| Many years ago in a small village, an old man was hired to clear the spring (泉水) up on the mountain. He patrolled (巡逻) the spring every day, and swept away all the leaves and other things that would dirty the fresh flow of water. Soon, beautiful swans (天鹅) came to the clear spring, and the village became a popular attraction for visitors. Years passed. One evening the town leaders held a meeting. As they looked at the salary list, one of them said, "Why do we keep this old man on year after year? I don't think we need him or his work." Later, the old man was asked to leave. For several weeks, nothing changed. By early autumn, the leaves began to fall off the trees, and the spring was covered with leaves. A few days later, the water was much darker.

| Have you heard about the woman who put her wet dog in the microwave (微波炉) to dry it, and ended up cooking her dog by mistake? Or did you hear about the man who died at his desk at work, and nobody in the office noticed he was dead for five days? These stories have two things in common. They both are not true, and they both are urban legends (传闻). Usually, legends are stories of events from long ago. Urban legends, on the other hand, are stories in the recent past, perhaps even last week! Urban legends are that there are many different versions (版本) of the same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become a common way for urban legends to spread very quickly. A good example of an urban legend is the story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was popular to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levi's sold special jeans that shrank (缩水) when you washed them. According to the story, a girl wanted to make her jean as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water. Unluckily, they shrank so much that the girl died. In fact, this legend came from a Levi's advertisement on TV. In the TV ad, a man stepped into the water and his tight jeans became the right size. However, some stories that sound like urban legends really come from real events. For example, there is a story about muggers (抢劫者) using snakes to rob people. There have been real reports about this. The muggers hold a snake in a person's face and then take the person's money. According to the legend, these muggers are very common, so you should keep an eye out for (密切注意) strangers carrying snakes. |

|
[ ] |
| A. It tells readers some surprising stories. B. It tells readers what urban legends are. C. It tells readers how to make up urban legends. D. It tells readers a TV ad. |

|
[ ] |
| A. usually take place in the country, or in small towns B. have the same version in different places C. none of them come from real events D. are immediately known because of the Internet |
| 3. What happened to the girl in the jeans story? |
|
[ ] |
| A. She shrank. B. She played a part in a TV ad. C. Her jeans became too small. D. A man stepped into the water, too. |
| 4. Which story in the passage really happened? |
|
[ ] |
| A. The dog in the microwave. B. The dead man in the office. C. The girl killed by her jeans. D. The muggers using snakes. |
