The lion had just lain down beside him, with his head warm onPatrick's feet, when his father cleared his throat and began,“You'll soon be eight, son. A boy needs a proper education. We'vefound the right place for you, a school near Salisbury inEngland.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, in fact, all Patrickcould think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “Whatabout the lion?” his father said, “I'm afraid there's somethingelse I have to tell you”. Looking across at his wife, the dad tooka deep breath. Then he told Patrick he had met a circus owner fromFrance, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He'd cometo their farm in a couple of days.
“No! You can't send him to a circus,” said Patrick. “People willcome to see him. He'll be shut up behind bars. I ever promised himhe never would be. And they will laugh at him. He'd rather die. Anyanimal would!” But as he looked across the table at his dad andmom, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Patrick felt completely betrayed. He waited till he heard hisdad's sound breathing next door.
With his lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pajamas,took down his father's rifle from the rack (搁物架) and stepped outinto the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. Asthe
sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hilland sat down, his arms round the lion's neck. The time hadcome.
“Be wild now,” he whispered. “You've got to be wild. Don't evercome home. All my life I'll think of you, I promise I will.” Heburied his head in the lion's neck. Then, Patrick clambered (艰难地爬)down off the hill and walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watchinghim; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down afterhim. Patrick shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks.He threw stones. Nothing worked.

Financed by taxes collected bythe federal government, the WPA created millions of jobs byundertaking the construction of roads, bridges, airports and otherpublic buildings. It kept workers in the job, thus preserving theirskills and their self-respect.

You watch a sad film and get caught up in your emotions. You cryyour eyes out at the dramatic plot — you feel sad for thecharacters if they suffer, or happy for them when they succeed. Itis only when the movie is over that you realize that what you werewatching is not real.
But why couldn't you accept that when you were so absorbed inthe movie? It was reported in
Science Daily this week that scientists at Case Western ReserveUniversity, US, discovered that people simply can not thinkemotionally and logically at the same time. Now scientists havefound
that thinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends ofa seesaw (跷跷板) —when we're busy thinking emotionally, the part ofthe brain used for cold and hard analysis is suppressed (抑制). Andit's also true the other way round.
To come to this conclusion, scientists gathered 45 people — menand women — to take brain
scans as they solved different kinds of puzzles. Scientistsfound that when participants were doing a math problem, the regionin their brain that is associated with logical thinking lit up, andwhen asked to make emotional decisions, the region for emotionalthinking lit up. But the most interesting part is that when askedto solve problems that required both logical and emotionalresponses, the participants always used one of the regions at atime while the other one went dark.
However, people sometimes ended up using the wrong one. Thisexplains why some people are good at solving complex math problemsbut have poor social skills and why even the smartest people gettaken in by fake but touching stories.
12. The author mentions “watching movies” at the beginning .
A. to prove emotional thinking is the most powerful
B. to introduce the research based on such kind ofexperience
C. to show that we are easily moved by something that is notreal
D. to explain that sometimes we only use emotional thinking
13. Scientists at Case Western Reserve University proved .
A. logical thinking works differently from emotionalthinking
B. logical thinking functions more efficiently than emotionalthinking
C. logical thinking and emotional thinking take turns to workindependently
D. logical thinking and emotional thinking could work well atthe same period
14. It can be inferred in Paragraph 2 that____.
A. people can analyze their emotions logically
B. the two ends of a seesaw can not work at the same time
C. when thinking emotionally, people can not look at thingslogically
D. when people are thinking, the brain can obtain an oppositefunction
15. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Don't cry over something unreal B. Movies and Feelings
C. To develop your logic well D. Your Heart vs. Your Mind
