his profile (侧面轮廓)．”

Slightly confused by this ridiculous response，he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her，“This is your suspect.How would you recognize him？”

The second blonde giggles，flips her hair and says，“Ha！He’d be too easy to catch because he only has one ear！”

The policeman angrily responds，“What’s the matter with you two？Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it’s a picture of his profile！Is that the best answer you can come up with？”

Extremely frustrated at this point，he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks，“This is your suspect.How would you recognize him？” He quickly adds，“Think hard before giving me a stupid answer.”

The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says.“Hmm...the suspect wears contact lenses.”

The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn’t know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not.“Well，that’s an interesting answer...Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that.” He leaves the room and goes to his office，checks the suspect’s file in his computer，and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.“Wow！I can’t believe it...it’s true！The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses.Good work！How were you able to make such an acute observation？”

“That’s easy，” the blonde replies.“He can’t wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear.”

“When I look back on my childhood，I wonder how I survived at all.It was，of course，a miserable childhood.The_happy_childhood_is_hardly_worth_your_while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood.And worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.” That was Frank McCourt reading the opening lines of his book Angela’s Ashes，released in nineteen ninety-six.

This Irish American author best known for the Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography Angela’s Ashes that recorded his poor upbringing，died of cancer on Sunday，The New York Times reported.He was 78.

Born in New York City，he was the eldest of seven children born to Irish immigrant parents.Angela’s Ashes was a memoir that captured an irresponsible，drunkard father with a gift for storytelling.When not drunk，his father was absent，turning his back on a family so poor，McCourt wrote，that they were reduced to burning the furniture in their rented hut to keep warm.His mother struggled to raise her many

Already struggling when the Great Depression hit，the family moved back to Limerick，where they slipped ever deeper into poverty in the 1930s.

Three of McCourt’s siblings died of diseases worsened by hunger and the wretchedness of their surroundings.McCourt himself almost died of typhoid (伤寒的) fever as a child.

In Angela’s Ashes，he wrote of hunger，a home flooded with rainwater and the unbearable humiliation of seeking handouts from charities in the Irish city.But he told the story in a way that is expressive，warm and light-hearted.

Frank McCourt left Ireland at the age of nineteen to return to New York City where he was born.He earned a degree in English education and taught creative writing for nearly thirty years.After retiring in nineteen eighty-seven，he decided to write about his childhood.“Angela’s Ashes” became a huge success and brought McCourt a 1997 Pulitzer Prize，the National Book Critics Circle Award and other honors.Millions of copies of the book were sold worldwide and it was adapted into a 1999 movie starring Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle.
