Passage 1
Long time ago, people often kept their treasure and money somewhere secret or unknown because they thought it was a good way to stop other people from taking it. They tried different ways as they could think out. They chose a quiet place, dug a deep hole and buried(埋藏) the treasure in it. Then they made a map of where the treasure was or wrote down other clues(线索)that would help them or someone else to find it again.
In Britain a few years ago, a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.
One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson's “Treasure Island”, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates(海盗) and later finds some buried treasure.
Then there is a true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.
And then there was a woman who buried her savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof(防水的)bag. When she dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.
