The English writer, Richard Savage, once lived a poor life in London. To make money for his everyday life, he wrote the story of his life, but few readers were interested in his book. Savage was living from hand to mouth.
He became very ill because he was too poor to buy any food. But after his doctor did his best to look after him, he got well again. After a week or two, the doctor sent a bill(账单)to Savage for his visits, but poor Savage didn't have any money and couldn't pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again. But still no money came. After several weeks he sent it to him again asking for his money In the end. he came to Savage's house and asked him for payment, saying to Savage, "You know you owe(大)your life to me and I wanted thanks from you. "
"I agree, "said Savage, "that l owe my life o you, and I am really thankful, so I will give my life to you." With these words, he handed the doctor two copies(复印本)of his book The Life of Richard Savage.
Someday in the future we won't take money with us when we go out. What will life be like when people don't carry any money at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small credit card(信用卡). We will see it to buy all the things.
Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. For example, we lose money from time to time. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the cards. Someone may even make a card that looks like our cards. Because we can't buy anything without our cards, the credit cards aren't as good as money.
Is there something else we can use? Each of us has a thumbprint(拇指指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government(政府)will keep people's thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something, you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store will possess one. Everyone's thumbprints will be in the computer. It will be difficult lose our thumbprints! It will be difficult for someone to take it or to make one like it.
If I want you to give me a high—five, can you do it? If you search your pocket for five yuan, it will make others laugh（大笑）!I am not asking for your money, but your fingers. It's a kind of body language.
It's very popular in America, and lots of young Chinese people also like doing that.
How do you do a high—five? It's very easy. First, put one hand up in the air. Then hit (碰)someone's hand also high in the air. When people have something happy, they always use the body language. For example, a man wins a lottery (彩票). If a football team wins a game, the players will also give high—fives to everyone around.
There are different stories about how the high—five began. One story is like this: A very long time ago, some Americans saw a group of animals. They were so excited and they put their hands up into the air.
They just wanted to hit each other. In another story, some short men met some tall men, so they had to put their hands up high to shake hands with them. The high—five was born.
Next time, when you meet an American, give a friendly high—five and make your new friend feel right at home.

Once upon a time, there was a young man called Ma Liang He was poor. But he was kind and hard-working and liked drawing. One night, he dreamed(梦见)that an old man gave him a magic paintbrush(神奇的画笔)and asked him to use it to help poor people. When he woke up, he found the magic paintbrush in his desk.
From that day on, he used the paintbrush whenever people needed help. When he saw that people had no water to use or drink, he drew a river and the river came to life. People could bring water from the river.
Then many people knew about the magic paintbrush. But a few days later, a rich and bad man heard that the magic paintbrush could turn everything to life. He took the magic paintbrush away from Ma Liang's house and put Ma Liang into prison(监牢). Then he drew a lot of pictures with the paintbrush, but they could not become real.
So he said to Ma Liang, "If you draw some pictures for me and make them real, I will make you free."
The young man agreed and drew a sea first. Then he drew a golden mountain which was far away from the sea. The bad man said, Draw a big ship quickly. I want to go there to get the gold."
After the young man drew a big ship, the bad man jumped into the ship with his family and friends quickly. When the ship moved to the middle of the sea, the young man drew a large wave(波浪)and they never came back.
