The great novelist had gone mad, but now there seemed to be some hope for his recovery. For six months, he had been sitting at his typewriter pounding out a novel. Finally, he pronounced it completed and brought the book to his psychiatrist, who eagerly began reading it aloud:
"General Jackson leaped upon his faithful horse and yelled, 'Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap, giddyap"' The doctor thumbed through the rest of the manuscript." There's nothing here but 500 pages of giddyaps! " he exclaimed."
"Stubborn horse," explained the writer.

倔強的馬
大作家瘋了，但現在似乎還有恢復的希望。六個月以來，他都坐在打字機旁用力地敲一部小說。終于，他宣稱書已寫好并把它拿到精神病醫生那里。醫生急切地大聲朗讀起來：
“杰克遜將軍跨上他的忠實的馬，喊道：'駕，駕，駕，駕……’”醫生翻了翻剩下的手稿。“五百頁紙竟全是'駕，駕’！”他驚奇地說。
“是匹倔強的馬，”作家解釋道。
練習參考答案：
① gone ② recovery ③ at; pounding ④ completed ⑤ thumbed through
