天津高考英語閱讀練習題原文

　　Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trustbanks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he wentstraight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.

　　And then there was the man who buried his savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof(防水的)bag. When he dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten thebag and everything in it.

　　And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where theyhave buried them or lose the map.
