Archimedes and the golden crown

One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very1 with it.

"It's a nice crown, isn't it?" he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt2it was a real golden crown. "Is it made completely of gold?" he wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.

"This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?" thought Archimedes.

Archimedes was still thinking about this problem3he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over.  

"That's it!" shouted Archimedes. "I know4 to solve the king's problem!"

Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he5the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight.

Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled6pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into7pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl.

"Look at this," said Archimedes to King Hiero. "A crown8completely of gold displaces9water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I'm certain that it is not10made of gold. "

"The crown maker tricked me, didn't he? What a bad man he is!" shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison.

Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious food. As an important manager, he was often asked to dinner. The shopkeepers tried their best to fawn on（巴结）him. They knew it was good for their business. The manager got fatter and fatter. He could hardly go upstairs at home and had to sleep downstairs. He often felt tired if he walked or did some housework. He was worried about it and had to go to see a doctor. 

"Stop eating much fat （脂肪） and sugar, Mr. Jenkins, "or it will be worse for your health!" It was difficult for the manager to do it. He wouldn't do as the doctor said. Of course, he found something was wrong with his heart a few months later. Now he thought the doctor was right. And he had to be in hospital. 

"You must lose weight, Sir, " said the doctor

"Could you tell me a way to lose weight, please? "

"You must do exercise first. "

"Which exercise? "

"To move your head from side to side when you're invited to dinner!

 People have told stories about Robin Hood for more than 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends(传说), Robin was quite smart and had a playful sense of humour. He loved playing jokes and tricks on people.

"Pick a card, any card!"

 The stories say that Robin Hood was a skilled archer(弓箭手) and he always carried a bow and arrow.

"Ha ha, too easy!"

 He wore green clothes and a hat with a green feather. He lived in Sherwood Forest with a group of outlaws(逃犯), known as his‘Happy Men'. The group included Friar Tuck, "Mmm. yummy!" Little John, who was unusually tall, "Little is just my nickname!", and Robin's true love, Maid Marian. "Take that!"

 Sherwood Forest was a royal(皇家的) hunting forest near Nottingham in England. Most people thought that forests were dangerous places to go. People travelling through the forests were often robbed by outlaws.

"Your money, please, my Lord!"

"Oh no, it's Robin Hood!"

 The stories say that Robin Hood only took money from rich people so that he could give it to people who needed it. So he became famous for‘robbing from the rich and giving to the poor'.

"Here you are, my dear."

"Oh, thank you, Robin!"

 The Sheriff(郡长) of Nottingham was Robin's arch-enemy. It was the sheriff's job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king's deer.

"What's that? Is that Robin Hood?"

 The Sherlff of Nottingham tried to catch Robin Hood, but never succeeded.

"Oh no, not again!"

 Centuries ago people loved to tell each other stories of Robin Hood. Later he became a famous character in books, and nowadays Robin is still a well-loved hero in books, theatre, TV and films.
