Americans love sports-they love to play them, to watch them on television, and to talk about them. But
this hobby sometimes has serious results-at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis,
sometimes they hurt their elbow (肘部) and in this way they develop "tennis elbow". Also it is easy to hurt
a knee in a football game. These injuries (损伤) happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt. 　　
      A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game.
Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation (手术) or she might not be able to play again.
She felt very sad and didn't know what to do. 　　
      Then Simmons learned about "video operation". With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors
can now repair many injuries and get people back on the playing field and back to their jobs much faster.
Simmons found a hospital that was using this new science and went to see the doctor there. The doctors
told her the operation could help. 　　
     For this operation, her doctor didn't have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens
(镜头) inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked,
he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor
knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs. 　　
      Simmons started walking five days after her operation. "My knee hurt a lot the first few days," she said.
"But I felt better very quickly." Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did
before her injury. "It feels like a new knee," she said. "I can even play volleyball again."

　　Mr Black was the manager (经理) of a hotel in the city. On a Friday night, three men came into
the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr Black said there were no rooms ready because of a meeting. The
men were unhappy.
　　Mr Black wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418,a small room, was empty(空的).
He asked them if they would like a small room. The three men said yes. Mr Black said they should pay
thirty dollars, ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.
　　Mr Black soon began to feel sorry, so he called his assistant over,gave him five dollars and said,
"Take the money to those three men in Room 418.I asked too much for their room. "
　　The assistant took the money. (A)在去那儿的路上想,"How can the three men divide the five
dollars? I will give them each only one dollar and keep two dollars for myself.
　　The men will be happy to get something back.And Mr Black will never know." So the assistant
returned one dollar to each man.
　　The next morning, the three men went to thank the manager before they left. They said, "Thank
you for returning 3 dollars to us. "Mr Black was surprised but he didn't say anything.

　　Some countries are better than others at looking after the environment. In
Europe, Germany (德国) and northern European countries work very hard to
improve the environment. The people in Germany put their rubbish into different
bags-paper in one bag, plastic in another bag, etc. Therub- bish is then taken
away and, if possible, recycled(回收) There are laws that do not allow people
to burn too much coal.

"Green" movement  (运动) began and soon spread all over Europe. The "Green"
movement tries to get governments to protect the environment. It collects
information about how industry is damaging (破坏) the environment and tells
newspapers.
