     In the dark and damp market, Chen Shu-Chu, near her sixties, owns a stall (摊位) that her father left her. The stall, called Yuan-Jin Vegetables, is her everything. Chen earns only a little money by selling vegetables, but she has donated about $321,550 to help poor children.
     In March, Forbes magazine named her one of the 48 great philanthropists (慈善家) from the Asia-Pacific region. A month later, TIME magazine selected the year’s top 100 influential people and Chen was one of them. Although she received many honours and rewards, Chen only cares about her vegetable stall and whether her regular customers buy her vegetables or not. "I do not place great importance on money. When I donate to help others, I feel happy and I can sleep well at night." Chen said.
     Chen’s ability to donate such a great deal has led many to ask: "How can a mere vegetable seller donate so much?"
     "Spend only on what you need, and you’ll be able to save a lot of money!" says Chen. Chen leads a very simple life. All she needs is food and a place to sleep. Everything else is a luxury. Neither does she have any desire for material gains nor any form of enjoyment. Work, she says, is her enjoyment. "I love my work. If I didn’t, how would I be able to work 16 hours a day?" Being the first to arrive and last to leave, she has been given the title of "market manager".
     She is content with what she has. She feels that as long as she lives the life she wishes for and does the things she likes, that is good enough.

Disappearance of the Indus Valley Civilization(印度河流域文明)The ancient Indus Valley civilization was India’s oldest known civilization. Their sudden disappearance compares with that of the great Maya. In fact, it wasn’t until 1922 that a new discovery was made that the Indus Valley people kept their place very clean. They had clean bathrooms. Furthermore, there is no evidence of armies, slaves or the so-cial conflicts that ancient societies often had.
The Voynich Manuscript(伏尼契手稿)
     The Voynich manuscript might just be the most unreadable book in the world. The 500-year-old object was discovered in 1912 in a library in Rome, consisting of 240 pages of illustrations written in a language not known to anyone. Understanding the content has puzzled even the best cryptographers(译解密码者). However, research of the writing shows that the manuscript does seem to follow the basic structure and rules of a working language.
Lost City of Helike(赫里克城)
     Greek writer Pausanias gave a description of how a great earthquake destroyed the city of Helike. Moments later, a tsunami swept away what remained of the once rich metropolis, which had been a center of worship to Poseidon, earth shaker and god of the sea. No trace of the legendary society existed outside of ancient Greek texts until 1861 when an archaeologist found a bronze coin with the unmistakable head of Poseidon. In 2001, some researchers located the ruins of Helike under coastal mud. They are now working to unearth what some consider the "real" Atlantis.
