1. The Physician by Noah Gordon
Read carefully the following text and answer the questions about it: “Let us catch some breakfast”, he said as they washed the dirt from their faces and hands. He cut two willow poles and got hooks and line from the wagon. From the shaded place behind the seat he pulled out a box. “This is our grasshopper box.” He said. “It is one of our duties to keep it filled”. He lifted the lid only far enough to allow Rob to stick his hands inside. Living things rustled away from Rob’s fingers, frantic and spiky, and he pulled one gently into his palm. When he withdrew his hand, keeping the wings folded between his thumb and forefinger, the insect’s legs scrabbled frantically. The four front legs were thin as hairs and the hind two were powerful and large-thighed, enabling it to be a hopper. Barber showed him how to slip the point of the hook just beneath the sort section of tough, ridged shell behind the head. “Not too deep or he’ll bleed molasses and die. Where have you fished?” “The Thames.” He prided himself on his ability as a fisher, for he and his father often had dangled worms in the broad river, depending on the fish to help feed the family during the unemployment. Barber grunted. “This is a different kind of fishing,” He said. “Leave the poles for a moment and get on your hands and knees” They crawled cautiously to a place overlooking the nearest pool and lay on their bellies. Rob thought the fat man daft. Four fish hung suspended in glass. “Small,” Rob whispered. “Best eating that size,” Barber said as they crept away from the bank. Your big river trouts are tough and oily. Did you note how these drifted near the head of the pool? They feed facing upstream, waiting for a juicy meal to fall in and come floating down. They’re wild and wary. If you stand next to the stream, they see you. If you tread strongly on the bank they feel your step and they scatter. That’s why you use the long pole. If you stand next back and lightly drop the hopper just above the pool, letting the flow carry it to the fish.” He watched critically as Rob swung the grasshopper where he had directed. With a shock that travelled along the pole and sent excitement up into Rob’s arms, the unseen fish struck like a dragon. After that it was like fishing in the Thames. He waited patiently, giving the trout time to doom itself, and then raised the tip of the pole and set the hook as his father had taught him. When he pulled in the first flopping prize they admired its blood: the gleaming background like oiled walnut wood, the sleek sides splattered with rainbow reds, the black fins marked with warm orange ...

SESGADO
Dracula de Bram stoker En cuanto llegué a esta conclusión escuché pesados pasos que se acercaban detrás de la gran puerta, y vi a través de las grietas el brillo de una luz que se acercaba. Se escuchó el ruido de cadenas que golpeaban y el chirrido de pesados cerrojos que se corrían. Una llave giró haciendo el conocido ruido producido por el largo desuso, y la inmensa puerta se abrió hacia adentro. En ella apareció un hombre alto, viejo, limpiamente afeitado, a excepción de un largo bigote blanco, y vestido de negro de la cabeza a los pies, sin ninguna mancha de color en ninguna parte. Tenía en la mano una antigua lámpara de plata, en la cual la llama se quemaba sin globo ni protección de ninguna clase, lanzando largas y ondulosas sombras al fluctuar por la corriente de la puerta abierta. El anciano me hizo un gesto con su mano derecha, haciendo un gesto cortés y hablando en excelente inglés, aunque con una entonación extraña: - Bienvenido a mi casa. ¡Entre con libertad y por su propia voluntad! No hizo ningún movimiento para acercárseme, sino que permaneció inmóvil como una estatua, como si su gesto de bienvenida lo hubiese fijado en piedra. Sin embargo, en el instante en que traspuse el umbral de la puerta, dio un paso impulsivamente hacia adelante y, extendiendo la mano, sujetó la mía con una fuerza que me hizo retroceder, un efecto que no fue aminorado por el hecho de que parecía fría como el hielo; de que parecía más la mano de un muerto que de un hombre vivo. Dijo otra vez: - Bienvenido a mi casa. Venga libremente, váyase a salvo, y deje algo de la alegría que trae consigo. La fuerza del apretón de mano era tan parecida a la que yo había notado en el cochero, cuyo rostro no había podido ver, que por un momento dudé si no se trataba de la misma persona a quien le estaba hablando; así es que para asegurarme, le pregunté: - ¿El conde Drácula? Se inclinó cortésmente al responderme. - Yo soy Drácula; y le doy mi bienvenida, señor Harker, en mi casa. Pase; el aire de la noche está frío, y seguramente usted necesita comer y descansar.
Dracula by Bram stoker Just as I had come to this conclusion I heard a heavy step approaching behind the great door, and saw through the chinks the gleam of a coming light. Then there was the sound of rattling chains and the clanking of massive bolts drawn back. A key was turned with the loud grating noise of long disuse, and the great door swung back. Within, stood a tall old man, clean shaven save for a long white moustache, and clad in black from head to foot, without a single speck of colour about him anywhere. He held in his hand an antique silver lamp, in which the flame burned without a chimney or globe of any kind, throwing long quivering shadows as it flickered in the draught of the open door. The old man motioned me in with his right hand with a courtly gesture, saying in excellent English, but with a strange intonation. “Welcome to my house! Enter freely and of your own free will!” He made no motion of stepping to meet me, but stood like a statue, as though his gesture of welcome had fixed him into stone. The instant, however, that I had stepped over the threshold, he moved impulsively forward, and holding out his hand grasped mine with a strength which made me wince, an effect which was not lessened by the fact that it seemed cold as ice, more like the hand of a dead than a living man. Again he said. “Welcome to my house! Enter freely. Go safely, and leave something of the happiness you bring!” The strength of the handshake was so much akin to that which I had noticed in the driver, whose face I had not seen, that for a moment I doubted if it were not the same person to whom I was speaking. So to make sure, I said interrogatively, “Count Dracula?” He bowed in a courtly was as he replied, “I am Dracula, and I bid you welcome, Mr. Harker, to my house. Come in, the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest.”
