     Trait was an experienced safecracker who never used force -either against people or safes
(保险箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most
difficult safe he had ever encountered. In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two
friends, he took about $330,000 -from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early
in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money was a note, "We don’t
need all that much."
     A witness (目击者) recognized his car and Strait was caught by the police. Then he was
sent to Austria’s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹嘘) at his trial that
he would continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite
the warning, prison officials moved Strait to the prison’s blacksmith (铁匠) shop. One day during
the week before Christmas, Strait disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked.
Strait had managed to make a set of keys and let himself out.
     Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Strait attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of
German customs police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison,
"he explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences
for crimes like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison."
     In prison, Strait persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his
former keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I’m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn’t want to
embarrass anybody by escaping. Conditions weren’t that bad. In fact the food was better than
it is here."

  If you dream of going somewhere warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OGLE-TR-566, has temperatures of more than F. “This is the hottest planet we know about. ” says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team. “It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets (细沫) . ”

  The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way (银河) but it's not in our solar (太阳的) .The new planet moves around a star much like our sun , however. Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called “ transit technique. ” They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star's light to dim(变暗) . Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth.”says Sasselov.
