Mrs Burt was wearing two chopsticks in her hair. The chopsticks had sharp ends. Mrs Burt took the chopsticks out of her hair. "Maybe I can stab（刺）the thief with these chopsticks," she thought. "Then he will drop any purse."

In the 1920s, scientists found a collection of bones near Beijing,China. They believed that the bones were human and that they were about 500,000 years old. They also believed the bones were important because they were form a little-known stage in the evolution of human beings.
The bones were kept in Beijing until 1941. Then because the Japanese army was advancing towards the city, the scientists decided to send the bones to the US for safety.
