She put four small coins into the cake,  and then she baked (烤) it. The four coins were for good luck. After dinner Marie and her family ate the cake. They found three coins in the cake and put them on the table. Where was the fourth coin? It was missing, but Marie's mother didn't notice.     

After Christmas, Marie got sick. She coughed, and she couldn’t speak. After six weeks she felt better, but she still couldn't speak. Marie's parents took her to hospital. Doctors at the hospital looked her over, and then said, "We are sorry, but we can't help her."

She coughed up something small and black. What was it? Marie didn't know. She took it to the hospital. A doctor at the hospital said, "This is a coin!"

Passage 2

Grace is in chocolate trouble . Last week her boss, Mr. Clark, came back from Europe and brought some chocolates into the office. At lunch, when she went to the office refrigerator to get her lunch, she saw the box of the chocolates there, and she thought it was for them! But for the rest of the day, her boss didn’t say anything. She kept checking the refrigerator, and back at her desk. She couldn’t stop thinking of the chocolates.

Then, around 4:00, she pretended to go for coffee, but in fact she went to the restroom and took out the box of the chocolates. She was only going to smell it. But when she had it in her hands, she thought, “It’s OK；it’s for us. Why not have my piece a little earlier?”So she opened it up and ate one and went back to her desk.

A bit later, Grace found herself back at the refrigerator. She looked at the box and noticed the box still looked full. She thought, “It doesn’t matter for me to have a second piece.” It was so delicious that she couldn’t help eating a third, a fourth...until suddenly she had eaten half the box. She felt really stupid. She was afraid that others would find that. So she closed the box and tied the ribbon(丝带)again.

The next day, Grace knew the chocolates were for an important guest. When the guest opened the box and it was half empty, Mr. Clark felt so embarrassed. That was a week ago. But he still keeps asking who ate the chocolates. And all the others complain about that. Grace never thought this problem would get so big. What should she do? Should she give up her job? Tell her boss the truth? Just let it be? She’s in so much trouble.

The Chinese way of eating with chopsticks is unique in the world. The recorded history of chopsticks started more than three thousand years ago. Chopsticks were named Zhu in ancient Chinese. They look deceptively simple to use, but possess multi-various functions, such as clamping, turning over, lifting up, raking, stirring, scooping, poking, tearing, and so on. Chopsticks were taken as an auspicious mascot by ordinary people in ancient China. For example, the partial tone of chopsticks is often used by people as a metaphor at weddings to indicate a blessing or benediction for the couple to have a baby soon.
