Passage 2
For most American kids, it wouldn't be Halloween without trick-or-treating for candy;however, that wasn't always the case. When the custom of trick-or-treating started in the 1930s and early 1940s, children were given everything from homemade cookies and pieces of cake to fruit,nuts, coins and toys. In the 1950s, candy manufacturers began to get in on the act and promote their products for Halloween, and as trick-or-treating became more popular, candy was increasingly regarded as an affordable, convenient offering. It wasn't until the 1970s, though, that wrapped,factory-made candy was viewed as the only acceptable thing to hand out to all the little ghosts and goblins that showed up on people's doorsteps. A key reason for this was safety, as parents feared that real-life boogeymen might tamper with goodies that weren't store-bought and sealed.
Today, when it comes to Halloween candy, a number of the most popular brands are enduring classics. For example, the first Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar was produced in 1900 and Hershey's Kisses made their debut in 1907. Company founder Milton Hershey was a pioneer in the mass-production of milk chocolate and turned what previously had been a luxury item for the well-to-do into something affordable for average Americans. In the early 1900s, he also built an entire town, Hershey, Pennsylvania, around his chocolate factory. In 1917, Harry Bumett Reese moved to Hershey, where he was a dairyman for the chocolate company and later worked at its factory.Inspired by Milton Hershey's success, Reese, who eventually had 16 children, began making candies in his basement. In the mid-1920s, he built a factory of his own and produced an assortment of candies, including peanut butter cups, which he invented in 1928 and made with Hershey's chocolate. During World War II, a shortage of ingredients led Reese to pull the plug on his other candies and focus on his most popular producter, peanut butter cups. In 1963, Hershey acquired the H.B Reese Candy Company.
In 1923, a struggling, Minnesota-born candy maker, Frank Mars, launched the Milky Way bar, which became a best-seller. In 1930, he introduced the Snickers bar, reportedly named for his favorite horse, followed in 1932 by the 3 Musketeers bar. Frank's son Forrest eventually joined the company, only to leave after a falling out with his father. Forrest Mars relocated to England, where he created the Mars bar in the early 1930s. In 1941, he launched M&Ms. Mars anticipated that World War II would produce a cocoa shortage, so he partnered with Bruce Murrie, son of a Hershey executive, in order to have access to a sufficient supply of ingredients; the candy's name stands for Mars and Murrie.
Another crowd-pleasing Halloween candy, the Kit Kat bar, was first sold in England in 1935as a Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp and in 1937 was rechristened the Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp. The name is said to be derived from a London literary and political group, the Kit-Cat (or Kit Kat) club,established in the late 17th century. The group's moniker is thought to be an abbreviation of the name of the man who owned the shop where the group originally gathered. Since 1988, the brand has been owned by Nestle, maker of another perennial trick-or-treat favorite, the Nestle Crunch bar,which debuted in the late 1930s.

Yu Gong Moves a Mountain
Once upon a time，there was a very old man．There were two mountains near his house．They were so big and high that it took a long way to walk to the other side．The old man told his family that they should all help him to move the mountains．
Yu Gong said they could put them into the sea because it's big enough to hold everything．Yu Gong and his family began to move some of the soil and stone into the sea．
One day a mall saw Yu Gong and his children when they were working on moving the mountains．He told Yu Gong that he could never do it because he was old and weak．
As soon as the man finished talking，Yu Gong said that his family could continue to move the mountains after he died．His family would live and grow，but the mountains could not get bigger．So Yu Gong and his family kept on digging day after day and year after year．
Finally，a god was so moved by Yu Gong that he sent two gods to take the mountains away．

Liberia，the oldest independent Negro state in West Africa，has been struggling for survival ever since its foundation in 1822．Progress has been hampered by constant hostility between the American
Negroes whose families returned there in the early 19th century，and the West Africans whose ancestors never left the continent．Though the two groups are of the same race，they are divided by language and outlook and regard each other with deep suspicion creating a conflict which was not foreseen by Liberia’s founders．
In addition，neighboring states，native tribe，disease，and poverty have made life dangerous and difficult．The government has tried desperately，through loans and a trickle of trade，to make ends meet．Anxiety about financial matters lessened somewhat when，in l910，the United States accepted responsibility for Liberia’s survival．However，not until Harvey Firestone，the American rubber king，
decided that the United States must produce its own rubber--with Liberia as the site of the rubber plantations-did Liberia have much hope of paying its debts and balancing its budget．
The rubber industry，founded in the l 920s，and the activity that followed it brought both progress and profit to Liberia．Before that time Liberia had DO roads，no mechanical transport and no good port；its people had little education and few tools．Liberians feel that the country is being ruled by rubber．
For this reason，the recent discovery of iron ore is important．Liberian leaders are trying to moderate the power of the rubber industry and to establish the country’s political and economic independence．
