Marriage does not always work out. Or at least, some people think their marriage is not working out. One of these people was a Turkish man, Suleyman Guresci. Mr. Guresci and his wife were married for twenty-one years, but he thought that his marriage was not working. He wanted to break up with his wife, Nesrin Caglasas. After six years in court, the couple finally got a divorce.

   After the divorce, Mr. Guresci wanted to quickly find a new wife, so he went to a computer dating agency to help him look for one. He told the dating agency the kind of woman he wanted to marry, and the computer began looking for a good match for him.

 After looking at 2,000 women, the computer found only one who matched well with man. The computer program showed that Mr. Guresci and this woman were made for each other. The woman was Nasrin Caglasas—Mr. Guresci`s ex-wife.

   When he heard who the computer had matched him with, Mr. Guresci asked his ex-wife to remarry him. Before their second marriage, Mr. Guresci told his friends that he would more understand this time.

The owner of the pigs said that if they were found, he would sell them to anyone who would give them a home. A number of newspapers tried to buy the pigs, and finally The Daily Mail paid a lot of money for them.

One rainy night, six days after the escape, a reporter from The Daily Mail and some people from the town found Butch in the woods. They caught her and put her in a cage. The next day, Sundance was caught, too.

A 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo though he had lost his left arm in a car accident. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.

“ Master,” the boy finally asked, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?” “ This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the teacher answered.

Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first competition. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the final.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. Soon after the match started, the boy seemed to lose. Thinking that the boy might get hurt, the judge called a time-out. He was going to stop the match when the teacher appeared. “ No,” the teacher said, “Let him continue.” A short time after the match carried on, his opponent made a careless mistake. At once, the boy used his move to pin (压住) him. The boy won the match and the competition.

On the way home, the boy asked the teacher what was really in his mind. “ Why could I win the competition with only one move?” The teacher answered. “ First, you’ve mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. Second, your opponent can only attack your left arm to win you.”
