英语听力：劫机.Skyjack! Chapter 8

　　Chapter EightWhen the girl came back into the cabin¹, she was shaking. Her hands were shaking, and she was crying, and smoke was coming out of her gun. One of the passengers, an American, stood up and shouted at her. “You are a murderer²!” he shouted, “You are dirty murdering, but…” She turned and pointed³ the gun at him, and fired. The man sat down in his seat, and the bullets⁴ went above the seats all along the plane and through the roof.

　　After ten seconds the girl stopped firing and shouted, “You shut up! You shut up and sit down! Or I’ll kill you all, all of you!”

　　But she was crying, too. And a young man in a black shirt put his arms around her and held her. She leaned⁵ against him crying, and he whispered⁶ something in her ear. It was then that Harold moved. He got out of his seat, bent⁷ low, and ran very fast along the aisle⁸ towards the front of the plane. The young man and girl did not see him coming, and he caught them both around their legs, and knocked them onto the floor. Harold fell on top of them, and he tried to take one of the guns, but the girl pulled his hair and the young man held his arms. Then the bearded man came out of the captain’s cabin, and hit Harold hard on the head with his gun. Harold fell on the floor and lay still.

　　The bearded man pointed his gun at the passengers and shouted, “Sit still!” very loud indeed.

　　None of the passengers had moved except Carl, and he was too slow. He stood very still in the middle of the aisle, five meters away from the bearded man’s gun. The other two hijackers were still on the floor. Carl saw the captain moved in the cabin behind the bearded man, but the young man in a black shirt saw him, too, and stood up, and pointed his gun at the captain. Both Carl and captain were too late.

　　“I am getting old,” Carl thought, “When I was young, I could move as fast as Harold, but now.”

　　Carl sat down in his seat very slowly. The bearded man watched him all the time. He pushed Harold with his foot. “Search him!” he said to the girl, “Then handcuff him to the door. He will be the next one.”

　　The girl pulled Harold to the door. She found some handcuffs in his pocket, and handcuffed him to the door. Then she searched his other pockets. In one of his pockets she found a newspaper. She looked at it, and saw a photo of Harold and Carl. She stood up slowly, and showed it to the bearded man. He looked at the photo, and then he looked at Carl carefully, and for a long time. Very slowly smiles appeared on the faces of the two hijackers, and they began to laugh.
