Question

Kate Smith walks along a road on St. John, an island(岛屿）in theUS. She asks her mum to give her the next clue (线索).

Looking at the piece of paper in her hand ， her mum reads out loud ， " Walk along the road. Pass the mammee apple tree on your right. Get to the high ground and find the cacao tree."

After a few minutes, they're in front of the cacao tree and reading the last of the clues, "Keep your back to the tree and take four steps off the road."

After taking four steps, Kate looks down at an old stone(；石头)wall. Digging() in carefully, she calls out, "There it is!" It is a plastic(塑料的)box in a plastic bag.

The Smiths are letterboxing ， a fun outdoor activity that sends people to different places to look for letterboxes. " Letterbox" is the word used for a mailbox inEngland. The letterboxing game probably first started in the 1850s, when an Englishman left cards in a bottle(瓶子)with a note. He invited others to do the same. Soon people began leaving messages or letters for other people to find. Modern letterboxes are not bottles but plastic boxes.
