One day an out of work mimic(滑稽演员) is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw the crowd，a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper explains to the mimic that the zoo's most popular attraction，a gorilla(大猩猩)，has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mimic a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mimic accepts.

So the next morning the mimic puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep all he wants，play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mimic. However，eventually the crowds tire of him and he tires of just swinging on wires. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience，he climbs to the top of his cage，crawls across a partition(隔离物)，and dangles from the top to the lion's cage. Of course，this makes the lion very angry，but the crowd loves it.

At the end of the day the zoo keeper comes and gives the mimic a raise for being such a good attraction. Well，this goes on for some time－the mimic keeps taunting the lion，the crowds grow larger，and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the angry lion he slips and falls. The mimic is terrified.

The lion gathers itself and prepares to attack. The mimic is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind. Finally，the mimic starts screaming and yelling，“Help me，help me！”But the lion is quick and attacks. The mimic soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says，“Shut up，you idiot！Do you want to get us both fired？”

短文续写

Once upon a time, in a small town, a man stole some money from a house. The police began to look for the thief. After two days, they found him. They brought him to the police station and found some of the money in his coat.

There was a new policeman at the police station, and they wanted to give him some work.

“Take this thief to the city,” said one of them.” You must go there by train. It will leave very soon. Don’t be late.

“The policeman and the thief went to the station. On their way, they came to a shop selling bread.

“We have no food, and we must eat something on the train,” said the thief. “It’s a long way to the city, and it will take a long time to get there. I’ll go into this shop and buy some bread. Then you and I can eat it on the train. Wait here for me.

The policeman was happy. “At least I’ll have some food on the train,” he thought. “Be quick,” he said to the thief. “We don’t have much time.”

The thief went into the shop, and the policeman waited in the street for a long time. He began to worry. He thought about the train, and at last, he went into the shop.

“Where’s that man who came to buy some bread?” asked the policeman.

“Oh. he went out of the back door,” said the shopkeeper.

The policeman ran outside, but he could not find the thief. So, he had to go back to the police station and tell the others what had happened. They were very angry with him, and he was very unhappy.

All the policemen in the town began to look for the thief again, and they soon caught him. They brought him back to the police station and called the same policeman.
