The Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角)is in the Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA. During the past 60 years, more than 1,000 seamen in ships and pilots in planes have lost their lives. It is known as “The Triangle of Death”for its strange seawater and sudden storms. What's the strangest is the light of the seawater, which looks so bright that it can be seen even from an outer spaceship.

　　At 2:00p.m. on Dec. 5, 1945, five planes took off in fine weather from the airport of Florida, on a training task. Two hours later, the leader in the sky radioed that he was “completely lost”. Then there was silence. Another plane was sent to look for them and also disappeared.

　　One of the largest ship that had disappeared in the triangle was an American coal ship, 500meters long. The weather was good, and there were no messages for help before it was “gone”. No broken ships or dead bodies have been found so far.

　　No one is able to tell how all these accidents have happened. A group of Japanese scientists were there to see what it was really like in 1995, but nothing has been heard of them ever since.

　　In many big cities there are people who cannot get work. Sometimes they do not want to work, but sometimes there isn't any work for them to do.

　　Some of these people beg for money. Some of them sell boxes of matches or cheap pens, and some or them sell flowers.

　　Andrew never gave money to beggars. "People should work for their money," he believed. He also believed there was work for everyone, which was however not true.

　　"Give an old woman ten dollars, mister," she said to Andrew. "I haven't had a meal for three days."

　　"I'm not giving you ten dollars," Andrew said.

　　"What about five dollars, then, mister?" the poor old woman asked. "That'll buy me a couple of pieces of bread."

　　"No," Andrew said.

　　"Then what about one dollar?" the old woman asked. "I can buy an orange."

　　"I haven't got one dollar," Andrew said. "Now go away."

　　The old woman looked at him sadly, and then gave him her flowers.
