Scene 1
（The setting is a room in the palace of the Queen of Sheba． The Queen sits at one end of the room on a chair． Zahrah stands on one side of the chair． Amram is showing some silks to the Queen．）
Amram： Would your Majesty be good enough to feel this silk？ See how fine and soft it is!
（Amram comes a little closer to the Queen and holds out some purple silk， She feels it．）
Queen： Yes， it is． And I like this bright purple color very much．（She turns to Zahrah） Zahrah，what do you think of it？
Zahrah： I like it very much， and it is a good color for a queen， your Majesty．（ She folds up the silk and puts it to one side．）
Amram： The king of my own country， the wise King Solomon， likes this bright purple better than any other color．
Queen： I have heard many things about your king．
Amram： He is a good king， your Majesty，and a kind man． All his people love him．
Queen： I have also heard that he is very wise． Is it true， Amram， that King Solomon understands what animals say？
Amram： It is true， your Majesty．
Queen（Smiles）： It's very hard to believe．
Amram： If I told you what happened one time when I was with the king， I think you would believe it．
Queen： I'd like to hear your story．
Amram： Well， one day our king and some men of his palace were riding on horseback to a nearby city． The king was riding ahead of the rest of us． All at once he pulled his horse to stop．He looked down at the sand in the road．
Queen：Go on．
Amram： Then the king turned his horse off the road and onto the grass．He kept his horse on the grass a little way before turning back onto the road．
Queen： Did he say why he stopped and then turned his horse off the road？
Amram： King Solomon told us he had seen some ants hurrying along in the sand of the road． He said he had heard them say they were afraid that the horses would walk on them．
Queen（Surprised）： And that was why your mighty king turned off the road？
Amram（Proud）： Yes， your Majesty． The mighty King Solomon stopped to hear what the little ants in the sand were saying． He turned off the road to save them from being hurt．
Queen： Then he must be as wise and as kind as people say he is．
Amram： Now you can believe it， can't you？
Queen： I won't fully believe it until I see and hear him myself， Amram．
Amram：Then why don't you come to our country and pay him a visit， your Majesty？
Queen： Yes， I think I shall do that， Amram． But first I must think of a way to test this wise king．You may go now ，Amram．
Amram： Good day， your Majesty． （He backs away）．

We all need cash（现金）in order to live our lives． However， something called digital currency is slowly taking the place of cash． A currency is a kind of money． Usually， we use currency when we talk about a country's money． If something is digital， it only exists（存在）on a computer， So "digital currency" means money that only exists on computers．
Lots of people have digital currency accounts（账户）． They use a credit card（信用卡）to change their real money into digital money， and then the money goes into the digital currency account． A lot of people wonder，"Why in the world should I change my real money into digital currency？" This is a fair question， but there's a good amswer． If you want to buy something online， then you usually have to use digital currency．For example， if you're in China and you want to buy something in Canada， then you' ll have to pay with digital currency．
Many people still don't trust digital currency． Some people think that if they can't hold their money in their hand， then it doesn't seem real． These people don't feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen． The computer tells them that their money is safe but these people don't really feel safe． Another problem is security（安全）． There are hackers all over the world．A hacker is a person who steals computer information． If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account， he or she can steal your money．
You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention． Just remember one thing： If you want to buy something online， then you probably won't have a choice．You'll have to use digital currency．

Q： At recess（课间休息）， I don't know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don' like or don't want to play． So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing． What should I do？
Alex rider，13， Bloomfield，N．J．
A： In fact， recess was my least favorite part of the school day for Grades 1 to 5． I was never really into playing kickball． So， like you， I spent many days at recess standing alone． Take advantage of the extra time you have．I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time， especially if it is sunny． Books are good for a lonely recess，because they take you out of your world and into another． If reading isn't your thing， then try making new friends． Some other things I would do at recess were chess and paper cutting． Those might be worth trying． Maybe the teacher who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well． Whatever you want to do， don't let your time go to waste．Johnny Hayes， 15 |
A： Do you believe in time travel， Alex？Because you just dragged me 40 years into the past． When I was 13， half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess﹣ which was too vigorous（剧烈的） for me right after lunch． So， like you， I stood around a lot． Then， one day， my teacher， Susie， asked me．"What do you want to do？ I had no answer for her． But suddenly， it came to me： marbles! I asked a few friends， and they were happy to join me． Now， I'm not suggesting you play marbles， only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy． And one last idea： There's no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won't like． You might just surprise yourself． Philip Galanes， adult |

Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own．The boy is me，six years ago when I was just 11．The car was small and simple，but in my imagination it was a high﹣speed racing car，speeding along the race road．
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and garage（车库） beside our house．It meant to add something new to our home．When I watched the workman，I came up with an idea﹣﹣﹣I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it．I told my mother and began with my plans．But I couldn't find the right things for making the car，so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing．My mother noticed that I had stopped working and asked me why．I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to fit the things I had，rather than give up．
And that's just what I did．I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house．When I found a small engine（发动机） from one of my old model planes，I added that．The power came from a battery（电池） I found in a box．
By the time the garage was finished，so was my car．I called my family together outside the house，started the engine and put the car on the driveway．It was fast，and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door．My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly．Thanks to my mother I learned the value of continuing to do things，especially something difficult．Soon I was making plans for my next project：a robot!
