During World War Ⅱ the Red Cross set up a program for people to send letters to soldiers in Europe so they would never be lonely.

As their letters became more frequent they realized that they had much in common and a friendship was formed. Through the ever-increasing letters they came to know each other more and he looked forward to them as he moved ever forward into combat and danger.

address and phone number, family pictures, notes and money in it. The magazine workers then watched to see what happened.
South Koreans in Seoul returned six out of the ten dropped wallets, while those in Inchon returned eight. 50 percent of the dropped wallets were returned in Bombay, Bangkok, Taipei and Kajang in Malaysia, with most people saying they would not keep what was not rightfully theirs.
Honesty had little relation to wealth or status(地位),as several well-dressed people in a number of cities were observed to walk away without doing anything to get in touch with the rightful owners.
About 57 percent of the wallets were returned, compared with 28 percent in Europe in a similar experiment and 67 percent in the United States. 28.The newspaper report is mainly about_________.

The months are familiar to everyone. Nearly any small child can rattle off the twelve months of the year. But how and why did the names come into being?
Every month’s name tells a story. January is named after Janus, a Roman god described as having two faces, one looking forward and one looking back. As the god of doors, he had to watch out for friends and enemies coming from either direction. February is a form of februare, which was a Roman festival. On that day, people begged the gods for healthy children and enough crops in the next year.
March is named after Mars, whom many people have read about as the god of wars. Few people realize that at first Mars was the god of springtime. Fighters would “take the winter off” from fighting, resting while the weather was too bad for the battle. In the spring-around what we now think of as March battles would start again. From this time line, Mars soon became more well known as the god of wars than of springtime. April is a mystery. Experts argue a lot about the origin of it.
May is also named after a goddess, Maika. She was the goddess of plants, because plants often begin to have flowers in May.
Not every month kept the same name over the years. The first name for July was Quintilis, “the fifth month”. August was at first called Sextilis, “the sixth month”. Likewise, September, October, November, and December were the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months. How did July and August get their new names? July was named after Julius Caesar, the first emperor of Rome, after he was killed in 66 BC. August was named after Augustus Caesar, Julius Caesar’s nephew.
