An article explained that there was a man inside the machine playing chess.On November 9, 1874, an article in an important newspaper in New York reported that all the animals in the New York Zoo had suddenly escaped and were running all over the city.

However, as she climbed the stairs to receive her prize, people began to doubt(质疑) her because she didnt even seem to be out of breath(气喘吁吁).None of the other runners saw her, and her pictures never appeared in photographs or TV broadcasts of the race.

Gareths brothers are old enough to look after the house while they are away.I cant say it was easy, says Kath. There was a lot to think about and organize. We only had a car and a very small caravan(大篷车)to sleep in, and we were leaving behind our lovely house. The only thing Gareth missed was his long, hot baths.People ask about my education, says Gareth, but from the beginning, wherever we go, someone has always come to teach me. I follow the same books as everyone back at school and Ive got a computer. Ive never fallen behind my classmates.And the future?
