In a cold winter, a couple had to move out from the luxury (ºÀ»ªµÄ) house because of bankruptcy£¨ÆÆ²ú£©. The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, ¡°He doesn¡¯t love me any more. He just cares about his business ...... not me¡±.

One day, she began to take a bath, but he stopped her at the door, ¡°Let me take it first, okay?¡±

¡°Why not let me shower first,¡± she asked.

¡°I was tired, sweetie! You take it later, okay?¡± She was totally discouraged.(Ð¹ÆøµÄ)

On a tiring day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer, a few words blurred(ʹ¡­Ä£ºý)her eyes. It was his diary:

Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the bath first, and I said to her that I was tired out. She was unhappy, in her mind, to think I treated her not as well as usual. But what can I do? I was not as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, and there was only a shower in the bathroom. It was so cold to take a shower in such a freezing winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get warmer, so every time I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, at least 1¡æ, 2¡æ or 3¡æ. Now I can¡¯t give her comfortable life, bring her the luxury restaurant, buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1¡æ love.

After reading the diary, the wife was deeply moved.

In films, spies(¼äµý) are lucky people. They are smart and adventurous. But a real spy¡¯s life is not that exciting. They must live a life of lies. Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives. American spy Nathan Hale (1755-1776) was one of these people.

Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it. Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution (¸ïÃü). He and his people fought the British army.

In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a school teacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information from the British army. He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a school teacher and wanted to find a new job. As a young spy, Hale didn¡¯t have enough experience. He had told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots. He went to the river bank and waited for a boat to pick him up. However, British soldiers caught Hale at the river bank and found the papers in his boots.
