Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood.When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
【小題1】Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?
A.He had just got a new cage. | B.He liked its beautiful feather. |
C.He wanted it to sing for him. | D.He wanted a pet for a companion. |
A.was frightened to death | B.a(chǎn)te the poisonous food its mother gave it |
C.refused to eat anything | D.drank the poisonous water by mistake |
A.a(chǎn) religious person | B.a(chǎn) kind person |
C.a(chǎn) schoolmaster | D.a(chǎn)n expert in birds |
A.Freedom is very valuable to all creatures. |
B.All birds put in a cage won’t live long. |
C.You should keep the birds from their mother. |
D.Be careful about food you give to baby birds. |

A 34-year-old mother has spoken of how she woke up thinking she was 15 years old and living in 1992.
Naomi Jacobs, from Manchester, was convinced she was still a teenager. In her mind, John Major was Prime Minister and George Bush Sr. was running the White House. She also showed how she screamed when a boy appeared and called her “Mum”. Mobile phones and e-mails were puzzling and Google, Facebook and YouTube sounded like made-up words, she said.
Ms. Jacobs, who had no memory of the years, was told by doctors that she had Transient Global Amnesia (TGA). She has now written a book about the experience which happened in 2008.
“I fell asleep in 1992 as a brave, very confident know-it-all-15-year-old, and woke up as a 32-year-old single mum living in a rented house,” Ms. Jacobs said. “The last thing I remember was falling asleep in my bed, dreaming about a boy in my class. When I woke up, I looked in the mirror and had the fright of my life when I saw an old woman with wrinkles staring back at me. Then a little boy appeared and started calling me Mum. That’s when I started to scream. I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t think he was much younger than I was, and I certainly didn’t remember giving birth to him. I began sobbing uncontrollably. I just wanted my mum. I couldn’t get my head around going to bed one night and waking up in a different century.”
TGA is a rare type of amnesia which can occur suddenly, affecting around three people per 100,000 each year. Fortunately, permanent memory loss is rare. Ms. Jacobs’ memory started to return after eight weeks.
Some people who often suffer from migraines (偏頭痛) also appear to be more likely to have TGA. The cause of TGA is unknown. Some think that it may be caused by a temporary cut of blood flow to parts of the brain involved in memory.
【小題1】When a little boy came to call her “Mum”, Naomi Jacobs was _____.
A.excited | B.frightened | C.worried | D.embarrassed |
A.She was a brave and confident girl. |
B.She met an old woman with wrinkles. |
C.George Bush Sr. was elected President. |
D.She fell asleep dreaming of a boy in her class. |
A.is quite common | B.is caused by brain injuries |
C.results in permanent memory loss | D.causes people to lose part of their memory |
A.Ms. Jacobs’ memory returned to normal now |
B.Ms. Jacobs often doesn’t remember things |
C.Ms. Jacobs has not got married yet |
D.Ms. Jacobs is very young now in deed |
