標題是什么
When a man in Macon， Ga. ， came upon a wild dog attacking a young boy， he quickly grabbed the animal and throttled it with his two hands. A reporter saw the incident， congratulated the man and told him the headline the following day would read， “Local Man Saves Child by Killing Vicious Animal. ”
The hero， however， told the journalist that he wasn't from Macon.
“Well， then，” the reporter said， the headline will probably say， 'Georgia Man Saves Child by Killing Dog. '“
“Actually，” the man said， “I'm from Connecticut.”
“In that case，” the reporter said in a huff， “the headline will read ，'Yankee Kills Family Pet.'”
Notes：
（1） Ga. Georgia的縮寫（美國的）喬治亞州
（2） come upon 偶然遇見
（3） grab v.抓取；攬取
（4） throttle v.勒死；縊死
（5） congratulate v.祝賀
（6） vicious adj. 兇惡的
（7） Connecticut n.（美國）康涅狄格州
（8） huff n.發怒
（9） Yankee n.（美國南北戰爭中）北部諸州的人；北方佬

根據短文回答問題：
① The man carne from Macon， Ga.
② The man killed the dog with a knife.
③ At first， the reporter was pleased with what the man had done.
④ The reporter thought that the man was a local person.

10.標題是什么
一位男子在喬治亞州的麥根城遇到一條狗在襲擊一個男孩。他敏捷地用兩手卡住了狗的脖子并掐死了它。一位記者目睹了這件事，向這位男子表示祝賀并說次日的新聞標題將是：“本地男子殺惡畜救孩童”。

“那么，”記者說，“標題可能為'喬治亞男子殺狗救孩童’。”
