听力原文: Why are so few tigers man-eaters? Why are fewer than three percent likely to be man-eaters? Why are we off the menu for tigers?
It's widely assumed that tigers keep us off the menu through fear. But what are they afraid of? Do they know that we may be better armed than they are? Can they really realize that if they kill just one of us they'll get a whole army after them? Do they find our smell unpleasant? Perhaps.
I think the explanation is simpler and, in a way, more interesting. I suspect that a tiger's fear of humans lies in the way he perceives us at the unique moment of contact.
I am 1.8m tall. A tiger is less than lm tall but may be up to 3m long. So when a tiger sees me, it might reasonably assume that I'm 6m long. If I were a huge deer, he'd leap on my back, but he discovers I have no back. From the front I'm huge, but from the side I all but disappear very upset. A hunter has to be confident that it can tackle its prey, and no one's confident when upset.
If I'm correct, the opposite should be tree of a sitting human, who is half the size, presents twice the spread of back and more closely resembles a medium-sized deer. And, indeed, many attacks on people involve villagers sitting or bending over to cut grass.
When that tiger appeared within inches of me on that twilight evening, I know what was going through my mind. But perhaps I should not even try to guess what he was thinking.

"It's 8:45 on a Sunday morning, "said the policeman, "and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining?"
The man was obviously startled but kept calm immediately. He said, "I know what you' re thinking, officer, but it isn' t true. This is a very funny mistake. " " It' s part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think you' ve just left this house in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but I' d like to make sure.

"Charlie Lewis, lorry driver, from Nottingham, 52 Brecon Street. My story. . . "" Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Lewis? . . . . Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. Bed and breakfast. The landlady' s name is Mrs. Crane. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry by half past. It was only when I felt around for a cigarette I found I' d left $ 90 in my pay envelope under the pillow here at number 25. I always put it under my pillow at night. It' s a habit I' ve got into. I even do it at home. . . "
"I see. Why didn't you miss it when you went to pay Mrs. . . What's her name? . . . . I'd paid her last night. You' ve got to pay when you take the room, right? So I came rushing back, but it's Sunday, and she' d gone back to bed, and could I wake her? I rang the bell and banged on the front door for several minutes before I came round here to the back spotting my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then, up this pipe. It' s a trick I learnt in the army. She hadn' t made the bed, and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because. . . "
"Mr. Lewis, whatever are you doing here? I thought you' d gone one hour and a half ago. "It was Mrs. Crane, speaking from the kitchen window at the corner of the house.
