　　For quite a long time in Europe , there had been an anti-Jewish tendency (反犹太人倾向), because those early Christians (基督教徒) believed that it was the Jews who stuck Jesus (耶稣) onto the Cross.

　　During Hitler's time, things became worse. Hitler had divided human beings into three classes , and regarded the Jewry as the lowest one. He believed that under the same condition, a lower race would develop more quickly on its number, and grow up like parasites (寄生虫).

　　When he took office, his foolish anti-Jewish theory became more firm because of the political and economic conditions of that time. Hitler hoped that he could firmly control the German situation by means of wiping out the Jews and taking away their properties. His theory made the Fascists (法西斯主义者)begin to kill the Jews in large numbers since July, 1934. As a result, about six million Jews were killed during the World War Ⅱ.

　　Americans think that travel is good for you, some even think it can help one of the country's worst problems crime (犯罪).

　　Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals(罪犯) are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.

　　There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn't change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

　　One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in times of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest”. He takes young criminals on along, long journey with horses and wagons, 3 000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.

　　The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.

　　It's hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horse. That love can help them to a new life.

　　Not all the young people on Vision Quest leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young man.”

    Mr Denys Stocks, an old policeman, has just been given a prize for 12 years' research into ancient Egyptian industrial methods. People often wondered how the Egyptians were able to cut such hard stone and how they produced such fine jewellery. Mr Stocks has shown that the Egyptians used saws (锯) and drills (钻). The saws and drills were made of copper (铜), which is very soft. But the Egyptains turned them into very powerful tools. First, an Egyptian made a cut in the stone with a soft saw. Then the Egyptian put some sand into the cut. The hard sand got into the teeth of the saw and did the cutting. In this way, a worker could cut one of the hardest rocks. The sand he used turned into a very fine powder. The powder was then used by jewellers to cut valuable stones to make good jewellery.
