The Wolf in Sheeps Clothing
A wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and
thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt and strolled down among the sheep. The lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the wolf was wearing, began to follow the
wolf in the sheep’s clothing; so, leading the lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal of her, and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep and enjoying hearty meals.
F. FIFTH CHALLENGE Read and listen to the following story. Pay attention to its structure and the

The Faithful Lovers
The following story will be special for each of you who want to know the real meaning of love.
Hmm, there once lived a chiefs daughter who had many admirers. All the young men in the village wanted to have her for a wife and were all eager to fill her skin bucket
when she went to the brook for water. There was a young man in the village. He was a good hunter; but he was poor and
had a mean family. He loved the maiden and wished he could marry her. So, one day when she went for water, he threw his robe over her head while he whispered in her ear:
“Will you marry me?”
For a long time the maiden acted as if she hadn’t heard anything, but one day she whispered back saying that she would be willing to marry him if he took a scalp.
So he made a war party of seven, himself and six other young men. Before they started, they sat down to smoke and rest beside a beautiful lake at the foot of a green
knoll that rose from its shore. The knoll was covered with green grass and somehow as they looked at it they had a feeling that there was something about it that was mysterious
or uncanny.
One of the lover’s friends was so curious about it that he ventured into the knoll. Four of the young men followed. Having reached to the top of the knoll, all five began to
jump and stamp about in sport. But, suddenly they stopped. The knoll had begun to move toward the water. It was
a gigantic turtle The five men cried out in alarm and tried to run, but it was too late They cried; but the others could do nothing. In just a few moments, the waves had closed
over them.

The other two men: the lover and his friend, went on, but with heavy hearts. After some days, they came to a river. Worn out with fatigue, the lover threw himself down on
the bank. Fortunately, the lover’s friend came up to help him. The following day, his friend told him that he found a fish which he had cleaned
and asked him to eat the fish together. The lover said that if he ate the fish, his friend had to promise to fetch him all the water that he could drink. When they had eaten, the kettle
was rinsed out and the lover’s friend brought it back with full of water. The lover drank the water at a draught. Again his friend filled the kettle at the river and again the lover
drank it dry but still asked for more water. The lover’s friend then took the lover to the river. When the lover saw the river, he walked to the river, sprang in, and lying down in
the water with his head toward land, drank greedily.
Then, he called out his friend. The friend came and was amazed to see that the lover was now a fish from his feet to his middle. Sick at heart, he ran off a little away and
threw himself upon the ground in grief. After a while, he returned to find that the lover was now a fish up to his neck.
The friend went home and told his story. There was great mourning over the death of the five young men and for the lost lover. In the river, the lover had become a great
fish and its fin was just above the surface. Canoes had to be portaged at great labor around the obstruction.
Meanwhile, the chief’s daughter mourned for her lover as for a husband and nobody could comfort her. Day by day, she sat inside her mother’s tepee with her head
covered with her robe, silent, working, and working. Whenever her mother asked, the maiden did not reply.
The days lengthened into moons until a year had passed. And then the maiden arose. She left her mother’s tepee with holding lots of things in her hands. There were
three pairs of moccasins, three pairs of leggings, three belts, three shirts, three head dresses with beautiful feathers, and sweet smelling tobacco.
One day she had a new canoe made. Then, the next morning she stepped into the canoe and floated slowly down the river toward the great fish. Her canoe came and
stopped to the place where the great fin arose. One by one she laid her presents on the fishs back, scattering the feathers and tobacco over his broad spine.
“Oh, fish,” she cried, “oh, fish, you who were my lover, I shall not forget you.. Because you were lost for love of me, I shall never marry. All my life I shall remain a
widow. Take these presents. And now leave the river, and let the waters run free, so my people may once more descend in their canoes.” Slowly the great fish sank, his broad fin
disappeared, and the waters of the St. Croix Stillwater were free.
Hand in Hand A. FIRST PROJECT
Work in groups of four. Read and listen to the following story. Pay attention to the speaker’s intonation. Then, answer the questions.
Here is a story for you to enjoy. Listen Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a
good shot and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use an arrow to a good advantage.
Tape script Look Ahead 3 6
The bear was very unkind to the rabbit. Every morning, the bear would call over to the rabbit and ask the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and come with the bear to the
other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear’s anger by refusing, consented and went
with the bear. The rabbit shot enough buffalo to satisfy the bear’s family. Indeed, he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had
loaded themselves and packed all they could carry home.
However, the bear was so greedy and evil that he didn’t allow the rabbit to get any of the meat. The poor rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering, as the
bear would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day’s work.
The bear was the father of five children. The youngest boy was very kind to the rabbit. Knowing that the youngest boy was a very hearty eater, the mother bear always
gave him an extra large piece of meat. Instead of eating this extra meat, the youngest bear would take the meat outside and pretend to play ball with it, kicking it toward the rabbits
house, and when he got close to the door he would give the meat such a great kick that it would fly into the rabbits house. In this way the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown
to the papa bear.
Unit 2
Getting Started B. ACTIVE LISTENING
Read and listen to a text about a pipeline and pay attention to the intonation. Circle the right action verbs used in the text. Then, fill in the table.
Have you ever heard about a pipeline in computer technology? Guess what. Right. A pipeline is very close to a computer. But can you tell me what a pipeline is? Well, let
me explain. A pipeline in a computer is a sequence of stages a computer uses to carry out instructions.
The CPU makes sure every stage in a pipeline is always operating on an instruction. As a stage of a pipeline in the CPU finishes manipulating an instruction, it
hands its instruction to the next stage and gets another instruction from the stage before it, moving several instructions along the pipeline simultaneously. This process is more
efficient than it would be if each instruction had to start at the first stage after the previous instruction finished the final stage.
Oh, I almost forgot, the more pipelines a CPU has, the faster it can execute instructions. A CPU with two or more pipelines is said to be a super pipelined or
superscalar. Okay. Have you got it? Not yet. How about going to the library and searching for more explanations about a pipeline? See you and good luck.
