A
A drunken burglar in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool，ended up leaping out of a window after a 10－year－old asked him to prove he was a superhero.
The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.
Thief Ethan Adamson,25，told police that he had broken into a fifth－floor－flat after a drinking session，believing it was empty.
But he was horrified when the owner's 10－year－old daughter woke up while he was there.
From his hospital bed，the thief told reporters，“To keep her quiet，I told her I was really Superman and I'd soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.” “She called my bluff(吓唬)and told me，‘If you're Superman show me you can fly or I'll scream.’”
“I had no choice so I stripped down to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window.”
“I saw another roof below and I thought I_could_make_it but it turned out to be a lot further down than I thought.”
“I know it doesn't make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.”
Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants，covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbour heard his cries of pain. He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.
Police spokesman Frank Amado said，“He was in quite a serious state and couldn't move until we got up there using ladders.He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes，before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”

B
I have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years.The course is one of the most popular in the prison.Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.
One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people，because animals don't judge them.They trust animals in ways they don't with hums.
Yet，they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another.Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place.I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom，there is also a lot of cooperation(合作)and sympathy.
Many of the students want to build healthy relationships，and they find that the class helps them.I use examples of the social behavior of group－living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持)friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group. It's clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope.I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane(人道)societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations.One went on to receive a master's degree in nature writing. Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done.It opens the door to understanding，trust，cooperation
