Mrs Burt was walking along a San Francisco street. Suddenly a man took her purse and ran. She was very angry. She had ten dollars, her bus pass, and the key to her house in her purse. Mrs Burt ran after the thief.

The thief ran one block, two blocks, three blocks. The thief was a young man, so he could run fast. Mrs Burt was not a young woman—she was 73 years old—but she could run fast, too. Mrs Burt stayed right behind the thief.

Mrs Burt was wearing two chopsticks in her hair. The chopsticks had sharp ends. Mrs Burt took the chopsticks out of her hair. "Maybe I can stab(刺)the thief with these chopsticks," she thought. "Then he will drop any purse."

The thief ran into an apartment building. Mrs Burt followed him. "Help! Stop him!" she shouted. "He has my purse!"

Two police officers were walking near the apartment building. They heard Mrs Burt and ran to help her. One police officer stayed with Mrs Burt. The other police officer chased the thief.

The police officer found the thief on the roof of the apartment building. The thief was looking in Mrs Burt's purse. When he saw the police officer, the thief dropped the purse and jumped off the building. The building was two storeys high.

A few minutes later the police officer caught the thief. He was hiding under a car. He couldn't run because he had broken his legs. The police took the thief to jail.

A different kind of alarm clock

When Matty Sallin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock.

“To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. So before he started to design the new clock; he asked different people what they’d like to wake up to in the morning, and lots of them said, “The smell of bacon(培根).”

So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs(灯泡) instead of fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”.

“What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, then you set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8: 00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.”

“So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms,” says Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”

When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor!”

Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other thing, but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.

As we all know, all living things will die without oxygen(氧气). Oxygen comes from all kinds of plants. Rainforests play the most important part in making oxygen. Besides(除了) making oxygen, rainforests help us in many other ways.

Rainforests take in the heat(热量) from the sun and this makes the earth cooler. Because the more heat reflects(反射) into the sky, the warmer the other parts of the world will be. That’s the reason why rainforests can control the climate.

Rainforests provide us with a lot of wood. We use wood to make paper and furniture, such as beds, chairs and tables. Also we use wood for building houses to protect us from the sun, the wind and the rain. In most parts of the world, people cook food and keep warm by burning wood.

Rainforests are the world’s drug(药物) store. More than 25% of the medicine we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been checked for their medical value(药用价值). We believe that our best chance to beat diseases is somewhere in the world’s rainforests. But it’s a pity they are becoming smaller and smaller day by day. I think we should try our best to protect it.
