A woman was caught trying to get her boyfriend out of Puente Ayala prison by packing him in a large suitcase. They almost got away with it, but guards became suspicious after seeing the woman struggling with the suitcase.

25-year-old Souda arrived at the Puente Ayala prison in Barcelona, Venezuela, last weeks, to visit her boyfriend, Jose Antonio, who was serving a sentence of 9 years and 8 months for stealing cars. She had brought their six-year-old daughter and a large pink suitcase, which is common for an overnight stay by family members in South American prison. Little did the guards know that Souda and Jose Antoni were planning to leave the prison together the next day, as a big happy family.

Their plan seemed to go smoothly as the woman carrying the bright pink baggage didn’t attract the guards’ attention, but it failed when they finally noticed the short woman struggling to pull the seemingly light suitcase out of the door. They stopped Souda and asked her to open the suitcase so they could check its items. Left with no choice but to meet the guards’ demand, the woman opened the suitcase to show young Jose Antonio looking like a professional contortionist (專業(yè)柔術(shù)演員)and covered with different clothing items.

Puente Ayala guards sent the car thief back to the prison. Souda has been caught by guards and is waiting for official charges, and the couple’s six-year-old daughter, Mary, has been placed in the care of social services.

If only Souda had gone to the gym to improve her strength before going through escaping from prison with her lover, things might have gone differently.

1.The underlined word “suspicious” in Paragraph 1 can be best replaced by_____.

A. pleased B. doubtful

C. worried D. violent

2.Where did Souda put her husband while leaving the prison?

A. In a car. B. In a box

C. In a suitcase. D. In a bag

3.Mary lives in the care of social services because______.

A. she broke the law

B. her parents’ marriage has ended

C. her parents are both caught by guards

D. her mother is busy building up her body

4.What can we learn from the text?

A. Souda and her daughter stayed in the prison for a night

B. Souda has escaped from punishment by law

C. Jose Antonio made a living by selling cars once

D. Jose Antonio was a professional contortionist.

I can’t tell you how excited I was when I joined my first book club, but I can tell you how much I immediately regretted it. Don’t get me wrong. I love book clubs of course.1.To avoid this continuous and unpleasant matter, and to look smart in the club as well, I have a few tricks to share with you.

1. Make a good excuse for not reading the book.

Some of your club friends might try to shame you for not reading the book.2.. And it is absolutely weong. The best way to defend yourself is to come up with a strong, thoughtful excuse for not reading it.

2.3.

The Kindle app for your Android or iPhone actually records the most quoted passages by all readers. Simply do a quick Google search for “most quoted passages”＋ “the name of the book” and see what comes up. Make sure you’re the first to speak up. When you read the quote, read it forcefully, taking long, thoughtful pauses.

3. Pick an opinion

4.There, you’ll find lots of opinions on the book, which range from glowing to inspiring; simply pick one and use it as your own during the book discussion. This way you don’t have to read the book or think for yourself.

4. Always vote for books that are also movies

Fight hard for books with a movie version. And make sure it’s a short movie you can easily watch while sleeping on the couch. When someone complains that the book you want to read is also a movie –act surprised.

5.You are sure to make yourself look smart. Anyway book clubs are great social platforms, which provide an enjoyable and meaningful addition to your social calendar(日歷).

A. Read a quote aloud and slowly.

B. Make your book look worn.

C. I just hate reading and talking to people.

D. Find a suitable website and look up the very book.

E. This is called “didn’t read the book shaming.”

F. You’re deeply considering everything being said.

G. In short, you’ll never feel embarrassed with the tricks.
