26、and write them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his works to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a difficult time selling their products.

28、ny Jackson, the only daughter of General “ Stone Wall“ Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny s money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father.

32、not find a bank to let him have a credit card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool. David s firm releases two new games for the fast growing computer market each month. But David s biggest headache is what to do with

33、 his money.

38、wanted to earn his own living. 64 Dolphins are interesting animals. Working with them is fun, because you never know what they will come up with to surprise you. Remember when your mom used to cut up your food? Circe, a show dolphin, wont eat fish unless someone cuts the fins (鱼鳍 ) off. Diana Reiss,

39、 a scientist who worked with Circe, knew that. But one day she forgot. Reiss was training Circe to “stay at station“ in front of her. Every time the dolphin swam off, Reiss gave her a time-out by backing away from the side of the pool and standing at a distance. When Circe stayed, Reiss fed her a pi

40、ece of fish. But then she gave her a piece with fins by mistake. Circe looked at Reiss, spat(吐 ) out the fish, and swam across the pool. She took an upright position in the water and simple “stood“ there. Circe was communicating (交流 ) loud and clear. “I felt as if I had gotten the time-out! “ says R

41、eiss. Another dolphin, Pete, enjoyed his meals of fish served up by his trainer. But a wild bird started to show up at every feeding to steal some of the dolphins supper. Pete was definitely not happy about that. One day when Petes trainer gave him frozen fish, Pete let them sink to the bottom of hi

42、s pool. Between shows he dived down and pushed eight fish up to the surface, and managed to keep all of them afloat. For five minutes, the bird watched anxiously. Finally, the bird took the bait. When it did, Pete caught the birds feet and pulled it underwater! Then took care of that little thief. 6

46、 seats in the class were quickly taken. ESPN offered to fly him to New York for a TV chat show, and e-mail arrived from hockey fans and researchers from as far away as Texas and China. “They think they can learn something about us as a nation by learning about the game, about Canadian people. Theyre

47、 right. “ says Beardsley. Students in Beardsleys class completed three research papers related to hockey. The reading list included famous works like The Divine Ryans by Wayne Johnston, The Good Body by Bill Gas ton and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true

48、meaning of being Canadian. In Beardsleys words, hockey shows the very nature of the polite Canadian. “I think that a long with this peace-sharing, gentle image comes a need for mayhem(混乱 ). So we invent the game and whammo! you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energies that

49、 we dont allow ourselves elsewhere. “ says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form of saying, “Look, even up here in the frozen north we can turn this around and make it work for us. “ “Im talking about something larger than what happens on the ice and so is the course. “ 68 What is the main pu
