30、son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719.

36、 are unknown.Passage Three Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depo

37、sitors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experience

38、d. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the teller

39、s to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was s

44、 confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed failure of several other banks to open confidence shown by other depositors of the bank Passage Four One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first s

45、ettlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the states 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heat

46、ing, some solution had to be found. Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers children who would pick them up on th

47、eir way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance.
