Passage 4

There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was matchless. There was no other bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Catarlo. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Catarlo, but he never succeeded. At first, he was very gentle with the bird, but gradually he

lost his temper, “You stupid bird! Why can' t you learn to say that one word; Say Catarlo, or I'll kill you! ”But the parrot could not say it. Many times the man shouted, “Say Catarlo, Or I'll kill you!” But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw it into the chicken house,“You are even more stupid than the chickens .”In the chicken house, there were four chickens waiting to be killed for Sunday' s dinner. The next morning, when he went out to the chicken house, the man opened the door and was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor laid three dead chickens. The parrot was shouting at the fourth, “say Catarlo , or I’ll kill you.”

Passage 5

　　　 I’m John Kerry. Last night a housebreaker broke into our house and stole most of my father’s butterfly collection. The housebreaker took all the rare butterflies that were in the cabinet, while leaving the ordinary butterflies on the wall. As he was going out of the window, the housebreaker made a noise and Father woke up. He looked outside and saw him, who was running across the front yard. He didn't get a good look at him, but noticed that he was wearing a black patch over one eye. Father picked up the phone next to his bed and reported it to the police. The police of officer asked for a description of the man who stole the butterflies. Dad thought for a moment and said, “The man who broke into my house had a patch over one eye. I'm sorry, sir. That's all I can tell you.” “Don't worry,” said the police officer. “I promise to find the housebreaker.”

The butterflies the housebreaker took are very rare and worth a lot of money. What' s more important is that my father places great value on them. I do hope the housebreaker will soon be caught and answer for his action
