     At three a.m., Jack Mills was sitting at the controls of the mail train. The train was made up of 13 cars.

and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed. At three
minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whit by, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train,
and then stopped. Whit by went to the telephone beside the track. It was out of order. Then he saw a man
moving between the second and the third car. Before Whit by could give a warning, he was knocked down
by two men. Mills' cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge, the bags

     Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that
their family members don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for
brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for ideas. It is very
important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their
friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication (交流) is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss (讨论) something. These things
