第一本描寫英國對外情報機構祕情局（通稱ＭＩ６）
早期歷史，而且獲得該局授權的專著《軍情六處》
（MI6: The History of the Secret Intelligence Service 1909-1949）
今天出版，透露許多歷史祕辛。
世人耳熟能詳的○○７情報員龐德（James Bonds），
在小說與電影中就是為ＭＩ６出生入死。
作者傑福瑞（Keith Jeffrey）是北愛爾蘭女王大學
（Queen’s University）的歷史學教授，他獲准閱讀ＭＩ６
自一九○九年成立至一九四九年冷戰初始期間的檔案，
這些檔案過去從未公之於世。
ＭＩ６情報員許多事蹟，確實可以和小說電影情節媲美。
他們曾經炸掉船艦、暗殺重要目標、滲透納粹佔領的歐洲、
前進蘇聯鐵幕，必要時還能展現調情技巧，憑著男性魅力換取情報。

No Ordinary Blanket
This is my
blanket.
My blanket is not just an
ordinary blanket.
My blanket can change into different things.
If I
tie it around my
neck,my blanket can change into a
cape.
“I am Superman!”
If I drape it between two chairs,my blanket can change into a fort.
“I am the
captain of my
fort!”
If I put it over my head,my blanket can change into a
ghost.
“Boo! I am
scary!”
If I tie up the corners,my blanket can change into a bag.
“Now, I can carry my toys!”
If I
spread it out on the table,my blanket can change into a
tablecloth.“Let’s eat!”
If I
roll it
up, my blanket can change into a
pillow.
“Let me show you how I
rest my head!”
See, I told you this blanket is no ordinary blanket.
But,
best of all,my blanket can make me
warm if it
covers me.
I like my blanket!

It was a year ago that Joshua Saffle got a
bike for a
Christmas gift,
and he rode it every day. Until recently, the bike was gone from its usual place.
Running to his
front yard, Joshua, 9 years old, saw a man
loading it into his car.
He
shouted, but the man
drove off.
Mrs. Saffle said Joshua has strong
faith, and told his dad that he
forgave the
thief.
What's more, he wanted the thief to know he was forgiven. So the next day,
he asked his mother to help him write a
message on a large
poster-board.
He
signed it and put it in the front yard.
''To the person who
stole my bike: You really hurt my feelings when you took my bike.
But I am a
Christian and because Jesus forgave me, I FORGIVE YOU!!''
When Joshua's father left for work the next day, the sign was face-down in the yard.
But then, at the end of the
driveway, the bike was back, and with new
handlebars, grips and tires!

下面這篇文章是我在
長頸鹿美語看到的
蠻不錯的文章喔
Helping Cry A little girl was late coming home for
supper. Her mother
angrily asked her where she had been.
The little girl replied that she had stopped to help Janie,
whose bicycle was broken.
"But you don't know anything about
fixing bicycles," her mother responded.
"I know that," the girl said, "I just stopped to help her cry."
Not many of us know anything about fixing bicycles, either.
And when our friends have fallen and broken, not their bicycles but their lives,
none of us knows how to fix that. We simply cannot "fix" someone else's life,
even though that's what we would like to do the most.
But like the little girl, we can stop to help them cry.
That is the best we can do, and that is a lot!
-- Murray Lancaster
supper 晚餐
angrily 生氣地
