California-- Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson expressed her anger and impatience with
President Bush last spring on her web page on MySpaee. com. She posted a picture of the president,
wrote "Kill Bush'across the top and drew a sword stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her
page after learning in her eighth-grede history class that such threats are a federal offense.
It was too late. Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They
finally reached her this week in her biology class. The 14-year-old was taken out of class Wednesday and
questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who
said the agents should have included them when questioning their daughter.
The teenager said the agents' questioning led her to tears. "I wasn't dangerous," said Wilson, an
honor student who describes herself as politically enthusiastic. "I'm a peace-loving person. I'm against
the war in Iraq. I'm not going to kill the president."
Her mother, Kirstie Wilson, said two agents showed up at the family's home Wednesday afternoon,
questioned her and promised to return once her daughter was home from school.
After they left, Kirstie Wilson sent a text message to her daughter's cell phone, asking her to come
straight home and telling her that two men from the secret service wanted to talk with her.
But moments later, Kirsfie Wilson received a text message from her daughter saying agents had
pulled her out of class.
Julia Wilson said the agents threatened her, saying she could be sent to court for making the threat.
"They yelled at me a lot," she said. "They were unnecessarily mean."
Wilson and her parents said the agents were justified in questioning her over her MySpace. eom
posting. But they said the agents went too far by not waiting until she was out of school and the agents
should have more quickly figured out they weren't dealing with a real danger.
Assistant Principal Paul Robinon said the agents gave him the impression the girl's mother knew
they were planning to question her daughter at school. There is no legal requirement that parents be
notified.
"This has been an on-going problem," said Ann Brick, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties
Union in San Francisco.
Former governors Pete Wilson and Gray Davis vetoed (否决) bills that would have required that
parents give pemaission or be present when their children are questioned at schoul by law enforcement
officers,

When Nathan Winograd announced that he was leaving his job as a lawyer in California to nm an
animal shelter in Tompkins County, New York, his father looked at him for a long minute and then
asked, "What do dogs and eats need a lawyer for?"
The move meant giving up eight weeks' vacation, an office with a view of the San Francisco Bay and a big house among the redwoods, and moving to a rural area known for its harsh winters. But Winograd' s wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. So they packed everything they owned, and with two young children, plus two dogs, and a bunch of cats Winograd had rescued, drove cross-country.
On the second day, they had no room for six more puppies they received. They found an old horse
trough, failed it with hay and nestled the animals inside. They placed it next to the front desk, and within
a day or two, all six had homes, adopted by people who walked into the shelter and couldn' t resist.
Blind dogs, eats with missing limbs-- all find homes. "There is no dog or cat too old, too ugly or
too undesirable not to be adopted by someone," says Winograd.
Today, Tompkins County is considered the only no-kill county in the United States. Nine out of ten
dogs and cats that come through the shelter doors axe saved. Only animals with incurable injuries or illnesses, and the truly evil, are put down. The national average is half of all dogs and 70 percent of
cats, totaling more than four million animals last year alone.
Even though he drives an old car that leaks when it rains, and his family lives on a tight budget
while his classmates from Stanford Law earn six-figure salaries, Winograd says he' s doing what he' d
always wanted to 'do when he grew up: nm an animal shelter and save all the animals.
As a young district lawyer, he kept his goal in mind, starting when he raised his first animal cruelty
case. A man was accused of intentionally setting his brown cat on fire. Winograd made his case, and the
abusive owner was sentenced to prison.
It was the first of many such cases, and he raised each with vigor. But the senseless violence,
neglect and ignorance never failed to shock him. He decided simply, "I need to get to the other side and
start saving these animals."
Now, Winograd is helping to save thousands, even millions. "I'm convinced that a no-kill nation is
possible. I'm just here trying to shorten the time until it arrives."
60. What was his father' s response when Nathan Winograd left his job as a lawyer in California?
A. He was all for it. B. He was strongly against it.
C. He was greatly pnzzled. D. He was very angry.
61. How did Winograd successfully save so many animals?
A. He kept all the rejected animals in a large shelter.
B. He let the aniamls adopted by people who visited the shelter.
C. He sold some of the animals and get some money.
D. He delivered the animals to the local government.

a. Winograd and Jennifer set up an animal shelter.
b. Winograd and Jennifer lead a comfortable life.
c. Winograd and Jennifer got married and had two children.
d. Winograd and his family lived on a tight bugget.

This website is meant for the short story and for those interested in reading light articles.
If you have a "classic" short story you would like added here, please don' t be shy about e-mailing
me in this regard as I would be happy to give your favorite story consideration. I have a fairly large
collection of short stories; however, if you want to send a story to me, I would appreciate it (this would
save me scanning time).
Please note three things about this site. One, some of the biographies are not available (the focus of
this site is the story, not the biographies). If they are not in the book from which I am scanning the
story, I will not go through my collection looking for a bio. Two, I will be focusing on shorter short
stories. No Tolstoi or F. Scott Fitzgerald here (unless you are willing to send me the story ready to go
online) ! Maybe some day I will want to spend an entire day or two on one story, but not at this time.
Three, I have no summaries or analyses, so you needn' t ask. I read short stories often, but only for the
enjoyment of doing so. I ~have very little desire to analyze what I am reading for that deep, hidden
meaning.
Fewer and fewer people these days read short stories. This i
