         Strait was an experienced safecracker who never used force -either against people or safes (保险箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered (遇见). In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 -from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money was a note, "We don't need all that much."
         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."

          A Scotsman and an Englishman lived next door to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen and each
    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."
    1. What do we know about the hen?   
    A. It belonged to the two men equally.
    B. It laid an egg every other day.
    C. Its eggs were usually cooked by the Scotsman as breakfast. 
    D. It usually laid eggs in the Englishman's garden.
    2. The underlined word "disputes" in Paragraph 3 means "_______".
    A. arguments    
    B. wars    
    C. plans      
    D. Debts
    3. What's the real purpose of the Scotsman's proposal (提议)?
    A. He wanted to get his egg back from the Englishman.
    B. He wanted to solve their dispute.
    C. He wanted to teach the Englishman a lesson.
    D. He wanted to find out who was the stronger of them.

         Diving around Halaveli Island was a really unforgettable experience. I participated (参加) in a day
    diving trip that had lunch on the boat. We went to Maalhoss Thila first. The current (水流) can be very
    strong here but we were lucky and had a mild one. We enjoyed all the different colors of coral and fish.
    The maximum (最大) depth of this dive was 30m, and we stayed for about 40 minutes. The water was
    reasonably warm, so I was not cold only wearing a short-sleeved (袖子) wetsuit.
         I was a bit worried about having lunch on the boat, as sometimes my stomach feels bad, but it was
    perfectly fine this time -perhaps because the boat had not stopped and was moving toward the other
    dive place, or because the size of the boat was reasonably large.
         Our next diving place was called Manta. And as expected, the huge Manta was soon around us. It
    is one of the most exciting moments I have had in my life. We only dove to 14m this time, which allowed
    us to stay a bit longer -almost 50 minutes.
         On the way back all the women took strategic position (好位置) on the deck, sunbathing and
    relaxing, while the men were getting bored and ate the leftovers from lunch. No matter how different we
    were, we all enjoyed our trip.
         Another dive I would like to recommend (推荐) is called Maaya Thila, and it is the best night dive I
    have ever had. We saw a huge turtle (海龟) sleeping in a cave, and sharks (鲨鱼) playfully chasing (追
    赶) each other. They did not look friendly at all, but fortunately they did not decided to have us for
    dinner. But anyway what happened that night under water will remain a fond memory to be retold on
    special occasions by all the participants (参加者). It will be told with a smile on our faces.
