A There was once a millionaire who loved money than anything else in the world. He didn’t know exactly how much money he had, so he took a little girl to count all his money for him.
It took the little girl six days to count all the money. When she told the millionaire that he had forty-two million dollars, he was full of joy and asked: “ How much pay do you want” The little girl said: “well, I worked for six days, so I think you ought to pay for six days. Give two pence for the for the first day. Each day after that, just give me the amount you gave me the day before, multiplied（乘）by itself.” The millionaire thought that in this way he would only have to give her a very few dollars. What a foolish little girl! So he immediately had his lawyer write up a contract（契约）, fearing that she would change her
mind.

E “I never imagined there would be a Pisa Tower in China,” said an excited
tourist when they saw the leaning tower, the Huqiu Tower of Suzhou.
Huqiu Tower is meters high and stands on the top of the Huqiu Hill which is seven kilometers southwest of Suzhou . According to studies of the tower, it was first built in 959 – 961. More than five centuries later, two brothers built a villa(别墅) on the hill and turned the area into a garden, with pavilion(亭子), pools and the Huqui Temple.
Now, every day, many tourists, both Chinese and foreign, visit the old and leaning tower. But the builders of the tower did not expect the tower to lean.
