Mr. Green owned a few shops and was busy with his work.Once his wife had a fall and broke her leg.She was sent to the hospital and needed someone to look after her.They had several servants, but none of them could do the job.One of his friends brought a girl to Mr. Green.She looked beautiful and strong.Mr. Green liked her at once, and wanted to hire (fll^) her.
When the girl went out of the room, the friend said, "I hear she's a little foolish.You'd better ask her some questions.If she answers them well, you can hire her."
Mr. Green agreed and called the girl in again.He asked, "What would you be a servant for?"
"My mother is often ill, " the girl said, crying, "I have to stop studying and find work.I want to get some money to buy some medicine for her."
"Where's your father, then?"
"He died last year." answered the girl.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, " said Mr. Green, "And how did he die?"
"He went to London on business and had a high fever.The doctor couldn't save him and he died in the capital."
"How many times had your father been to London?"
"Three times."
Mr. Green was happy.He thought that the girl was not foolish at all, but he wanted to have a last try.So he asked, "Which of the three times did your father die in London?"
The girl thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry I don't know.When he died there, I was at school."

Chocolate lovers know that eating chocolate can give them a feeling of happiness.Now it is known too that eating chocolate may also make people cleverer.
Dr.Bryan Raudenbush recently made a study to see if eating chocolate can make people cleverer.The U.S.scientist knew that chocolate had several stimulants (兴奋剂).But he was not sure how these stimulants did their job and thus made people clever.
To find out, Dr.Raudenbush gave the first group of people 85g of milk chocolate to eat and the second group ate no chocolate at all.After 15 minutes, he tested their memory, and he also tried to see if they were able to deal with problems right.
The first group had higher scores.They were able to remember more words and pictures than the second group, and they could solve (解决) problems much faster.Dr.Raudenbush then decided that the stimulants in chocolate could make people do things faster and better.And he suggested that if people wanted to do a better job, eating chocolate from time to time may be of help.
