Urban legends are stories that are told and believed in many places．Too many places，in fact．It simply isn’t credible that the same unlikely events take place in so many different towns．For some reason，though，that particular set of events appeals to the imagination and the tale spreads．

   A very common North American urban legend concerns a mad man in the woods．A dangerous mad man has escaped from a hospital for the mentally ill．At some point in his life he has lost a hand and it has been replaced by a hook．A boy and a girl are out dating，sitting in a car．They hear on the radio that the area is dangerous，so they drive off．When they arrive home they find a bloodstained hook hanging on the door handle of the car door next to the girl．

    Missing kidney(腎)stories are fairly common．Of course，the details are variable．It might be a woman waking up in a strange hotel in Bangkok，or a man finding himself in a cold bath in Toronto．or a young man with faint memories of wild disco party，but they all find a flesh wound，and discover that one of their kidneys has been removed and，probably, sold．

    The back seat killer has plenty of drama．A woman gets into her Car late at night．Another car follows her, speeding，flashing lights and really frightening her．She gets home and keeps on pressing the horn．Her husband runs out．The chasing car stops．The husband demands to know why the driver has been frightening his wife．He says he saw a strange man get into the back of the car as the wife got in，and then hide．They go and look，and there is a dangerous mad man...

41．What is the writer’s attitude towards “urban legends”?

閱讀理解。
     Have you heard about the woman who put her wet dog in the microwave (微波爐) to dry it, and ended up
cooking her dog by mistake? Or did you hear about the man who died at his desk at work, and nobody in the
office noticed he was dead for five days? These stories have two things in common. They both are not true,
and they both are urban legends (傳聞).
     Usually, legends are stories of events from long ago. Urban legends, on the other hand, are stories in the
recent past, perhaps even last week! Urban legends are that there are many different versions (版本) of the
same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become
a common way for urban legends to spread very quickly.
     A good example of an urban legend is the story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was
popular to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levi's sold special jeans that shrank (縮水) when you washed
them. According to the story, a girl wanted to make her jean as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water.
Unluckily, they shrank so much that the girl died. In fact, this legend came from a Levi's advertisement on TV.
In the TV ad, a man stepped into the water and his tight jeans became the right size.
     However, some stories that sound like urban legends really come from real events. For example, there is a
story about muggers (搶劫者) using snakes to rob people. There have been real reports about this. The muggers
hold a snake in a person's face and then take the person's money. According to the legend, these muggers are
very common, so you should keep an eye out for (密切注意) strangers carrying snakes.
1. What's the main idea of the passage?
[     ]
A. It tells readers some surprising stories.
B. It tells readers what urban legends are.
C. It tells readers how to make up urban legends.
D. It tells readers a TV ad.
2. The passage tells us that urban legends _____.
[     ]
A. usually take place in the country, or in small towns
B. have the same version in different places
C. none of them come from real events
D. are immediately known because of the Internet
3. What happened to the girl in the jeans story?
[     ]
A. She shrank.
B. She played a part in a TV ad.
C. Her jeans became too small.
D. A man stepped into the water, too.
4. Which story in the passage really happened?
[     ]
A. The dog in the microwave.
B. The dead man in the office.
C. The girl killed by her jeans.
D. The muggers using snakes.
