Carl lost his job. He tried to find
another one but it wasn't easy. As a result, the poor fellow couldn't pay his
bills and he couldn't even find anybody to lend him any.
Carl spent most of his days at home. Sometimes
he looked out of the window and watched his neighbor's house. An old professor
lived there alone. Strangely, he hardly talked to his neighbors. Carl could see
into the professor's house because he never drew the curtain. The rooms were
full of antique (古董) furniture and
vases. Carl thought, "If I got an antique vase, I could sell it for a lot
of money."
Every day Carl saw the professor. He
left at 10 o'clock in the morning and came back home at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. He had a dog. Carl often went to the fence and played with it or
gave it a piece of meat.
One day Carl thought, "I will go
into the professor's house and steal a vase. I will break the window and climb
in. The dog is not a problem."
There was an old gun in the cellar(地下室). It had been his great grandfather's favorite thing a long time
before. Carl didn't want to use the gun but he thought, "Anything could
happen."
He wanted to hide the gun under his
coat but it was too long so he had to cut the end off with a saw(锯).
The next morning he watched the
professor leaving home at 10 o'clock. Carl climbed over the fence. The dog ran
to him and Carl gave it a big bone. He threw a piece of stone through the
window, which broke. It wasn't high. He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside. There were
paintings on the walls, small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor. Carl
didn't know much about arts. He couldn't choose. He reached his hands towards a
big vase when he heard a noise. The front door opened and someone entered the
house.

document(文件) with him.

答案:Paragraph 1: It was the professor. He had forgotten to take an important document with him. Carl became so afraid that he pulled out the gun without thinking. The professor came into the room and saw him. "What are you doing in my house?" he asked surprisingly and angrily. "I haven't stolen anything. Just let me go or I will shoot. "cried Carl, pointing the gun at the professor with his trembling hands. Paragraph 2: The professor was scared. Suddenly, he burst into laughter. "With that gun?" asked the professor. Strangely, he didn't seem frightened of Carl any more. He continued. "You can't shoot with that antique gun. You should have put it in the museum actually. ""Is this really an antique gun?" Asked Carl. "How much is it worth?" "It was worth about 17, 000 dollars, "said the professor." But now you can get only 100 dollars for it. ""Why?" Asked Carl. The professor replied, "because its end is missing."
