因为受到美国繁荣的吸引，我的侄子与一名韩国人合作，从北极的白令
海峡偷渡到美国。为了避开海关的惩处，他们躲在一艘叫“北极海鸥”的
渡轮里，背靠背坐着，整整3天没有睡觉、洗澡和刮胡子，上岸的时候也没
有机会心痛他们丢失的行李，这次横渡的艰辛是显而易见的。
起初，他借助饲养牲畜谋生，后来受雇于飞机制造工业。他住的地方是
一个天主教区，除了包括一小部分（百分比）的巴基斯坦移民，大部分的
居民都来自于意大利和丹麦，他们都保持着自己的风俗和文化，使这里的
街区都从种族的角度清楚地划出界线，明确标示。这很不公平，极需改革，
但我的侄子没别的地方可去，只好继续居住下去，想法设法开始新的生活。
我侄子的好运在他勇敢地帮助一名列车员刹停一列电车以防止其滑
出轨道时到来了。那个人后来被选为社会党的副主席，我侄子就想到应该
抓住机会请求他的帮助。这个人充满感激，立即把我侄子的勇敢事迹插入
到申请文件中，帮助我侄子向美国国内政权当局申请美国居住权。不像别
的许多申请人，我侄子的申请很快被联邦司法部批准了。不久，他就开了
自己的面包店，过上了稍好一点的生活。

When interviewed，the scientist stared at the8.______________

对双生的克隆火鸡孵化出来，羽毛和爪子都很正常。这一突破或许能让人
们使他们喜爱的宠物死而复生。然而，使他不时地烦恼的是，因为它们无

个星期，克隆体和母体都死亡了，这使他内心里充满了挫折，他也因此在
达到自己目标前就退休了，并选择加入歌剧合唱团来减轻消沉的感觉。
之后不久，媒体就因为道德问题而发表了反对克隆的保守论点，并且建议
宪法应该包括强制性的法规禁止通过克隆获得商业利益。
当被采访时，科学家盯着天花板上的装饰物思考了一会儿，说：“我不赞
成任何任意的假设，但是从事克隆与用面粉制作面包的简单过程确实不大
相同。在我们积累了足够的准确知识前，任何实际操作都是徒劳无功的，
注定会失败。总而言之，更加谨慎地对待克隆是合理的，否则我们或许会
误入歧途。”

一位大使和一位裁判正在就一张佛教符号表的文字说明请教教授，这
时，一名哭哭啼啼的女人把他们拦住，要卖给他们一个古董音乐澡盆，她
肮脏的衣服和腰间的手帕都急需送到洗衣店清洗。大使很不舒服地从钱包
里掏出一把便士说：“把这大笔钱拿走，麻烦的女人！”
等她的身影渐渐远去，那位才华横溢的教授说：“你错了，你对她不适
当的评论语应该受到谴责。就这个不同寻常的女人来说，你不能根据她糟
糕的衣服或令人恶心的指甲给她的身份地位分类。她干净的羊毛背心和袜
子，尤其是她一流的发音，都暗示着她的上层身份。”大使惊奇地吹了声
口哨，建议去认识她。教授犹豫了一会儿，最后妥协了。
结果呢，她真的是一位高级警官。当他们被带进她的办公室再次见到
她时，她给他们拿来一壶茶和一些饼干，笑着说：“我把奶油和蜡涂在大
衣上假扮成寒酸肮脏的女人混进在小偷和抢劫犯中间，是为了调查一宗阴
谋。通常说来，你们对我的忽视和我对此的适应就是最好的帮助。但是我
的发音似乎暴露了我啊。”

那位学院的教授在发表关于标点符号重要意义的演讲时被警察打断了，
他因谋杀自己的妻子——一位幼儿园的接待员——而被逮捕。警察找到了
一些被他从电子相册里删除的照片，照片表明，他们曾经有过快乐的生活
，但是，因为厌烦了妻子起皱的脸，他杀死她而不是和她离婚以避免离婚
时的财产分割。他用一把磨利的小刀切碎一种贝壳，然后在滑板上锤打成
粉末，最多1克就足以加速人的脉搏直到其死亡。这种毒药可以追溯到公
元前10，000年，当时它就被涂抹在长予上杀死野兽。教授把这种毒药混
合在洋葱、西瓜和酸奶里给他的妻子，后者叫喊、抓挠胸口、头晕目眩，
很快就死了。
在初步检查之后，警察设想她是死于心脏病。但是系统的植物学分析
却表明，吐在凌乱的席子和被子上的西瓜有毒。敏锐而又技术娴熟的警察
不顾疲劳和饥饿，用放射性的设备确定了毒素的种类。尽管可供选择的设
备原始，且数量不足，他们还是设法取得了完美的准确度。
人们都为警察欢呼鼓掌，而那位女人的家人现在也可以带着欣慰为将来
打算了。
