Mel Kiser was driving along a busy highway in Columbus, Ohio．He saw an armored truck(运钞车)and a few cars ahead of him．Suddenly the doors of the armored truck opened, and a blue plastic bag fell out of the truck．A car in front of Mr Kiser hit the bag．The bag ripped(撕破)and money spilled out．Then another bag fell out of the truck, and another．Money was flying everywhere．
At first, drivers thought the green papers on the highway were leaves．Then they realized that the green papers were not leaves, they were money!Drivers stopped their cars right in the middle of the highway．People jumped out of their cars and began picking up money．They were putting ten, twenty, and one-hundred-dollar bills into their pockets．One man said,“Money, money, money!It's all free!Grab(抓)some while you can!”
Mr Kiser also got out of his car．He had grabbed a plastic bag of money, put the bag in his car, and drove away．
Later Mr Kiser counted the money．He had ＄57,000．For the next two hours Mr Kiser thought about the money．He dreamed about spending it．He needed a new furnace(火炉)for his house．He wanted to take a vacation in Florida．But he decided to return the money．He drove to the police station and gave the police the ＄57,000．
The armored truck company offered 10 percent reward(酬金)，so Mr Kiser got a reward of ＄5,700．A few more people returned money and got rewards, but over one million dollars was still missing．
Then a man telephoned the armored truck company and said,“I was driving along the highway when I saw the money．People were running everywhere．I had a camera in my car and I took some pictures．Would you like the pictures?”
“Yes!”answered the company．The company gave the pictures to the police．The police looked closely at the pictures．They looked at the cars, the license plates, and the people's faces．They tried to find the people who had taken the money, but they didn't have much luck．
One man telephoned a Columbus newspaper．The man did not give his name,“I took two bags of money,”he said．“I'm going to take the money and leave Columbus．I have enough money for the rest of life．”

Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world．An Arab traveler in the year 900 wrote that it was played“long long ago”．Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400．The name“chess”is interesting．When one player is attacking the other's king, he says, in English,“chess”．When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says“check mate(将死)”．These words come from Persian(波斯语)．It means“the king is dead”．That is when the game is over, and one player has won．
Such an old game changes very slowly．The rules have not always been the same as they are now．For example, at one time the queen could only move one square(方块) at a time．Now she is the strongest piece on the board．It would be interesting to know why this has happened!Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people．You don't have to be a winner in order to enjoy it．It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table．The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio．Some people are able to play many people at the same time．One man played 400 games!It is said that some people play chess by post．This must make chess the slowest game in the world．

It is important to learn about protecting our environment．Here is a 5R rule for us．
1．Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely．A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper．If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left．Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities．So it is necessary to reduce the waste．
2．Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out．Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor．In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters．
3．Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled．By doing so we save lots of time and money．For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted and the metal things are made for new coke cans．
4．Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的)apples, you have two choices：one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts．In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food．
5．Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it．If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair．It is true that North America is a“throw-away”society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment．Every one of us should try our best．

People like to say：“The hand that rocks(摇动)the cradle(摇篮)rules the world．”Or they say：“Behind every successful man, there is a woman．”
Now some women still like making their husbands and sons successful．But some women want more for themselves．They want to be as successful as men．
Today the best jobs are still given to men．Even when women do the same work, they are often paid less than men．Some women want these things changed．They want to stand beside the men, with the same chances for success．
Now many American women are earning money outside their homes．More than half of the women at the age of eighteen to sixty-five have good jobs．In general, working women have more education than those who stay at home．
Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and most of them often spend their holidays away from home．They like traveling by air．Women's work had made several changes in women's lives and in men's lives, too．
But things are quite different from those in the Middle East countries．
In the Middle East countries, women have to stay at home．Their duty is to look after their families and do all the housework．They can't find work outside．When they go out in public, they cover their faces with something and walk behind their husbands．
For the past few years the women's life has been changing in those countries．Many women want to play an active role in the society(社会)．However, working gives them few chances of getting married．Many men still want to marry them in the old ways．

More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in．They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down．They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them．

The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil．They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine．But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and suddenly 45,000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold．They cut down the forest to make roads．They made more than a hundred airports．The Yanomami people lost land and food．Many died because new diseases (疾病)came to the forest with the strangers．
The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home．But the people who wanted gold were stronger．
Many forest people try to save their forest．Chico Menders was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people．“I want the Amazon forest to help all of us forest people, Brazil, and all the Earth,”he said．A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Menders．
In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest while the Penan people tried to save their rainforest．They made blockades(障碍)across the roads into the forest．In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months．No one cut down any trees during that time．
In Panama, the Kuma people saved their forest．They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit．
The Gavioes people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well．They find and seed the nuts which grow on the forest trees．
