Henry Smith taught science at the City School. One day, he wen to a bookstore and bought some books. Most of them were expensive. He left them in his car in a quiet street. Then he went and bought some other things at other shops. At 6 o’clock he came back to the car. One window was open and the books were gone. Henry drove back to his home in Lake Street.
That night he wrote a letter to a newspaper. The next day he went to the police station.
On Friday people read an advertisement in the newspaper.
BOOKS WANTED
DO YOU HAVE ANY BOOKS THAT YOU NO LONGER WANTED? I BUY OLD AND MODERN BOOKS. OPEN ALL DAY ON SATURDAY. HENRY SMITH, 18 LAKE STREET.
Henry stayed at home on Saturday. His first visitor came at 8 o’clock.
Henry took him to the kitchen. At half past nine another man arrived. He had a bag under his arm.
“Mr Smith?” the man asked.
“That’s right,” Henry said, “Can I help you?”
“I have some good books. You buy books, don’t you?”
“Yes, bring them in. I’ll have a look at them.”
Soon the books were on the dining-table.
“Come in now,” Henry called out, “And bring the list.”
A policeman came into the dining-room. He read the titles(书名) on the books and those on the list in his hand. They were the same.
“Come with me, Sir,” the policeman said to the man.
【小题1】How did the man get the books? _____________

Today we find that school students hardly spend much time on sports. Is it because they aren’t interested in sports? No, they often say they have other important things to do.

         What are these important things? Tests! They have to spend much time on all kinds of tests at school. So many of them almost become bookworms(书呆子) . Books stop them from going out for sports. Because of the pressure from their parents and teachers, the students have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. As for the students, they want to get good results in order to improve their studies. So it is necessary for them to give all of their free time to their studies and stop their school sports.

         In fact, education can’t go without body exercise, because a quick mind hardly goes along with a weak(虚弱的) body. If you don’t have a strong body, you can never get anything or any great success in your life.
