【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 案。4．閱讀理解 Make way, good people, make way, in the King39。s name! cried he. Open a text。 and, I promise you, Mistress Prynne shall be set where man, woman, and child, may have a fair sight of her brave clothing, from this time till an hour past noon. A blessing on the moral Colony of the Massachusetts, where immorality is dragged out into the sunshine! Come along, Madam Hester, and show your scarlet （鮮紅色的；罪孽深重的）letter in the marketplace! A lane was at once opened through the crowd. Led by the beadle （獄吏），and attended by an irregular procession of seriouslooking men and unkindlooking women, Hester Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment. A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of the matter in hand, except that it gave them a halfholiday, ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face, and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the shameful letter on her breast. It was no great distance, in those days, from the prisondoor to the marketplace. Measured by the prisoner39。s experience, however, it might be considered to be a rather long journey。 for, though her manner was proud, she perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every footstep of those who thronged to see her, as if her heart had been thrown into the street for them all to step upon. In our nature, however, there is a condition that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that rankles （使痛心）after it. With almost a calm manner, therefore, Hester Prynne passed through this portion of her suffering, and came to a sort of scaffold （刑臺(tái)），at the western end of the marketplace. It stood nearly beneath the eaves of Boston39。s earliest church, and appeared to be a fixture there.（1）What can we know about the schoolboys?

A lot of us e home without realizing we are bringing the war home with us, said Josh Marino, a veteran (退伍兵)of the Iraq war who suffered the effects of PTSD of suicide . I didn39。t want to deal with it anymore, Marino said. He wrote a goodbye note, grabbed a knife and went outside for a final cigarette in the rain. But then, from the deepest depth of despair came hope. Meowing out of the bushes next to him came a stray black and white kitten (小貓) which, according to Marino, just walked up and started rubbing up against my leg and let me pet him. I came to life again and I broke down crying. I burst into tears. From this accidental encounter everything changed. Marino found a new purpose in life through the friendly cat, who he named Scout, and who he credits with saving his life. I stopped thinking about all my problems, and started thinking about all his problems, and what I could do to help him, Marino said. The bond between them was instant，but that wasn39。t the end of the story. Marino has made a video of his and Scout39。s remarkable story of healing and heartbreak which you can watch on the Internet. The story is dedicated to showing how animals can help humans through tough times, as well as humans can help them. It is a beautiful story that is sure to tug at your heart strings, showing just how powerful the bond between humans and animals can be. We love it, and we hope you do too!（1）What can we get from the first two paragraphs?
