Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales(童话).

The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained 10 000 with a cutting from the Braunschweiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag；similar plain white anonymous (匿名) envelopes, each containing 10 000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.

“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing, ”Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.

Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung，said:“Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know.”However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city’s hero，for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered，with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life，and he obviously knew it.

“You may wonder，Sir Percival，”said Laura calmly，“if Iam going to ask to be released（免除）from my promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father’s wishes too much.”

His face relaxed a little，but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.

“No，if we are going to withdraw (退出) from our planned marriage，it will be because of your wish，not mine.”

“Mine?”he said in great surprise.“What reason could I have for withdrawing?”

“A reason that is very hard to tell you,”she answered.“There is a change in me.”

“His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.

“What change?”he asked，trying to appear calm.

“I will do both those things,”he said. Then he looked at Laura，as if he was waiting to hear more.

Finally,a cell phone

That’s...a phone

With rates as low as ＄3.75 per week！

“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a‘global-positioning’something or other that’s supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids！The people at the store weren’t much help. They couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans！They were confusing, and expensive...and the contract（合同）lasted for two years！I’d almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now,I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch...with a phone I can actually use. ”

Affordable plans that I can understand-and no contract to sing（签订）！Unlike other cell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I’m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won’t find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign-so I’m not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.

Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons（神经元）in our brains.

Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate（模仿）it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play
