雅思阅读：肖申克的救赎

　　Red pulled some strings, and got Andy a break by getting him on a work detail tarring the roof of one of the prisons buildings. During the job one day, Andy overheard Hadley complaining about having to pay taxes for an upcoming inheritance. Andy approached, using his expertise as a banker to let Hadley know how he could shelter his money from the IRS. He said he would assist in exchange for some cold beers for his fellow inmates. Warden Norton heard about the help, and used a prison inspection to size him up.

　　Soon, after asking Red for Rita Hayworth, he was once more encountered by the Sisters. This time, he resisted, and was brutally beaten, putting him in the infirmary for a month. Boggs, the leader of the Sisters, spent a week in solitary. But when he came out, Hadley and his men were waiting in his cell. They beat him so bad he was left paralyzed, and transferred to a prison hospital upstate, and the Sisters never bothered Andy again. When Andy got out of the infirmary, he found a bunch of rocks and a poster of Rita Hayworth in his cell; presents from Red and his buddies.

　　Andy was sent to work with Brooks Hatlen , an aging inmate in the prison library, where he set up a make-shift desk to provide services to other guards including the warden with income tax returns and other financial advice. His practice became so appreciated that even guards from other prisons, when they came for inter-prison baseball matches, sought Andys advice as well.
