Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day?

When he wanted to steal the bell on his neighbour’s door, he walked up to the door,

took hold of(抓) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief

was afraid and went home.

Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He

thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears.

Then I won’t be able to hear the noise.” The next day he went to the door of his

neighbour, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang

out. Just then the neighbour came running out. “Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a

You may have heard of snipers (狙击手), or seen snipers in movies and computer

games. They are people who can shoot and kill from a long distance. But do you know

that we have real snipers in our police?

Early this month, a man kidnapped a little girl with a knife in Beijing. Police

came to talk to him, but he didn’t let the girl go and was hurting the girl. A sniper

shot him dead.

In Beijing, there are over 300 police snipers. They work 24 hours a day, seven

days a week to protect the capital.

How do snipers get trained? What are their lives like? An expert（专家）with

the Beijing sniper team shares some of the team’s secrets with us.

Q: How do you choose snipers?

A: We choose snipers from the Beijing police. There are no strict rules about

the height and weight of our snipers, but they must have very good eyesight. The

weapon(武器) they use is around 3.5 kg. Sometimes snipers need to hold it for hours.

So, snipers need to have a strong body. They also need to pass written psychology

(心理) tests.

Q: What is the most important quality of a sniper?

A: A good state of mind. Snipers need to be calm all the time. Sometimes, they

may get ready for shooting for a whole day. They cannot talk, eat or drink during

that time.

Q: What kind of training do snipers usually get?

A: The practice they often get is 100 meters distance shooting. They practice

shooting in all kinds of weather, including windy and snowy days.

Q: Is it possible that a sniper may miss his target (目标)?

A: That is not possible. The only standard for being a sniper is to take a life

with one bullet (子弹).

However, snipers are not killers. They only pull the trigger (扣动扳机) when

they have to.

( )1. Which of the following is NOT true about the snipers?
