Once, a man got on a bus to New York. Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, “There’s a bum(流浪汉)in toilet. Tell the bus driver.” The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. Under the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no bomb.

Boosting(促进) your Brain Power
Who hasn’t wished that they were just a little smarter? Maybe you’re in school and just want to get a better grade on a test. 1. Here are some ways you can go about boosting your brainpower.
Sleep is one of the easiest things to do, yet one of the ones that most of us don’t do. We live in a busy age and often it seems that we don’t have enough time to get everything done. So many of us sacrifice our hours of sleep to accomplish our daily tasks. 2.
Read a book. Being smarter is not only about thinking but knowledge plays a big part in it, too. Reading helps your brain stay active.3. Think of it as exercise for the brain.
Try turning off that television set and going for a walk. A walk will stimulate your body and relax your mind. Just as watching too much TV can hurt your body, it also causes your brain to slow down as well.
4. There is a big difference between knowing something and being able to teach it to someone else. There is nothing like trying to break something down into simpler terms for others to help you understand it better than you did before.
Work on a puzzle. It can be anything from the newspaper crossword or the new Sudoku puzzle. Puzzles help you use your brain to figure out the answers.5. Your brain needs exercise just like your body does to be able to function in top form.
So go out there and boost your brainpower, your mind will thank you.
A. The more you read, the more you know, and the smarter you will be.
B. By writing about things you know, it helps you to understand them better.
C. Crossword puzzles also have the added benefit of increasing your vocabulary and knowledge.
D. Maybe you want to show your boss that you are good enough to get a promotion.
E. Giving your body the rest it needs every night can boost your ability to function at your best the next day.
