They believed that the bones were human and that they were about 500,000 years old. They also believed the bones were important because they were from a little-known stage in the evolution(演变) of human beings.The bones were kept in Beijing until 1941. Then because the Japanese army was advancing towards the city, the scientists decided to send the bones to the US for safety.Dr Harry L. Shapiro, former Professor of Anthropology(人类学) at Columbia University, has been searching for them ever since. He believes they were stolen by the American army officer whose job was to take them to the US. He could be right.After the war, a Chicago businessman offered $5,000 to anybody with information about the bones. A woman phoned him and told him she knew where the bones were. He arranged to meet her on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building in New York. They met and she told him that her husband had come home from China with fossils (化石) of a prehistoric (= of the time before recorded history) man. She showed him photograph of them. Then she walked away and was never heard from again.A few years later, however, a Sydney businessman reported that he had the bones and that he had buried them in a forest in Tasmania. He offered to say where for a large sum of money. Then he, too, was never heard from again Someone, somewhere, has the bones but nobody seems to know who or where.41.

Tea, however, does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.In China, for example, tea is often served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony(礼节). It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.Another tea-drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is often called “tea time”. Many people have a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They might also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at tea time.In the United States, people drink tea mostly for breakfast after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In the summer, many Americans drink cold tea sometimes called “iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from ca ns, like soda.46.
