Marie didn't like Eva's friendship with Tom, so she told her husband that she didn't want any smell of horses in the house. St Clare told Tom to stop working with the horses. Eva told her father she liked going for walks with Tom. So Tom had orders to leave what he was doing when Eva needed him. Eva and Tom spent a lot of time together.
Tom noticed that St Clare didn't look after his money and his house very well, and that he spent too much money on the wrong things. He started making some suggestions, and soon St Clare understood that Tom's business advice was very good. After some time Tom started to look after the house expenses（费用）.
Tom also noticed that his master didn't take anything seriously and didn't live well, and this worried him. One night St Clare went to a party where he drank too much. He came home very late, and Tom and another slave（奴隶）had to help him to get into bed. Tom went into his room and prayed（祈祷）for his master.
The morning after, St Clare gave Tom some money to do some business for him. Tom took the money but he didn't move.
“Well, Tom, what are you waiting for? ”said St Clare. “Is everything alright?”
“I'm afraid not, Master, ”said Tom.
“What's the problem? You look very serious.”
“I feel very bad, Master. I thought that Master was always going to be good to everybody.”
“Well, Tom, am I not? Do you need anything? ”
“No, Master is always good to me. But there is someone that Master isn't good to.”
“What do you mean? ”
“I thought about it last night. Master isn't good to himself.”
St Clare felt his face become red, then he laughed. “Oh, Tom！”said St Clare, with tears in his eyes. “Well, you're right. Never again, Tom, I promise.”

A
He wanted three months in a nice, warm prison, with food and good friends. This was how he usually spent his winters. And now it was time,
because, at night on his seat in the square, three newspapers did not keep
out the cold.
So Soapy decided to go to prison, and at once began to try his first plan. It was usually easy. He ate dinner in an expensive restaurant. Then he told them he had no money and they called a policeman. Nice and easy, with no trouble.
So Soapy left his seat, and walked slowly along the street. Soon he came to a bright restaurant on Broadway. Ah! This was all right. He just had to get to a table in the restaurant and sat down. That was all, because, when he sat down, people could only see his coat and his shirt, which were not very old. Nobody could see his trousers. He thought about the meal—not too
expensive, but good.
But when Soapy went into the restaurant, the waiter saw Soapy’s dirty old trousers and terrible shoes.
Strong hands turned him round and helped him out into the street again.
So now he had to think of something different. Soapy walked away from Broadway and soon he found himself on Six Avenue. He stopped in front of a shop window and looked at it. It was nice and bright, and everybody in the street could see him. Slowly and carefully he picked up a stone and threw it at the window. The glass broke with a loud noise. Soapy didn’t move and smiled. “I’ll be in prison now.” he thought.
The policeman came up to Soapy, “Who did that?” he asked.
“Perhaps I did,” Soapy replied.
But the policeman knew that people who broke windows did not stop to talk to the policeman. They ran away. And just then the policeman saw another man, who was running to catch a bus. So the policeman ran after him. Soapy watched for a minute. Then he walked away. No luck again! He began to feel cross (愤怒).

A
It was one of the honest days of the dry season. There was no rain for about a month. Cows stopped giving milk. On this day I saw a wonder.
I was making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son Billy walking very slowly to the woods. Minutes later, he ran to the house. Soon after that, I saw him walking to the woods again. This went
on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.
Billy cupped（窝成杯状）both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head to drink the water in my boy's hands.
When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy turned it on and let the water slowly fill up his "cup". When he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes were filled with tears. "I'm not wasting water, Mum," he said. I joined him with a bottle of water from the kitchen.

Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩) , you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
41. You may find the passage in __________.
A. a science magazine
B. a guide book
C. a sports newspaper
D. a story book
42. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?
