On a June afternoon in 1752， the sky began to get dark over the city． As the storm broke， most people surely hurried inside， but not Benjamin． Franklin． He decided it was the perfect time to fly a kite． Franklin had been waiting for a chance like this． He wanted to show the connection between lightning（闪电） and electricity，and to do so， he needed a storm．
He walked into field， and flew a kite with a piece of rope tied to it． A key was tied to the rope． The lightning hit the kite， and electricity passed through the rope to the key． Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock（电击）． This， he said， proved（证明） the electrical nature of lightning．
For many years， schools have taught the story of Franklin's experiment． Millions of schoolchildren have been amazed by his courage and his scientific spirit of looking for the truth． However， new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact． Although Franklin's experiment took place， more than one scientist has questioned what really happened．It's true that he did the experiment with the rope and the key． But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key， he would certainly have died from the electric shock．
Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to find out the facts． Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton's head． Many reports suggest that although the falling apple certainly provided ideas，there is nothing to show that the apple actually hit him on the head，
In fact， fiction is often more interesting than the truth．People have been more encouraged by Franklin's spirit than by the facts themselves． But in science， facts should be tested by experiments and research， and we should not always believe everything we read or hear even if it is a great story．
（1）Franklin did the experiment in order to prove ．
A． he was an excellent scientist
B． flying a kite in the storm was safe
C． he was not afraid of lightning
D． lightning was a form of electricity
（2）The underlined word "fiction" probably means something ．
A． not true
B． quite different
C． not safe
D． quite necessary
（3）Some scientists questioned whether Franklin in the experiment．
A． flew a kite
B． touched the key
C． was present
D． discovered electricity
（4）The purpose of the passage is to tell us ．
A． Franklin's spirit is encouraging
B． fiction is more interesting than the truth
C． Franklin's experiment is not real
D． we shouldn't always believe accepted ideas
My father， who was always drunk and angry， beat me more and more every day． He always locked the door when he went away and kept the key in this pocket． One day I found an old saw（锯子） that he hid in the roof． When I was alone in the house，I started to make a hole on the floor under the big table．
The next day my father said，"Huck， go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast． Quickly! And don't try anything． Remember， I'm watching you!"
While I was fishing by the river， I saw an empty boat nearby．
"A boat!" I thought happily，"This is my chance to escape． I'll hide the boat near some trees and use it tonight!"
When my father went to town that afternoon， I got my saw and started to work on the hole． It was late afternoon when I finished making the hole．
"I did a good job，"I thought， looking at the hole． "Now I'll get my father's gun．
I looked outside the window and there was nobody there． I quickly escaped through the hole． Then I ran into the woods to hunt a wild pig． Luckily， I found one． I shot it and took it back to the house and let the pig's blood fall on the wooden floor of the house． Then I pulled some of my hair out and put it on my father's axe（斧子） with some of the pig's blood． I took the pig's body outside and put it in a big bag with some rocks， and threw it into the river．
"This way people will think__▲__ !"I thought． "They'll come and look for my body in the river．"This idea made me smile．
I waited until it was dark and got into the boat and went to Jackson's Island． I knew about Jackson's Island because Tom， Ben， Joe and I had a lot of fun adventures there．
