Then the game started．We boys tried our best to climb as high as we could．We all made it halfway up the tree before David did，but he reached the top of the tree fastest in the end．

His mother was excited to see this．She asked him， “David，how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so quickly？”

When Jan gets home，her mum and dad are waiting for her．They say they need to talk to her so they all sit down at the kitchen table．There’s an old envelope（信封） on the table．

“What’s in the envelope？ ” Jan asks．

“We don’t know， “Jan’s mum says． “When I started working at Kiwi，Tom Green gave me this envelope．He told me to give it to my daughter when she became eighteen．I don’t know how he knew about you． ”

“We know you’re not eighteen yet but we feel this is the right time for you to open the envelope， ” dad says．

Jan nervously takes the envelope and opens it slowly．She looks inside and takes out some papers， “They look like legal documents（法律文件）． ”

Jan’s dad starts looking at the documents．He looks surprised then shocked．

“According to these papers，Jan owns 50% of Kiwi Technology．Tom Green owns the rest． ”

“I think it’s a good idea if we don’t say anything about this．Let’s put the documents back in the envelope and forget about it until Jan is eighteen， ” mom says．

Jan agrees to keep the secret．She wants life to be normal（正常的） again but she wonders if life is ever going to be normal again．

33．（8分）People use their mouths for many things．They eat，talk，shout and sing．They smile and they kiss．In the English language，there are many expressions（表达）using the word “mouth”．But some of them are not so nice．

Information is often spread through “word of mouth．” This is general communication between people，like friends talking to each other． “How did you hear about that new movie？” someone might ask． “Oh，by word of mouth．” A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece（发言人）．This is an official spokesperson．Government﹣run media could also be called a mouthpiece．
