Mutilated ladies
残钞鉴别组
Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why did Jane cook John's wallet?
Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever put your
trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was
a large bank note in your back pocket? When you rescued your
trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white? People
who live in Britain needn't despair when they make mistakes
like this and a lot of people do! Fortunately for them, the
Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which
deals with claims from people who fed their money to a
machine or to their dog. Dogs, it seems, love to chew up
money!
A recent case concerns Jane Butlin whose fiancé, John,
runs a successful furniture business. John had a very good
day and put his wallet containing ￡3,000 into the microwave

1 Lesson1 A puma at large
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into
London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not
taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt
obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma
were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a
large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts
confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning
and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail

1新概念英语第三册（共60课） Lesson1 A puma at large Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar. The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside. 新概念英语第三册
