

Then there’s someone there and a voice says, “Are you all right? That was a bad

fall.” I look up and see the boy again from yes

terday.

“I’m OK, I think,” I say slowly and the boy helps me up. Benji arrives and the

boy pats

（拍）

his head.

“I haven’t seen you at school. Do you live near here?” I ask.

“No, I’m from Manchester,” he says. “Listen! I have to go. Are you OK to walk

home? Do

you need help?”

“No, I’m fine. Thanks!” I say, as the boy walks away.

“Hey, I’m Grace. What’s your name?” I call, but he’s already gone.

Back home, Mum’s watching the news. “Hi, Grace. Have you heard about this boy,

Mark?” she asks.

“Boy, what boy?” I say

.

“A boy from Manchester. He’s run away from home. Look! This is his dad.”

boy.

know

him.

It’s

the boy from the f

orest. He’s Mark. Should I say something? Should I tell Mum?

“Poor man,” says Mum. “I just hope they find his son soon.”

No,

I

mustn’t

say

anything.

If

I

tell

Mum,

the

police

will

come

and

find

Mark.

What

Sheep Can Recognize Human Faces

University of Cambridge scientists have trained sheep to recognize the faces

of

famous

people.

The

scientists

hope

facial

recognition

may

help

with

their

understanding of neurodegenerative diseases (

神经退行性疾病

).

The researchers showed the sheep pictures of people on two computer screens.

One screen had an unknown person and the other had one of four famous people. The

animals

were

given

food

for

choosing

the

photograph

of

the

famous

person.

They

chose

the correct photograph by breaking an infrared beam

（红外线光束）

near the flat

surface

showing

the

photo.

If

they

chose

the

wrong

photograph,

an

electric

signaling

machine would make a sound, and the sheep would receive no food. The sheep finally

were able to recognize the famous face eight times out of every ten tries.

The

group

of

famous

personalities

included

actors

Emma

Watson

and

Jake
