We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.

Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy(辛辣的)food? Is it because the spices make the food taste better? Is it just because their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents liked hot food，or is there some connection between spices and healthy food? Researchers from Cornell University think that it is because spice plants have some important chemicals. These chemicals can kill bacteria(細菌)which spoil(變質(zhì))food.

“Most common spices can kill 75 to 100 percent of the bacteria in food,” explains one of the scientists. The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food more quickly at higher temperatures. For this reason, it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot climates.

Do you like your food spicy? Your answer probably tells something about the country you come from. If you like spicy food, it is possible that hundreds of years ago, when there were no fridges, people in your country started using spices to keep the food from spoiling. The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to live longer, healthier lives. Today, in a time of fridges, the spices just make the food taste good.

When someone who is in good health dies suddenly, there is usually an inquest(審問). A coroner(驗尸官)will do it. His job is to find out exactly how a person died.

If there is nothing suspicious about the death, he will decide that the person died from

natural causes or an accident, if, however, he is suspicious, he may decide that the person’s death was caused by a person or persons unknown.

One day the coroner was trying to find out exactly what had caused the death of a local

businessman, Henry Watson.

The man’s wife was explaining something. She was very sad and had to stop from time to time. The coroner did not want to make her sadder than necessary, but he had to find out the truth.

pain? ” “Yes.” “Did he say anything? ” The wife kept her head down．

The wife took a deep breath and then spoke. “He said,” She replied in a very low voice, “I'm not surprised that seafood we had for dinner cost you only 50 cents.”
