Too many places, in fact. It simply isn’t credible that the same unlikely events take place in so many different towns. For some reason, though, that particular set of events appeals to the imagination and the tale spreads.A very common North American urban legend concerns a mad man in the woods. A dangerous mad man has escaped from a hospital for the mentally ill. At some point in his life he has lost a hand and it has been replaced by a hook.. A boy and a girl are out dating, sitting in a car. They hear on the radio that the area is dangerous, so they drive off. When they arrive home they find a blood stained hook hanging on the door handle of the car door next to the girl.Missing kidney （肾）stories are fairly common. Of course, the details are variable. It might be a woman waking up in a strange hotel in Bangkok, or a man finding himself in a cold bath in Toronto, or a young man with faint memories of wild disco party, but they all find a fresh wound, and discover that one of their kidneys has been removed and, probably, sold.The back seat killer has plenty of drama. A woman gets into her car late at night. Another car follows her, speeding, flashing lights and really frightening her. She gets home and keeps on pressing the horn. Her husband runs out. The chasing car stops. The husband demands to knowwhy the driver has been frightening his wife. He says he saw a strange man get into the back of the car as the wife got in , and then hide. They go and look, and there is a dangerous mad man…1. What is the writer’s attitude towards “urban legends”?A. Curious.B. Disgusted.C. Frightened.D. Doubtful.2. What can be inferred from the hook hanging on the car door?A. The mad man left it there as a warning.B. The mad man narrowly escaped being injured in a car accident.C. The mad man had just been about to attack the girl.D. The boy had meant to frighten the girl with it.3. What do we know about the three people mentioned in the third paragraph?A. They are drugged and their kidney removed.B. They sell their kidneys for profit.C. They are suffering loss of memories.D. They have been wounded before.4. Why does the woman driver keep on pressing the horn?A. To warn the other driver not to follow her.B. To give herself enough courage to face the danger.C. To made her husband aware of something urgent.D. To inform her family of her safe return.5. How should we describe the second driver in the 4th paragraph?A. CrazyB. Dangerous.C. Brave.D. Helpful.试题答案一、单词拼写1. height2.
