Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When
reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted
forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously.
However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the
Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people
who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman
picking blackberries saw ‘a large cat’ only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw
it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved
difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles
away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.
Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people
complained of ‘cat-like noises’ at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The
experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas
had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a
private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was
not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

第三册主要还是故事,记叙文。第四册就是议论文和说明文了。我有一个网友不知道是专业课还是补习班,把每篇文章的背景材料都弄出来了,还本本都去读。
你没兴趣阿。里面有奥威尔,罗素,还有写菊与刀的那个作者的文章,还不是那么无趣。当然,学完了,我也没什么长进。

高中英语里也有一篇狮子从动物园里逃出来,跑到一位女士家的故事。不过这里学过的人应该不多。
