Hunted as the wild turkey is, it has developed a high deGREe of great skill in evading its pursuers. In some places it appears to have learned a game of make-believe; when caught at close quarters, it put on the tame and innocent demeanor of the domesticated bird.
Dr Wheaton mentions a case where two hunters of his acquaintance came suddenly upon a flock of five in the road. They seemed quite unconcerned, walked deliberately in front of the two gunners, mounted a fence, and disappeared slowly over a low hill. They took to their legs, and soon to their wings, and presently placed a wide valley between themselves and their dupes. The disappointment of the sportsmen may be imagined. Their game had made game of them. Such birds a famous expert would have called "half-civilized".
Turkeys, however, are wise in some respects and foolish in others. In old times, at least, GREat numbers were caught in pens built of logs, the only entrance to which was through a shallow, narrow trench. The greedy birds, following the corn which had been scattered in the trench,wedged themselves through the entrance; and then, when perhaps half a dozen of them were inside, and the bait was all eaten, they tried in vain to get out through the top or sides of the pen, never passing out by the way they had come in, even though they might remain in the trap for several days, or until they perished of hunger.
1. Dr Wheaton tells about an experience involving________.
A) himself and some turkeys

3. In Dr Wheaton's anecdote, the turkeys ________.

B) pretended to be indifferent to the hunters' presence
C) hurried down the road in front of the hunters
D) suddenly disappeared and hid themselves in the woods
4. The hunters in the story were________.
A) amused
B) skilful in hunting
C) humiliated
D) very angry
5. Turkeys were formerly caught in pens as a result of________.
