Listen to the tape then answer the question below.

听录⾳,然后回答以下问题。Why was Rastus 'very dear' in more ways than one?

Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay's cat. Mrs.

Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years. Rastus leads an

orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One evening, however, he

failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.

There days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus was in

safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000. Mrs. Ramsay was instructed to

place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door. At first she decided to go to the police, but fearing that

she would never see Rastus again -- the letter had made that quite clear -- she changed her mind. She withdrew $1000 from

her bank and followed the kidnapper's instructions. The next morning, the box had disappeared but Mrs. Ramsay was sure

that the kidnapper would keep his word. Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening. He looked

very well though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk. The police were astounded when Mrs. Ramsay told

them what she had done. She explained that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in

more ways than one!

参考译⽂

绑架者很少对动物感兴趣。最近,绑架者却盯上了埃莉诺.拉姆齐太太的猫。埃莉诺.拉姆齐太太是⼀个⾮常富有的⽼妇⼈,多

年来,⼀直同她养的猫拉斯⼀起住在⼀所公寓⾥。拉斯特斯⽣活很有规律,傍晚常常出去溜达⼀会⼉,并且总是在7点钟以前

回来。可是,有⼀天晚上,它出去后再也没回来。拉姆齐太太急坏了,四处寻找,但没有找着。

拉斯特斯失踪3天后,拉姆齐太太收到⼀封匿名信。写信⼈声称拉斯特斯安然⽆恙,只要拉姆齐太太愿意⽀付1,000 英镑赎

⾦,可以⽴即将猫送还。他让拉姆齐太太把钱放在⼀个纸盒⾥,然后将纸盒放在门⼝。⼀开始拉姆齐太太打算报告警察,但⼜

害怕再也见不到拉斯特斯——这点,信上说得⼗分明⽩——于是便改变了主意。她从银⾏取出1,000 英镑,并照绑架者的要求

做了。第⼆天早晨,放钱的盒⼦不见了。但拉姆齐太太确信绑架者是会履⾏诺⾔的。果然,当天晚上7点正,拉斯特斯准时回

来了。它看上去⼀切正常,只是⼝渴得很,喝了半瓶⽜奶。拉姆齐太太把她所做的事告诉了警察,警察听后⼤为吃惊。拉姆齐

太太解释说她⼼疼她的猫拉斯特斯。想到她所花的那笔钱,她的⼼疼就具有双重意义了。
