       In 1901, the citizens of Colorado Springs in the USA decided to collect everyday items and to
seal (封住)them in a special box. The box was marked "To be opened after midnight, December 31st,
AD 2000",and was kept in the Colorado College Library.
       One hundred years later, on the appointed (约定)day, 300 people gathered to watch the opening
of the box. Many in the crowd were the descendants (后代)of people who had placed things inside the
box.
       When the box was opened after midnight, the things inside the box were in very good condition.
There were newspapers, photos, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and lots of letters, including
one written by Theodore Roosevelt,  who became the President of the USA later that year.  One of
Roosevelt's friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time.
       Many of the letters were written to their descendants. They describe the hopes that the people of
1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, Colorado Springs had just a few thousand
people. Now nearly half a million people live there.
       Colorado College Library has scanned the materials and put them on a website. Cecil Muller,
whose grandfather had placed a collection of postcards in the box, said that the time capsule was a
great treasure. "This is a wonderful educational resource(资源).  We can learn so much about our
history,"he said. "I never knew my grandfather, but now I feel very close to him. "

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
